First, I would like to thank everyone for all the neat leads and good discussion on using Novell drives. But I may be missing the point or I was not clear. Let me reiterate.
Other than the drop in dbms performance, nothing has changed with how the Sambar box accesses a remote Novell drive. Remember, it is not a question of access or authentication, because it did work, and work very well. So the question comes down to performance. Maybe the following "illustration" would help. This worked initially worked, and for several years, very fast but performance suddenly dropped dramatically: Sambar -> ODBCcache -> ODBCsystem data source -> Novell drive To regain lightning fast performance I have re-configured to this: Sambar -> ODBCcache - ODBCsystem data source -> local drive The difference being that all database tables are now on the same box as Sambar. Initially, everything worked with the ODBC system data source configured to map to a remote Novell drive, and it worked lighting fast.
