getting rid of Novell

Just a quick question to lazyweb: We are having major problems with our aeon old Novell server and would like to migrate to something open that our youngsters can and want to administrate - i.e. something based on linux or unix. Any idea if there are easy migration tools to preserve accounts and functionality?

    It looks like you’re a mac person from visiting your weblog. I do technical pre-sales for Apple enterprise direct sales. OS X Server is open (based on BSD UNIX, includes Apache, perl, php, etc.) and works great. I actually used to work for Novell. Converting from NetWare to OS X Server would be a pretty manual process, but I think that would be the same even if you were moving from NetWare to Suse Linux. Users and groups are easy enough to transfer, but file system rights are tricky.

    If you want to know more, drop me an email at tdailey (at) apple [dot] com, glad to help.
