The NetWare UNIX Client (NUC) package, performs most of the user needs. In many ways, it behaves in a similar way to the traditional NetWare client software (on PC's MAC's etc).
NUC gives users easy access to remote NetWare files (by clicking on icons). Usually, the user will have to authenticate to the NetWare server. But, if the UnixWare user id and password are the same as on the NetWare server, there is no need to re-enter the same password.
Many NetWare servers can be attached to as the same time - in fact, for UNIX users, the NUCFS works in a very similar way to NFS.
NUC has been multi threaded, of course, so taking full advantage of MP platforms.
