This much information is already around. A lot of network snoopers can take the simpler Netware protocol requests apart. I got as far as reading/writing files, cd and a couple of login bits before it became apparent that waiting for Undocumented Netware was easier 8) Besides which I'd rather Novell either made their protocol open or went bust while the rest of the world uses open network file store protocols (NFS, Lan manager etc). >To actually get a NetWare 4.0 login, you'd have to do what Microsoft >did, and hire 10 mathematicians for 6 months to deal with the RSA >key stuff -- and then you could start to code it. RC4 is a published algorithm, although not with RSA's permission it seems.
