It's not going to happen.  Novell looks for products that will sell thousands
of copies.  Something of interest to a few dozen sites probably won't be of
much interest.

That's not to say it can't be done by someone else.  I don't think there are
any major technical obstacles to integrating Kerberos with NetWare 3.11.
The obstacle I see is merely the time required for implementation, and I
don't expect that anyone will be willing to overcome that.  :-(
