+Packet signatures
+CONFIG_NCPFS_PACKET_SIGNING
+ NCP allows to sign packets for stronger security. If you want
+ security, say Y. Normal users can leave it off. To be able to use
+ packet signing you must use ncpfs > 2.0.12.
+
+Proprietary file locking
+CONFIG_NCPFS_IOCTL_LOCKING
+ Allows locking of records on remote volumes. Say N unless you have special
+ applications which are able to utilize this locking scheme.
+
+Clear remove/delete inhibit when needed
+CONFIG_NCPFS_STRONG
+ Allows manipulation of files flagged as Delete or Rename Inhibit.
+ To use this feature you must mount volumes with the ncpmount parameter
+ "-s" (ncpfs-2.0.12 and newer). Say Y unless you are not mounting
+ volumes with -f 444.
+
+Use NFS namespace when available
+CONFIG_NCPFS_NFS_NS
+ Allows you to utilize NFS namespace on NetWare servers. It brings you
+ case sensitive filesystems. Say Y. You can disable it at mount-time with
+ the -N nfs parameter of ncpmount.
+
+Use OS2/LONG namespace when available
+CONFIG_NCPFS_OS2_NS
+ Allows you to utilize OS2/LONG namespace on NetWare servers. Filenames
+ in this namespace are limited to 255 characters, they are case
+ insensitive, and case in names is preserved.
+ Say Y. You can disable it at mount time with the -N os2 parameter of
+ ncpmount.
+
+Allow mounting of volume subdirectories
+CONFIG_NCPFS_MOUNT_SUBDIR
+ Allows you to mount not only whole servers or whole volumes, but also
+ subdirectory from a volume. It can be used to reexport data and so on.
+ There is no reason why to say N, so Y is recommended unless you count
+ every byte.
+ To utilize this feature you must use ncpfs-2.0.12 or newer.

+NDS interserver authentication domains
+CONFIG_NCPFS_NDS_DOMAINS
+ This allows storing NDS private keys into kernel space where it can be
+ used to authenticate another server as interserver NDS accesses need
+ it. You must use ncpfs-2.0.12.1 or newer to utilize this feature.
+ Say Y if you are using NDS connections to NetWare servers. Do not say Y
+ if security is primary for you because root can read your session
