[K12OSN] two more netware/linux questions

[Guy Lessard]

Is setting UID and GID necessary in eDirectory for ncpfs to work?, i
did'nt add a single ID to anyone or is this mandatory to maintain the
K12 servers and Native file access operational?

As for squid/edirectory, i dont know of any solution.
