Novell and Linux

[koyot20]

How can I connect to a novell share?
I have a novell server and a Linux server. NovellClient installed on any clients, but I dont know, how to mountthe drives under Linux.

Hey koyot,

1. make shure that on your Linuxmachine the package named ncpfs.rpm or sth like that is installed.
With this package you can mount Netware.
2. type "ipxconfigure --auto_primary=on --auto_interface=on"
this enables ipx which is needed to make bindery-connenctions on Netware (if you find a way to mount netware by IP let me know please)
3. type "ncpmount -S servername -U username -P password /directory_on_linux_client"
for example: ncpmount -S NWSERVER01 -U admin -P oisfgs2 /mnt/nwserver01

If you are going to do that, you need to ensure that:

a) Your server has an NDS replica on it - this replica needs to host the login ID

b) The server has a bindery context set to the above replica

Without these, a bindery connection will fail
