If your installing the server on a homogenous Novell network, you might be better off with a package like mars-nwe - that way you wouldn't have to install additional software on the clients and it would function in your existing security context. -----Original Message----- From: samba@samba.org [mailto:samba@samba.org]On Behalf Of Bruce, Phillip Sent: Monday, July 10, 2000 12:35 PM To: Multiple recipients of list SAMBA Subject: Novell Hi, I like to know if anyone has ever gotten samba to work on Sun Solaris on a Novell Network.

Daniel,
Thanks for the tip. My problem seems to be more than just that. My laptop
is connected to a subnet that
is different that what the subnet on the samba server. Any ideas. I can
ping to the server from the laptop
just fine. I decided to put the standard smb.conf file in the
configuration that came with the distribution.
I still unable to get the server to come up in the laptop network
neighborhood window.
Also I can ping my laptop from the server so it is not a routing issue. I
also made sure that the workgroup
is set correctly to what I'm on.
Anybody with a hint. In case your all wondering what the configuration
are:
Samba Server: Sun Ultra 2: Solaris 2.8
Network: 100 Base T VLAN Network.
The network domains are running on Novell Servers which version 4.11
Laptop has TCP/IP software and loaded and connect to the internet just
fine.

It sounds like the problem lies with the client setup more than the
Sun/Samba setup. On the Sun box you should be able to do a:
smbclient -U username -L \\sunboxhostname
and get a listing of the shares you have setup on the box. This will tell
you if Samba is running at least somewhat OK.
On your laptop (running Windows of some sort) go into your network
propertied (Control Panel, Network) and make sure you have TCP/IP loaded and
configured properly. If they are running just netware clients they may only
have IPX/SPX installed for a protocol. Once you are sure TCP/IP is loaded,
make sure you can ping the Sun box from a client.
Then do a Start ... Run and run \\sunboxhostname\sharename and see what
happens. A prompt for a password tells you at least that you got them
talking.
If you still are not talking check your log.smb and log.nmb (where ever they
are set to go mine go to either /var/log/samba/* or to
/usr/local/samba/var/* depending on whether I used a precomiled version or
compiled it myself.
If I am stating what is already obvious to you, I don't mean to sound like I
am talking down to you. I'm just not sure what level you are at, and tend
to default to the lower end.

That is actually a pretty common problem. You probably will need to setup a

Can you connect if you do a Start ... Run... and type in

Dmitry,
I have had success with novell mapped to samba. I have the shares mount
under /mnt as -U butthead -P passwd. The shares in /mnt show up as 775
access under user in the user's group. I use one user/passwd combo for
everyone which is not great. I would like to set up a prexec script to
mount each share by the logon user from samba, but I haven't found a way to
sync the passwords. Novell is setup to time out the passwords.
I have the share set as
[cadfiles]
comment = Cadfiles Shareon novell
path = /mnt/novell/share/folder
read only = No
It works fine when the novell mount is not broken. I've had trouble with
the IPX interface, but it works. If you have any specific questions,
please let me know. Regards
Dan Naughton
