Hello! I use a PAM-module (pam_ncp_auth from ncpfs) for authentication against a netware server. pam_ncp_auth can create local UNIX user accounts from information in NDS, and it works perfect with login, gdm and telnet. But not with openssh (2.5 and 2.9). It works perfect if the user already is in /etc/passwd, but the first time he logs on he doesn't exist there. In that case openssh call

I am trying to connect our centos 4.4 machines to our Novell Netware 5 servers. The goal is to allow the centos 4.4 clients to connect to the server and access shared folders. We are not looking for a single sign-on style solution just the ability to connect. I have tried searching google but I did not find anything really usefull as most of the hits pointed toward SUSE and in our case we have

Hia, I have a problem using the %G parameter. At the end if my smb.conf file I have something like: include = \etc\smb.conf.%G At this way I hoped that according the the group, I can load a configuration file accoring the the users group. Instead that a 'smb.conf.it' group is loaded, a samba tries to load 'smb.conf.nogroup' (guest account is uid=nobody gid=nogroup) WHat I

I have one last RH 7.3 system that I want to convert to CentOS 4, but I can''t find the ncpfs utilities that I used to use to mount Netware shares. Has support been removed from the 3.x and 4? Regards, Paul Berger

Has anybody installed Samba on a Novell 5 Server? I would like to replace the buggy NFS from Novell with Samba. Any hints what to do? Thank you, Mattias Kunkel

Hi, I run rsync, with a Netware-directory mounted on a linux system (using ncpfs) as DESTINATION of the copy. This configuration works fine, but rsync incorrectly sets the archive bit (modify) for ALL the files included in the transfered directory (both modified and not modified). In consecuence, the incremental backups on my netware server don't work. Any help will be apreciated.

Hullo, all. I diligently consulted the suggested reading on the way in: > Welcome to the rsync@lists.samba.org mailing list!

Howdy All, I am the adminstrator in a school which has netware 4.11 ( five servers in the nds tree )as its main student platform. This has been working very well over the past 6 years or so. The school has the ability to obtain a microsoft solution at no cost ( except for the new hardware required, which is the reason for this email in the first place ). Advice and opinions are sought on the

Hello, I've been Googling and O'Reillying around this problem for the last week without success, so I'm either stupid or it's not possible. My money's still on stupid. Can someone confirm that I can't do what I want to do: - Have a SuSE 9.1 Linux box running Samba 3.0 exporting shares by SMB. - Have users log into Windows boxes running a NetWare client,

Dear listmembers, recently our sysadmin turned off the support for ipx-protocol. Since then I found no way to mount my home-directory on the net (novell) on my linux box. Using ipx, I had had the same servername etc) I found a lot of discussions about the way vice versa, but no FM I could R to manage around this issue (i.e. mounting a Netware volume on a linux box). Anybody out there having an

I'd like to migrate a Netware 5.0 serve to Samba and LDAP. I'm wondering how I might export the usernames, passwords, and perhaps group memberships to the destination LDAP. If I can get the data into LDIF form, I'm okay from there. Does anyone know how the passwords in Netware 5.0 are encrypted? I hope to bring them over, but reseting the passwords is not out of the question (just

Hi everyone, I tried to use yum to search for ncpfs-2.2.1-1.i386.rpm, but it couldn't find it. I googled and found this package is included with redhat,but i'm not sure if it's included with CentOS 4.2. Any idea where I can find and install it using yum? Thanks JC

I'm running rsync 2.6.4 on debian stable ppc, backing up a couple of home directories to a Netware filestore mounted through ncpfs. My command looks like this: rsync -r -t --delete -i --modify-window=10 --exclude=/**/.* --exclude=/xxx/ /home/xxxx /home/xxxx /mnt/xxxx The backup works fine, except that everytime it's run all files are listed as having their times modified like this:

Hi, I have actual installation Debian Sarge (testing) with Samba 3.0.2a. There is Windows XP SP1 on workstations. I use Novell client 4.83 SP2 or 4.9 SP1 for Novell Netware connections.

Client gives me message "Domain controller could not be found for

Hi, I like to know if anyone has ever gotten samba to work on Sun Solaris on a Novell Network. I don't have an issue with installation on Sun Solaris that works fine.
