similar to: what to do ??

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,

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

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

Howdy everyone, I'm new to this list and new to Samba (although others at my company have experience with it). Anyway, I'm sure this has come up many times in the past but I have several Netware servers that people at remote sites need access to. The clients are Windows 95/98/NT, they all connect to their own NT domain (one domain per site), and they do NOT want to install the Novell

Can netware logins and password authenticate to samba shares? If so is it scalable? We have a about 50000 netware users. How do you set it up. Thanks Greg Turnbull

I am using Rsync to backup 4 Linux/Samba servers to a Netware 6.5 server over a VPN. Also using cyRsync to backup XP computers to the same Netware 6.5 server ovre a LAN. Rsync is run from a cron job on the Linux servers and the actual process works fine. However, I have found that when I rsync to the Netware Server from either Linux/Samba or Xp, the file Date Modified is changed to something like

Samba Users, I am looking for a Large Scale SAMBA success or failure story. I have been using Samba for a long time without any issues, however replacing many Netware servers with Linux/Solaris running Samba is a different story. Here is what is running through my mind 1. Novell 4.x causes a never ending stream of problems, including attacking and flooding the network with NDS tree fragments.

Hi List, We have a large (6500 desktops) network distributed over a few dozen sites. The clients are (almost) all Windows95 and WinXP. We currently use Netware as our network operating system, and are looking at the possibility of moving to (Samba on) Linux to provide file and print services. One of the nice things about Novell NDS is that you can specify printers that are available to

I am currently researching the possibility of slowly moving an existing Novell network [with all Windows clients except mine :)] to something Linux based. I have about 900 clients that would be slowly migrated if this whole thing is feasible. The version of NetWare we are using now is no longer "officially supported" from Novell, so it is becoming more and more difficult to successfully

Hi Ronnie, if your printer do work, this message is useless for you, trash it. I cannot confirm Tim's hypothesis, but i can say i presently have the same problem as you: in the printers folder there's that red message alerting me. My PC is running Win2K pro. I did not mind it, right-clicked on the printer's icon (my specific case is: lpq@router.x.y) and chose 'connect...'

Hullo, all. I diligently consulted the suggested reading on the way in: > Welcome to the rsync@lists.samba.org mailing list! PLEASE READ THIS > IMPORTANT ETIQUETTE MESSAGE BEFORE POSTING: > http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html 'Twas a quick read, given that I'm the co-author. ;-> I recently received an odd inquiry from someone I didn't know at all,

Does this list supports the NetWare version (rsync.nlm)? if not does anyone know of a list that does? I'm having all sorts of issues with this ported version on my NetWare 6.5 server. Thanks Jon L.

I'm a software developer at Novell. I have been tasked with porting OpenSSH to the NetWare 6.0 OS. I would like to include my NetWare specific changes,#ifdef'd of course, in the portable releases at some point. Whom should I contact with regard to this? And are there any guidlines I can look at online to minimize any disturbance this may cause to other platforms? Any assistance that

Hello Sorry for the newbie question.. I am new to Windows environment. I have setup a Samba -Version 1.9.18p10 on a Solaris 2.5.1 m/c. I want to hook WIN _NT and 95 /98 clients to it. The Win clients are on the same network and are also hooked to other Netware servers. I am not sure how this is done. I have set up entries for the Samba server in the 'lmhosts' file. The

Hi, I am hoping someone can kick me up the learning curve (!) on Virtualization: We have an old piece of data logging software that was written in Turbo Pascal 6 using a file I/O module tuned to Netware and so it expects its data files to be on a Netware server and will not access them locally or via an MS/Samba share - essentially, it uses direct NCP calls for parts of its data access. The

Dear Experts, I got Two Netware 6 Servers in the Same LAN. Server A is a main server (File Server). I'ld like to configure Server B as Backup server for Server A with RSync. I've follwed the documetnation at http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/netware/features/trenches/tr_rsync_nw.html But im confused how to start the process. Kindly help me how to Configure rsync in Server

I have attached a diff file with the changes to existing OpenSSH source files to accomodate the NetWare platform. All changes are #ifdef wrapped using one in one of the following defines: HAVE_NETWARE - Building for NetWare USE_EDIR - Using eDirectory(TM) for authentication. NICI - Using Novell International Cryptography Infrastructure (NICI) I have successfully built the OpenSSH-3.5p1

I am at my final stages of switching my file server from my ageing Novell Netware 5.0 to Linux Suse SLE9. All my workstations are WinXP and Win2000 so I am relying on samba for file sharing. My last stage to resolve is having a backup strategy for the server. I already have a SCSI HP Dat drive I can install in the server but need some easy to use software to back my files. It would need to be able

Hi there. I'm new to the list and I have a few questions about Samba. I've built a few Win9x/Samba networks, but I've been asked to build a Win2000/Samba network and I have a few issues. First off, is there some way with Win2000 and Samba to get a workstation independant login? Right now I have to create the user on the 2000 box for them to be able to login. Second, what is the best
