Novells's Client application (tray icon) will not work in Debian (SLED and Windows only??)
Novell shares can be mounted using ncpfs.
This how to assumes that the user is familer with the command line and has access to the root account.
As root:
Install ncpfs
- Code: Select all
aptitude install ncpfs
Make a mount point for your shared drive
- Code: Select all
mkdir /mnt/whatever_you_want_to_call_it
chown yourusername /mnt/what_ever_you_called_it
To mount your shares (regular user, not root)
- Code: Select all
ncpmount -S server_name -A server_ip -U USERNAME -V Data/Shared -u username /mnt/what_ever_you_called_it/
Notes:
- USERNAME is your Novell client log in name.
- username is your user name on the machine you're logging in from.
When prompted, enter your Novell password.
To unmount your shares:
- Code: Select all
ncpumount -S server_name
If you'd like to not have to enter your password when logging in, insert -P your_novell_password after USERNAME.
You can create launchers for both mounting and unmounting if you wanted to do so.
