Mars NWE

I eventually got MARS_NWE running on a Mandrake 9.1 box, the printer shares are fine as are file access.

The Server name is LANCIA

Basically what i want to do is to set it up so that when a Windows user logs in a start up script runs (like on a "proper" netware server), and map y:\ to the share the SYS folder (currently accessed via Network Neighbourhood)

The line in the nwserv.conf file to define this share is
"1 SYS /home/netware/SYS/ #SYS"

All users want this to run - all have the same Linux GUI and UID (13 and 13)

i.e. when logging into the server the Y:\ drive on windows is actually the /home/netware/SYS/ folder on LANCIA

Also, quick question - is it possible to add printers/users without taking mars_nwe down and restarting it?

yay, i finally susses this out
First load /etc/nwserv.conf

Look at where the SYS mount is - the line will be like this :
1 SYS /home/netware/SYS/ # SYS

cd /home/netware/SYS/PUBLIC/
vi "NET\$LOG.DAT"

Treat as a normal Login script - The Novell Guide to Netware Networks Book has a load of examples in chapter 10 - you can ignor NDS stuff as it won't work.

My example is

Code:

Write "Good %GREETING_TIME, %LOGIN_NAME."
MAP DISPLAY OFF
MAP ERRORS OFF

Write "Welcome to %FILE_SERVER The MARS_NWE Print Server"

Write "Restoring Network Shares...."

MAP K:=HIGHWAY:

Write "Connecting LPT1 to CAXTON...."

#capture L=1 Q=caxton ti=30 FF AU NOTI NB

IF "%OS" = "WIN98" THEN GOTO WINDOWS98

MAP DISPLAY ON
MAP
END
EXIT

;========= Subroutines ==========

WINDOWS98:
        Write "You are Running Windows 98"
EXIT

unfortunatly i get what seams to be a cosmetic error of "LOGIN-4.22.00-923: Un Unexpected Error Has Occured. 14 (89fc)"

But hey it works
