mount netware from linux
 

I got a netware login that I usually rdesktop to. In rdesktop it gives me the "Novell Client for Windows" box which has "username" "password" "tree" "Context" and "server"

I was wondering how can I mount it from linux. I have seen this being done before but I just can't remember how.

go to the novell website and download the novell client for linux

or use the one from sourceforge http://novelclient.sourceforge.net/

Thanks but I want to use mount(8)

OK, after a little playing about you can use mount.ncpfs as follows
(*Note* I couldn't get mount -t ncpfs ....etc to work at all)

mount.ncpfs -S 'IP_OF_SERVER' -A 'DNS NAME OF SERVER' -U '.username.ou.o' -V 'VOLUME NAME' /mnt/point

to give a real world example

mount.ncpfs -S 192.168.1.1 -A NETWARE1 -U .admin.tree -V SYS /mnt/192.168.1.1/SYS
this would mount the SYS volume on server 192.168.1.1 to /mnt/192.168.1.1/SYS on your local linux box

I found i NEED both the -S and -A to get it to work (got an Server Not Found (0x8847) error otherwise.
You can also include '-P password'

you certainly need ncpfs and slpuasa

btw I am using FC4 and probably got my versions of ncpfs & slpuasa from the sourceforge novell client.
