Summary: nfs to netware permissions...help
Organization: Georgia State University
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1993 16:48:55 GMT


hello....i hope someone can help me here....i have a 600mg nfs mounted NetWare volume and am having problems with NFS and NetWare permissions....i am a Unix novice so this has been quite an experience.....here are the details:

600mg NetWare GEN volume nfs mounted as NETWARE on a DEC station

DEC station----
/netware              root          --x--x--x
     /usr                   root         --x--x--x
         /userA         userA     rwx------
        /userB          userB     rwx------


***I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE ABOVE PERMISSIONS...THIS IS HOW I WANT IT(I THINK)


NetWare Server----
Server/GEN:

SO.....could someone enlighten me on just how exactly these permissions are mapped or if they see something blatently wrong with the above....or give me any hints or suggestions(I AM DESPERATE AND WELCOME ALL SUGGESSTIONS/COMMENTS)......please help...thanks in advance!!!!!

Gee, this is getting way to serious.  I think the original proposal
was just a joke, wasn't it?  Anyway, there's a fair amount of traffic
on this list that isn't NetWare related.  LAN WorkPlace comes up from
time to time, for example, and the recent USL discussions didn't
really have anything to do with NetWare, either.  Consequently, i
think the list is already named correctly.  If someone wanted to
propose creating an entirely new list that was NetWare specific, that
would make more sense, but it doesn't strike me as worth the trouble.

Check whether users are allowed to own space on the relevant volume
(it's a SYSCON supervisor option).  If they aren't, you will have to give
each user a quota on that volume, by hand.  I don't know any easy way of
doing this for 10,000 users except deleting and recreating them - it's a
pity MAKEUSER doesn't support things like this (or bulk changing of
passwords).  Is there an easier way?

This would fit your symptoms exactly; I suggest you post again if it turns

It's a fairly good product if you're going to use more than the Login 
replacement.  I was pretty unhappy that you can't change servers on the 
Login screen.  We have a situtuation where users LOGOUT and then the 
NLICLEAR.NLM clears the connection.  When this happens and you have more 
than 1 server on your backbone, Netware will attach you to the next 
available server.  Because SABER doesn't have a place to change your
server, you are stuck there, unless you use the Netware Login to change
servers.  You also have to install it on all of your servers.  This can
get rather expensive.  

So I just wrote a Front/Back end to the Netware Login program in "C" 
this was my first ever "C" program, so it took me about a week, my 
guess is that a "C" guru could do it in a couple of days.

Definately a LOT cheaper for 5 servers, plus I added INS to get a list 
of servers, and all kinds of other options.  

Anyway... I'm not bagging on SABER.  It's actually a very good product,
but there are some things you should be aware of.

The NetWare v3.11 SNMP agent predates MIB-II and supports MIB-I only.
The writable entries in the system group were added in MIB-II.  Your
case confuses me a little because if that's your problem, i would have
thought you'd notice that you couldn't *read* them, either.

The 2.x version of the NetWare SNMP agent supports MIB-II and allows
you to read and write the appropriate system group items including
location and contact.  This new version has appeared in a few Novell
products such as the MultiProtocol Router 2.0 release, but it is not
available yet in any NetWare release or patch.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone out there knows if it is possible to apply

I suspect that if it is doable that the Novell login script variables
won't apply here.  I didn't see anything in the manual about this sort

I successfully loaded the ISADISK driver supplied by Novell.  INSTALL

not the disk.  Both Seagate and Western Digital swear total compatibility

The most common pitfall in 3.11 is running it.  If security is an issue

4.0 will offer, for a price, packet encoding. While this will help the
security, it will affect the performance.
