[KLUG Members] Mounting Novell 5.0 under Linux

[Tony Gettig]

Make sure you use your full contextual name, like tony.technology.kps.
You also need to make sure your interface is ready for IPX. Here's what
I do:

<-----snip------>

# ipx support
ipx_interface add eth0 EtherII
sleep 5
ipx_configure --auto_interface=on --auto_primary=on

# give it time, just in case it needs it :)
sleep 5

# mount server
mount.ncp -S server -U username.container.tree -P password -u xxx -g xxx
-f xxxx /mnt/mountpoint

<-----snip------>

Because I'm the only one using my PC, I put a line like this in my
/etc/rc.d/rc.local for each server I want to access. It might not be the
prettiest way or the best place to put it, but it works well for me.
Beware that anyone using your Linux PC will have whataever rights to
your NW mounts as the account specified by -U. File ownership on the NW
server will belong to that account too. As always, YMMV.
