Topic: Mount Novell Drive

[Stephen Sloan]

Is it possible to mount a drive from a Novell server? Could it be included under the files directory in an i-bay?

Hi,

I've been trying to find that out. I've received absolutely no replies from anybody in this forum. I found out that there are numerous ways to connect to Novell using Linux, with various IPX clients that are available. IPX has to be compiled into the kernel for that to work, and I believe it is not in e-smith. I havn't been able to find any linux tcp/ip clients for netware yet. That would be the simplest way. I tried out the IPX avenue, but am stuck without recompiling the kernel. I've done that in RedHat before, but I'm a little nervous about doing it on e-smith. So, what I'm saying is, find a way to do it with tcp/ip and you're set. Or recompile the kernel and then install the ncpfs package, or the mars package. Read the linux IPX HowTo. It's available everywhere. Let me know if you have any luck.
