Understanding the Novell Client for Linux

Understanding the Novell Client

for Linux

The Novell®ClientTM for Linux* software allows users of Linux workstations to access and use all

of the services available on servers running Novell eDirectoryTM. The Novell Client brings the full

power, ease of use, manageability, and security of eDirectory to Linux workstations. The Novell

Client for Linux fully supports NetWare®, OES, and eDirectory services and utilities on a Linux

workstation, including security, file, and print services through Novell iPrint.

This section contains the following information:

Section 1.1, “Understanding How the Novell Client for Linux Differs from the Novell Client

for Windows 2000/XP,” on page 9

Section 1.2, “Understanding the Novell Client for Linux Virtual File System,” on page 10

1.1 Understanding How the Novell Client for

Linux Differs from the Novell Client for Windows

2000/XP

Using the Novell Client for Linux differs in a few ways from using the Novell Client for Windows*.

For users and network administrators who are familiar with the Novell Client for Windows,

knowing these differences can help the transition to Linux run more smoothly.

Installation and Upgrades

The Novell Client for Linux can be installed and upgraded using either YaST or an installation

script. For more information, see the “Novell Client 2.0 for Linux Installation Quick Start.”

There is no Automatic Client Upgrade available on Linux.

The Client Configuration Wizard lets you set up a configuration file that can be used to

preconfigure workstations during installation. For more information, see Section 2.2, “Using

Configuration Files to Preconfigure the Novell Client,” on page 20.

Logging In

When a user logs in to a local workstation and then opens a remote SSH session and logs in as

the same user, the network resources that user has rights to are available to the user.

The Novell Client for Linux can use the NMASTM login method to authenticate. However, the

NMAS login is not integrated in to the Novell Client for Linux login screen, so the default

The Novell Client for Linux uses OpenSLP, whereas the Novell Client for Windows uses

Novell’s implementation of SLP. The network administrator must set up OpenSLP before users

can look up trees, contexts, and servers using the Browse buttons in the Novell Client Login

window. If OpenSLP is not set up, the user must enter a username, tree, and context to connect

to the network. See Chapter 3, “Managing Login,” on page 23 for more information.

10 Novell Client 2.0 for Linux Administration Guide

novdocx (en) 26 August 2007

Because Linux uses OpenSLP, the implementation is different and the user’s experience is

different. For more information, see Section 3.4, “Using OpenSLP to Simplify Login,” on

page 27.

The Novell Client for Linux does not use the Dynamic Local User or Location Profiles that are

available in Windows.

User Interface

Both a graphical user interface and command line utilities are available to complete client actions

such as mapping drives, setting trustee rights, and copying files.

Novell has ported the vast majority of login script functionality to the Linux platform. This means

that the login scripts you create in your network can be used for both Windows users and Linux

users with very little difference in functionality.

Some differences do exist, however. For example, mapped drives are implemented by creating

symbolic links and search drives are not available on Linux. Other small differences are created by

the inherent difference between Windows and Linux. All the differences and issues are listed in the

Novell Login Scripts Guide.

1.2 Understanding the Novell Client for Linux

Virtual File System

The Novell Client for Linux differs from previous Novell Clients to enable it to work on the Linux

platform. In Windows, the Novell Client loads a single binary that works on multiple operating

system platforms without modifications. The Novell Client for Linux has a Virtual File System that

consists of a kernel module (novfs.ko) that runs as part of the Linux kernel and a daemon

(novfsd) that runs in the user space. Both components must be running on the workstation for the

client to connect to the network.

The daemon can run on any of the supported Linux platforms without modification. The kernel

module, however, is dependent on the kernel version and must be compiled to match the kernel on

the workstation. When the Novell Client is installed, it compiles the kernel module during the

installation process. If this process fails, the kernel module cannot load. It attempts to recompile

when the workstation is restarted.

1.2.1 Understanding When the Virtual File System Kernel

Module Needs to Be Compiled

The following is a list of the instances when you must compile the Novell Client Virtual File System

Kernel Module (novfs.ko):

You installed the Novell Client and received an error message. This generally occurs because

all the required packages are not installed on a workstation. You must install these packages,

compile the Novell Client Virtual File System Kernel Module (novfs.ko), and restart the

workstation. See “System Requirements” in the Novell Client for Linux Installation Quick Start

for more information.

You have previously compiled the Novell Client Virtual File System Kernel Module

(novfs.ko) and then made changes to the kernel.
