Hello,
Currently I'm trying to determine a reasonable set of NetWare
utilities which should be included in the source tree.
ncplib isn't just a NetWare file system. It also provides services
similar to original NetWare client from Novell. Below I'll put a short
description for each utility. If you think that one of them shouldn't be
included in the source tree please let me know.
mount_nwfs - similar to mount_nfs
ncplogin - creates permanent connection to a NetWare server
without an actual mount,
ncplogout - destroy permanent connection,
ncplist - displays various information about client itself
and NetWare servers,
ncprint - allows to send job to NetWare printer,
ncpsend - sends message to NetWare user or server console,
ncplpd - simple NetWare print server,
ncpurge - purge specified salvagable files,
ncpsvc - remote control for a NetWare server,
ncpasswd - allows to change password for a NetWare user.
There also PAM module which allow to do authentication through
NetWare server. All utilities share same code which can be either linked
statically or dynamically via libncp.so.X library.
Next question is a 'where it will live ?' I think that userland
part should go in src/contrib/ncplib with appropriate makefiles in usr.bin
and usr.sbin. And kernel module can go into sys/contrib/[ncplib|nwfs].
This will help to keep sources in synch with original ncplib source tree.
I will appreciate all questions, suggestions and recommendations.
Thanks in advance.
