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. -- Boris Popov http://www.butya.kz/~bp/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
