- nwfs - NetWare File System
-
-
- DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
- nnnnwwwwffffssss is the NetWare File System which is used to access remote NetWare
- servers. Since the NetWare protocol depends on IPX, the iiiippppxxxx driver must
- be loaded before a user can log into a NetWare server using nnnnwwwwllllooooggggiiiinnnn Once
- a user is logged in, the file systems on NetWare servers can be accessed
- according to the NetWare access privilidges for the logged in user.
-
- The NetWare system contains:
-
- 1. IPX/SPX stack
- 2. NetWare file server
- 3. NetWare client
-
- 1. IPX/SPX features include:
-
- 1. Loadable streams drivers (no need to relink the kernel)
- 2. TLI/TPI interface
- 3. Can work with multiple interfaces
- 4. Routing to different networks.
-
- It is capable of automatically detecting the ethernet framing type
- used on the network. It also detects the network number of the
- network. This is possible only if a netware file-server is available
- on the network.
-
- The framing types supported are:
-
- 1. Ethernet_8023
- 2. Ethernet_II (Type 8137)
- 3. Ethernet_802.2
- 4. Ethernet_Snap
-
-
- 2. NetWare file server features include:
-
- 1. Multiple simultaneous users
- 2. Full support for the bindery
- 3. NetWare Q's
- 4. Printing to the server printers
- 5. Netware 4.x server emulation
-
-
- 3. NetWare client features include:
-
- 1. Auto mount capability (file servers are mounted as they are
- used) (no need for explicitly mount - thus users do not
- require root priveleges)
- 2. The permission of different users are controlled on the

- netware server, and are applied to individual users on the
- client. Thus different individuals on the client get
- different views of the same netware file system.
- 3. Printing to the netware server/print queues
- 4. Mapping between unix and netware users.
- 5. Netware password encryption fully supported.
- 6. Loaded as file system type in the kernel.
-
- This piece gives user the capability of accessing files on a netware
- server. For doing this the user must first be logged into the netware
- server. This is done thru the nwlogin program. Also the program
- nwmount must be run. This effectively makes /netware as the mount
- point for all servers [or any other specifed directory]. All servers
- can be viewed in the /netware directory.
-
- eg.
- % ls /netware
- mango telos_nt tardis
- [The above are all netware servers]
-
- Once a user is logged into one of these servers (using the nwlogin
- command) then the volumes on that server become visible.
-
- eg.
- % nwlogin mango joe
- Password: <Enter-password for user joe on server mango>
- % cd /netware/mango
- % ls
- SYS USER
- [Two volumes SYS, and USER are shown]
- % ls SYS
- login public system mail err.log
- [4 directories, and 1 file are shown]
-
- The directories and files can be accessed as though they were local
- much like NFS. However the NetWare server still controls the access
- to the the files, by applying the priveleges of the logged in user
- (joe in this case) for each request.
