[K12OSN] How to mount a Netware volume

[Mike Lichtenwalner]

Hi Jon,

Funny you should ask...I'm building a new server for our high school as we
speak and it is being configured to authenticate against their Netware
server.

This is what I did to the K12LTSP server (v4.0.1) (this is basically an
excerpt from Guy Lessard's excellent documentation):

>From ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/ncpfs/ download latest ncpfs package.
Store in /opt/.pkg
Untar then ./configure, make, make install
# echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
# ldconfig
# ipx_configure -p on -i on
# echo "/usr/local/bin/ipx_configure -p on -i on" >> /etc/rc.local

chmod +s /usr/bin/ncpmount and ncpumount (to run suid for users)

All services use /etc/pam.d/system-auth for authentication. Modify that
file:
#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
auth        required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_env.so
auth        sufficient    /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok
auth        sufficient   /lib/security/pam_ncp_auth.so nullok use_first_pass
ndsserver=SERVER_NAME:ou=OU_NAME -d -L  -mMy_Server -u2000,4000,pn,gcds
-g2000,4000,pn
auth        required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so

account     required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so

password    required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 type=
password    sufficient    /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok
md5 shadow
password    required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so

session     required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_limits.so
session     required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so
session     optional     pam_ncp_auth.so

Students can now login to the terminals using their Netware
username/password and their Netware home directory appears as the folder
called "My_Server" inside of their Linux home directory.

Since the ncpfs package is installed, you can also print to Netware queues.

See ya!
Mike
