netware/novell emulator

1997-10-22 Thread Paul Miller
I think I saw a netware/novell emulator on redhat before I switched to
Debian.. what do I need to do to emulate netware? -- I decided this was
probably a better alternative to samba for my win95 clinets (because win95
will prompt for the username and password)..  I've already compiled my
kernel for IPX support.. but I didn't see any netware programs in
dselect..

Is it that you don't want win95 to prompt for the username and password,
or you want it to do so? I am using Samba and in the Windows 95 control
panel I set the login to be the network login. Then it prompts for the
username and password when logging in the user, and does not prompt again.

Note also that you can configure Samba to allow any user, and avoid the
prompts that way.

Thanks

I want it to... but only when connecting to shares... win95 prompts only
once at boot..  with novell you can specify a login name for the server
and not have to have the same name for both.  Yeah I could have win95
check a name server, but thats a hasle for those who don't connect to the
server.
