[SLUG] Question on mars_nwe - NetWare Server Emulator for Unix/Linux

[Gonzalo Servat]

Hi All

I'm unfortunate enough to get stuck with a project to turn a Linux box into some sort of NetWare Server.

There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of options to accomplish this. From my research, I've only found mars_nwe & lwared and both seem to be abandoned projects.

Anyway, mars_nwe is supposed to work so I'll stick to that (plus it has a few more features than lwared -- if it worked!)

mars_nwe is not well documented so I was hoping someone who has used it could explain what sort of Novell client software I need to run to test it, and also a sample nwserv.conf file would be good too.

Also, they talk about "slist.exe" and "login.exe" programs that need to be in /etc/opt/SYS/login but I would imagine these programs come from the Novell software, which I have no access to.
The authors of mars_nwe provide a package called mars_dosutils which is a free alternative to slist.exe and login.exe, however, from google'ing around you need Borland C to compile the source code (another program I don't have).

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestion/pointers/abuse!

Regards,
Gonzalo.
