to compile and install, please read INSTALL !

|
This is a little try to emulate some functions from
|
||
|
|
a NOVELL-SERVER under UNIX (LINUX).
|
||
|
|
The first version I have written 1993 on a USL1.1
|
||
|
|
with TLI-Code.
|
||
|
|
1994 I have ported it to LINUX. This was easy, because
|
||
|
|
I only have to write a small TLI->SOCKET emu.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately I had no full description of the NCP-calls,
|
||
|
|
so many of the calls based on trying. :-(
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WARNING: this code has still many BUG's !!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BINDERY: this are the *.pag and *.dir files.
|
||
|
|
These files are generated by the first starting
|
||
|
|
of mars_nwe and are filled with the minimal
|
||
|
|
needed Objects and Properties.
|
||
|
|
USER is SUPERVISOR with no password.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NETWORK: If there is a real Novell-Server on the
|
||
|
|
same net-line, then the NETWORK Number of
|
||
|
|
the network device in nw.ini should match
|
||
|
|
the NETWORK Number of the Novell-Server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LINUX
|
||
|
|
KERNEL: the only linux-kernel depending files
|
||
|
|
are emutli.[hc].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
short description of the processes.
|
||
|
|
1) nwserv : the main program.Initiates all and starts 'ncpserv'.
|
||
|
|
sends broadcasts, wdogs, sap and rip packets.
|
||
|
|
If nwserv is started with a parameter, then the simple
|
||
|
|
test client 'nwclient', only for debugging, is started.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) ncpserv: opens NCP-Socket and handles NCP-Requests.
|
||
|
|
When there comes NCP-Request 0x1111 (Get Connection Nr)
|
||
|
|
then there will be started a new process 'nwconn'.
|
||
|
|
Every client-ncp-request reaches nwconn over
|
||
|
|
ncpserv.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3) nwconn: will be started for every connection. Is connected
|
||
|
|
to ncpserv with a pipe.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Problems and TODO:
|
||
|
|
Many:-(
|
||
|
|
Here is a short list.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o - Some Problems with the IPX-kernelcode.
|
||
|
|
Frame Ethernet_ii isn't ok since linux-kernel > 1.1.??.
|
||
|
|
with linux-kernel 1.1.44 is was still ok.
|
||
|
|
trouble with some linux-kernel 1.3.xx
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o - make routing better.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o - making printing better.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o - login's with password's.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o - clean the code !!!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o - make bindery code more complete.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o - and much more ...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Have luck with tryimg. :)

BTW: The kick to make mars_nwe public was the
|
||
|
|
publication of linware ( lwared ), the Novell-Server-Emulator
|
||
|
|
from Ales Dryak (A.Dryak@sh.cvut.cz).
|
||
|
|
I hope both products kann make profit from each other.
|
||
|
|
-----> SuperNOS ala Linux ;-)
|
||
|
|
Novell don't want to make it anymore. :-(
