mars_nwe - Martin Stovers netware emulation
Copyright (C) 1993,1996 Martin Stover, Marburg, Germany
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. :-(
Help on how to compile and install can be found in `INSTALL'.
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.
The User SUPERVISOR must be described in the
nw.ini file, entry 12
"mars_nwe" is an attempt to emulate the basic functionality
of a netware-server under UNIX (Linux).
The first version was written 1993 on a USL1.1 with TLI-Code.
1994 I ported it to LINUX, which was easy because I only had
to write a small TLI->SOCKET emulation (see the modul
"emutli").
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.
Unfortunately I had no complete description of the NCP-calls,
so that the handling of many calls is based on experiments. :-(
LINUX
KERNEL: the only linux-kernel depending files
are emutli.[hc].
WARNING: this code still has many BUG's!
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.
BINDERY:
These are the *.pag and *.dir files.
They are generated by the first starting
of mars_nwe and are filled with the minimal
needed Objects and Properties.
The User SUPERVISOR must be described in the
nw.ini file, entry 12
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.
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.
3) nwconn: will be started for every connection. Is connected
to ncpserv with a pipe.
LINUX KERNEL:
the only linux-kernel depending files
are emutli.[hc].
Problems and TODO:
Many:-(
Here is a short list.
o - password changings from clients
o - make routing better.
o - making printing better.
o - clean the code !!!
o - make bindery code more complete.
o - and much more ...
Short description of the programs from this package:
----------------------------------------------------
nwserv:
the main program. Initiates all subsystems and
starts 'ncpserv'.
Sends broadcasts, wdogs, sap and rip packets.
If nwserv is started with the parameter 'y', then the simple
test client 'nwclient', only for debugging, is started.
Parameter '-k' is for stopping the actual running nwserv
and parameter '-h' for sending a HUP signal to the
running nwserv.
ncpserv:
opens NCP-Socket and handles NCP-Requests.
For every incoming NCP-Request 0x1111 (Get Connection Nr)
a new instance of 'nwconn' ist started.
Every client-ncp-request reaches nwconn over ncpserv.
nwconn:
started for every single connection. Communicates with
ncpserv over an ipx-socket.
nwbind:
the bindery program. Communicates with
ncpserv and nwconn over an ipx-socket.
Have luck with trying. :)

I hope both products can make profit from each other.
-----> SuperNOS ala Linux ;-)
Novell don't want to make it anymore. :-(
