MARS_NWE does **not** work with the classic Mac client, because that client requires NDS from NetWare 4.x or newer, which MARS_NWE does not implement.
|
||||
|
||||
## NetWare DOS and OS/2 Utilities
|
||||
|
||||
MARS_NWE itself only includes the bare minimum needed to log in and map drives on DOS. If you want additional tools such as `flag` or `ncopy`, you can use the **NetWare DOS Client Kit v3.01** from 1990, which Novell later made freely available. The original README points to the following page and notes `DSWIN3.ZIP` and `DSWIN4.ZIP` as useful archives:
|
||||
|
||||
- <http://www.zx.net.nz/netware/client/dos-netx.shtml>
|
||||
|
||||
These DOS utilities would normally live in:
|
||||
|
||||
`/var/mars_nwe/SYS/public/`
|
||||
|
||||
For OS/2, some client kits include updated 16-bit OS/2 utilities, usually on the `OS2UTIL` disks, which can help fill some of the gaps. The four executables `attach`, `login`, `map`, and `slist` should go in:
|
||||
|
||||
`/var/mars_nwe/SYS/login/OS2/`
|
||||
|
||||
The remaining OS/2 utilities should go in:
|
||||
|
||||
`/var/mars_nwe/SYS/public/OS2/`
|
||||
|
||||
For other tools such as **SYSCON**, you may still need an original copy of NetWare 3.11 or 3.12.
|
||||
|
||||
## Managing Users and Login Scripts
|
||||
|
||||
For NetWare 3.x style servers, user and login script management would normally be done with the DOS **SYSCON** utility. MARS_NWE does not include a replacement for that tool, and the original Novell version is likely out of bounds unless you already hold a valid NetWare 3 license.
|
||||
|
||||
One possible alternative is **WnSyscon**, a 16-bit Windows SYSCON replacement:

||||

|
||||

and the shareware version could be downloaded from:
|
||||
|
||||
- <https://ftp.zx.net.nz/pub/archive/novell/3rdparty/admin/wnsyscon/>
|
||||
|
||||
The shareware version was described as being fully functional aside from a few nag screens. Unfortunately, obtaining a properly registered version today may require owning a legitimate NetWare 3.2 copy, unless the original author can still be contacted somehow.
