mars_nwe - Martin Stovers netware emulation

Copyright (C) 1993,1997 Martin Stover, Marburg, Germany

Help on how to compile and install can be found in `INSTALL'.

"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 UnixWare 1.1 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").
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately I had no complete description of the NCP-calls,
|
|
so that the handling of many calls is based on experiments. :-(
|
|
|
|
WARNING: this code still has BUG's!
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
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 programs from this package:
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
nwserv:
|
|
the main program. Initiates all subsystems and
|
|
starts 'ncpserv' and 'nwbind'.
|
|
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. :)

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