Maximum Results: Specify a 32-bit integer giving the maximum number of results to
accumulate and return for a synchronous request before the time-out, or the maximum number
of results to return through a callback if the request results are reported asynchronously.
If you make changes to the Service Location Protocol (OpenSLP) Settings page, you must reboot
the workstation for those changes to take effect.
For more information, see Section 3.4, “Using OpenSLP to Simplify Login,” on page 27 , SLP
Fundamentals (http://www.novell.com/documentation/edir873/qsedir873/data/aksciti.html) , and the
OpenSLP (http://www.openslp.org) Web site.
2.2 Using Configuration Files to Preconfigure
the Novell Client
The Novell Client for Linux allows you to apply preconfigured client settings contained in one or
more configuration (
.conf
) files. This option works similarly to the unattend file that can be used
to configure the Novell Client for Windows (see Creating the Configuring File (http://
www.novell.com/documentation/noclienu/noclienu/data/bu01sei.html#hn62kppa) in the Novell
Client for Windows Installation and Administration Guide for more information).
Preconfiguring the Novell Client for Linux requires the
novell-client-conf.spec
file and
the
make_novell-client-conf_rpm
Bash script located in the
/add-on/novell-
client-conf
subdirectory in the directory where you unarchived the Client download file.
1 Create the preconfigured settings using the Novell Client Configuration Wizard.
See
Section 2.1, “Using the Novell Client Configuration Wizard,” on page 13 .
2 Copy the appropriate
.conf
files to the
/add-on/novell-client-conf
directory.
Depending on the settings you preconfigured, copy one or more of the following files:
3 Run the
make_novell-client-conf_rpm
script to create a
novell-client-conf-
version_number . platform .rpm
file (for example,
novell-client-conf-
1.0.0-0.i586.rpm
) using all of the
.conf
files contained in the
/add-on/novell-
client-conf
directory.
