Understanding the Novell Client
for Linux
The Novell
®
Client
TM
for Linux* software allows users of Linux workstations to access and use all
of the services available on servers running Novell eDirectory
TM
. The Novell Client brings the full
power, ease of use, manageability, and security of eDirectory to Linux workstations. The Novell
Client for Linux fully supports NetWare
®
, OES, and eDirectory services and utilities on a Linux
workstation, including security, file, and print services through Novell iPrint.

2.1 Understanding How the Novell Client for
Linux Differs from the Novell Client for Windows
2000/XP
Using the Novell Client for Linux differs in a few ways from using the Novell Client for Windows*.
For users and network administrators who are familiar with the Novell Client for Windows,
knowing these differences can help the transition to Linux run more smoothly.
Installation and Upgrades
• The Novell Client for Linux can be installed and upgraded using either YaST or an installation
script. For more information, see the “
Novell Client for Linux 1.2 Installation Quick Start
”
• There is no Automatic Client Upgrade available on Linux.
• The Client Configuration Wizard lets you set up a configuration file that can be used to
preconfigure workstations during installation. For more information, see
Section 3.2, “Using
Configuration Files to Preconfigure the Novell Client,” on page 22
.
Logging In
• When a user logs in to a local workstation and then opens a remote SSH session and logs in as
the same user, the network resources that user has rights to are available to the user.
• The Novell Client for Linux can use the NMAS
TM
login method to authenticate. However, the
NMAS login is not integrated in to the Novell Client for Linux login screen, so the default
login sequence cannot be set in the Novell Client Login screen.
• The Novell Client for Linux uses OpenSLP, whereas the Novell Client for Windows uses
Novell’s implementation of SLP. The network administrator
must
set up OpenSLP before users
can look up trees, contexts, and servers using the Browse buttons in the Novell Client Login
window. If OpenSLP is not set up, the user must enter a username, tree, and context to connect
to the network. See
Chapter 4, “Managing Login,” on page 25
for more information.
