Netwhere Client for Linux

From Developer Community

The Netwhere Client for Linux provides full access to Novell Netware servers using MARS-NWE, IPXUTILS and NCPFS.

The program is based upon James Leone's post called: Netware Client for Linux Solution at computing.net

This is a fully functional Netware Client for Linux that can dependably log into all versions of Netware running IPX.

It is designed to work with RPM (Red Hat) and Apt-get (Debian) based installation systems. The software is light on bandwidth as the zip file is only 29.9 KB.

Mars NWE seems to provide some NDS services as well, which will allow a user to log into a Netware server when previously unsucessful with other methods. The installation is fully automated. However, users of Apt-get based systems are able to download the necessary packages automatically as well. There are plans to do the same for RPM packages.

The Netwhere Client for Linux is an English version of the Nubell GUI front end found here: http://masterjg.8m.com/nubell However, Netwhere goes beyond supplying a GUI front end. The installation package has been modified from its original form, which was partially written by Ken Conrad of Novel.

The installation script retrieves or advises the user to retrieve all of the necessary packages that will log the user into a Netware server. The GUI provides the user with a clear indication of his login status as well as a familiar look to the login process.
