LWARED(8)

NAME
lwared - provide NetWare services to clients (LinuxWare server)

SYNOPSIS
lwared [-d<debug_level>] [-n<name>] [-p<port>]

DESCRIPTION
Lwared is a server that implements a subset of NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) services. The server provides file and message services to NetWare clients. Each user account on the server must correspond to unix account with the same username. Permissions for file and directory operations are derived from the unix account. Because of different password encryption schemes in unix and NetWare, aditional password database must be kept for the server (see lwpasswd(5) ).
 Filesystems resources accessible via lwared are described in the volume table lwvtab(5).
 Before lwared is started IPX kernel routing table must be filled statically ( ipxbind(8), ipxroute(8) ) or dynamically ( ipxbind(8), ipxripd(8) ) and SAP agent ( ipxsapd(8) ) must be running.

OPTIONS
-d<debug_level>
    debug_level is an integer from -1 to 4 (default value is 2, if not specified). The higher is the value, the more details will be logged about the activities of the server. Level 2 is a reasonable value for day to day purposes. Levels under 2 logs only serious errors and levels above 2 generate huge amounts of log data. Level -1 disables logging.
-n<name>
    name of the server is a non-case sensitive string (up to 64 characters). The server will apper under this name in the server list. If not specified, the server name is determined from hostname.
-p<port>
    port is a positive integer value (default value is 0x451, if not specified). This number is the port number (IPX socket) that will be used for listening for client requests.

EXAMPLE
lwared -d1 -nlinux -p0x743
    Starts the server, debug level is 1 (only errors are logged), name of the server is 'LINUX' and the server will listen for requests on port 0x743.

SIGNALS
The following signals are handled by lwared. SIGINT
    The signal is simply ignored.
SIGTERM,SIGHUP
    Server notifies currently logged-in users that is going down, waits for about ten seconds and exits.

FILES
/etc/lwpasswd
/etc/lwvtab
/var/adm/lware.log

BUGS
A lot of NCP functions are unimplemented. The server cooperates well with DOS and Windows using NETX or VLM NetWare shells, but there are problems with Windows NT and Windows 95 clients. Misbehaving clients may cause server crash (not everything is checked now). The server can run out of file descriptors. Filename mangling is not implemented.
