RE: [TCLUG:1327] Novell -> Linux

[Ben Luey <lueyb@carleton.edu>]

Please help, it would be very nice to access my netware files on my own
computer.

I use redhat 5.1 and I downloaded Caldara's nwclient rpm package and
installed it. Now it runs on startup (via /etc/rc.d/init) but it gives me
these errors:

[root@pcLueyB /root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/nwclient start

nwclientd nwamd.                                      


When I try to login with nwlogin, I can't change the context: 

[root@pcLueyB /root]# nwlogin -t CARLETON
nwlogin: Default Context is `[Root]'.
Enter User(`root'): lueyb.l
nwlogin: Trying server context `OU=Fac.OU=Acad.O=Carleton'.
nwlogin: Connection refused for user `lueyb.l'.
[root@pcLueyB /root]#                         

In the man for nwlogin it says you can change the default context with the
environment variable NWCLIENT_DEFAULT_NAME_CONTEXT, but if I type
NWCLIENT_DEFAULT_NAME_CONTEXT=stu.acad.carleton  and run nwlogin again it
again tries OU=Fac.OU.Acad.O=Carleton which is wrong for my user account,
but the default on the tree (I assume)

Any ideas? I think the only problem is that my context is wrong. (slist
works fine)
