Networks

If you have the client installed you should have the famous RED N in your system tray. Just right click it and select MAP network drive.

Other than that, you will need to create a custom login script to have them mapped upon login.

Did you look at Ximian Linux for Novell too? XD2 desktop is a little easier to manage, my users find.

I have the novelclient installed for Linux.
It is not the Novell client.
Does Linux have a system tray?

Sorry I was thinking of Ximian Linux Desktop for Novell (XD2). It's all pretty like Wondoze but it actually works.

I have downloaded the Ximian desktop.
It is pretty but I still can't map a drive.
One of the sysops at Novell told me that Linux doesn't recognize drive letters.
It's funny to me that I am supposed to convert all my users over to UNC so that I can run Linux on the desktop. What is Novell thinking....

That's pretty bizarre! I setu a fair number of XD2's and have never noticed that, mind you I run a larger MS network so I may be just be having a brain fart. I know Linux doesn't actually map but i thought XD2 had an emulator that creates volume groups (pretty much the same as mapping).

I'll have to reread that one when I get back I guess.

(The worst part is I'm an MCNE!?!) Although prior to Novell/Ximian. Sorry bout that.
