Interesting, I'm probably close enough for no cigar. For most of the users their Unix username matches part of the name their authenticating to Novell with. Those usernames being 3 letters and 4 numbers, the 4th number is also in another spot in the Novell name. Finally, some users (faculty) usernames don't match and have a completely different Novell name. So far what I've come up with is to make a script (linked to an icon on people's desktops) that sees if NCPUSER is set (which they would in .bash_profile if their Unix name didn't match the beginning of their Novell name), and if not, set it to $USER. Then if NCPUSER is in the format of 3 letters and 4 numbers, grab that 4th number and make the one type of Novell name, and if it doesn't match, make the other. Then it runs Konq on the mount point, then finally ncpumounts (after Konq is closed). For passwords I figured I'd have it pop up a box and ask for it if it doesn't have it, then save it in a mode 600 dotfile in their homedir. Somewhat unrelated question, do you have your users use supermount (it has problems with CDs in 9.0 no?) or do you have them use desktop icons to mount/umount removable media?
