In my business, i have a server with Novell, and 2 computers running Windows 98, and pluged with the server. Can i replace Novell with Samba(Linux)?
RE: [newbie] samba-novell
If you have no Novell dependant software, yes. There are a few applications which rely on Novell's bindery to function properly. If you don't known anything about this, you probably have none. Linux Mandrake also has MARS-NWE which is a pretty good Novell Emulator for Linux. It emulates a Novell 3.11 server. It's a pretty good simulation/emulation and includes limited binder support. Using Samba is more like migrating to NT. Samba uses a form of Microsoft Networking protocols. (no stones from the peanut gallery please...) ... which runs on TCP/IP. Mars-NWE uses IPX, just like Netware. Microsoft's Netware client thinks it's talking to a Novell Server, if you've set up a Linux/Mars host... You could also install both, and have Linux function as both types of servers at the same time... -JMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Leonidas Papadopoulos Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2001 5:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] samba-novell In my business, i have a server with Novell, and 2 computers running Windows 98, and pluged with the server.

Re: [newbie] samba-novell
Actually, unless you are stuck with Novell for some specific requirement, get rid of it and switch to Linux-Mandrake 7.2. Use the normal version, and install for a server. Or download Mandrake 7.2 Corp Server. It even has a neat setup wizard that will take care of may of your basic requirments. It "Auto-Launches" at the first desktop after install. Kinda handy. Just ask Dan Belkie!

I'd lose the SFTIII (mirrored failover servers); I'd lose the Zen (that software install from server is NICE); the directory support is not nearly as complete. -- -- Michael J.
