5 tristate "NCP file system support (to mount NetWare volumes)"
6 depends on IPX!=n || INET
7 help
8 NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
9 used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to
10 IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
11 to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
12 any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
13 <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
14 the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
15
16 You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a
17 file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.
18
19 General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
20 Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.
21
22 To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
23 ncpfs. Say N unless you are connected to a Novell network.

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070025config NCPFS_PACKET_SIGNING
26 bool "Packet signatures"
27 depends on NCP_FS
28 help
29 NCP allows packets to be signed for stronger security. If you want
30 security, say Y. Normal users can leave it off. To be able to use
31 packet signing you must use ncpfs > 2.0.12.
32
33config NCPFS_IOCTL_LOCKING
34 bool "Proprietary file locking"
35 depends on NCP_FS
36 help
37 Allows locking of records on remote volumes. Say N unless you have
38 special applications which are able to utilize this locking scheme.
39
40config NCPFS_STRONG
41 bool "Clear remove/delete inhibit when needed"
42 depends on NCP_FS
43 help
44 Allows manipulation of files flagged as Delete or Rename Inhibit.
45 To use this feature you must mount volumes with the ncpmount
46 parameter "-s" (ncpfs-2.0.12 and newer). Say Y unless you are not
47 mounting volumes with -f 444.
48
49config NCPFS_NFS_NS
50 bool "Use NFS namespace if available"
51 depends on NCP_FS
52 help
53 Allows you to utilize NFS namespace on NetWare servers. It brings
54 you case sensitive filenames. Say Y. You can disable it at
55 mount-time with the `-N nfs' parameter of ncpmount.
56
57config NCPFS_OS2_NS
58 bool "Use LONG (OS/2) namespace if available"
59 depends on NCP_FS
60 help
61 Allows you to utilize OS2/LONG namespace on NetWare servers.
62 Filenames in this namespace are limited to 255 characters, they are
63 case insensitive, and case in names is preserved. Say Y. You can
64 disable it at mount time with the -N os2 parameter of ncpmount.
65
66config NCPFS_SMALLDOS
67 bool "Lowercase DOS filenames"
68 depends on NCP_FS
69 ---help---
70 If you say Y here, every filename on a NetWare server volume using
71 the OS2/LONG namespace and created under DOS or on a volume using
72 DOS namespace will be converted to lowercase characters.
73 Saying N here will give you these filenames in uppercase.
74
75 This is only a cosmetic option since the OS2/LONG namespace is case
76 insensitive. The only major reason for this option is backward
77 compatibility when moving from DOS to OS2/LONG namespace support.
78 Long filenames (created by Win95) will not be affected.
79
80 This option does not solve the problem that filenames appear
81 differently under Linux and under Windows, since Windows does an
82 additional conversions on the client side. You can achieve similar
83 effects by saying Y to "Allow using of Native Language Support"
84 below.
85
86config NCPFS_NLS
87 bool "Use Native Language Support"
88 depends on NCP_FS
89 select NLS
90 help
91 Allows you to use codepages and I/O charsets for file name
92 translation between the server file system and input/output. This
93 may be useful, if you want to access the server with other operating
94 systems, e.g. Windows 95. See also NLS for more Information.
95
96 To select codepages and I/O charsets use ncpfs-2.2.0.13 or newer.
97
98config NCPFS_EXTRAS
99 bool "Enable symbolic links and execute flags"
100 depends on NCP_FS
101 help
102 This enables the use of symbolic links and an execute permission
103 bit on NCPFS. The file server need not have long name space or NFS
104 name space loaded for these to work.
105
106 To use the new attributes, it is recommended to use the flags
107 '-f 600 -d 755' on the ncpmount command line.
