| 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. |

| 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 | |
| 33 | config 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 | |
| 40 | config 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 | |
| 49 | config 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 | |
| 57 | config 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 | |
| 66 | config 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 | |
| 86 | config 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 | |
| 98 | config 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. |
