<title>Installation of <application><acronym>NCPFS</acronym></application></title>

<para>Install <application><acronym>NCPFS</acronym></application> by running the following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix="" --includedir=/usr/include \
    --mandir=/usr/share/man --datadir=/usr/share &amp;&amp;
make &amp;&amp;
make install &amp;&amp;
make install-dev</userinput></screen>

</sect2>

<sect2>
<title>Command explanations</title>

<para><parameter>--prefix=""</parameter>:
installs binaries on the root partition so that they are available at
boot time.  This may not be ideal for all systems.  If
<filename class="directory">/usr</filename> is mounted locally,
<parameter>--prefix=/usr</parameter> may be a better option.</para>

<para><parameter>--includedir=/usr/include</parameter>: Tells configure
to look in <filename class="directory">/usr/include</filename> for header files.  It also
tells make to install <application>NCPFS</application>'s headers here.</para>

<para><parameter>--mandir=/usr/share/man</parameter>:  installs the man
pages in the correct location.</para>

<para><parameter>--datadir=/usr/share</parameter>:  correctly installs the 
locale files to <filename class="directory">/usr/share</filename>.</para>

<note><para>If you do not need to use the <acronym>IPX</acronym> protocol, or you use a different
<acronym>IPX</acronym> package, you can optionally pass <parameter>--disable-ipx</parameter>
and/or <parameter>--disable-ipx-tools</parameter> to the configure
script to disable these options.</para></note>

<title>Configuring <application>NCPFS</application></title>

<sect3><title>Config files</title>
<para><filename>~/.nwclient</filename></para>
</sect3>

<sect3><title>Configuration Information</title>

<para>A config file <filename>~/.nwclient</filename> should be placed
in the home directory of each user that intends to use <application>ncpfs</application>. The permissions on this file should be set to 600, for obvious 
security reasons.  The configuration file should contain a single line
per server that the user will use.  Each line should contain
the server name, the user name, and optionally the password.  Below is a
sample <filename>.nwclient</filename> file.</para>

<screen><userinput># Begin example <filename>~/.nwclient</filename> config file

Server1/User1 Password
Server2/User1 
Server2/Guest1 -

# End example .nwclient config file</userinput></screen>

<para>The syntax for the <filename>.nwclient</filename> file is simple,
<userinput>server_name/user_name password</userinput>.  Be extremely
careful when creating or editing this file as the client utilities are
very picky about syntax.  There should always be a space immediately
after the username.  If this space is substituted by a tab or multiple 
spaces, you will not get the expected results when attempting to use 
the <application>NCPFS</application> tools.  If no password is supplied, 
the client utilities will ask for a password when it is needed.  If no 
password is needed, for instance when using a guest account, a single '-' 
should be put in place of a password.</para>

<para>It should be noted that the ncpmount is not intended to mount
individual volumes because each mount point creates a separate client
connection to the Novell server.  Mounting each individual volume
separately would be unwise, as mounting all volumes on a server 
under one mount point uses only one client connection.</para>

<para>If you need to set up the <acronym>IPX</acronym> protocol at boot, 
you can install the
<filename>/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/services/ipx</filename> 
network service script included with the 
<xref linkend="intro-important-bootscripts"/> package.</para>

<screen><userinput><command>make install-service-ipx</command></userinput></screen>

<para>Next install the configurations script,
<filename>ifconfig.ipx0</filename>.  The configuration assumes 
<acronym>IPX</acronym> will be set up on 
<emphasis role="strong">eth0</emphasis>  
and the network frame type is 802.2.  You should confirm that these are 
the correct settings and adjust as necessary.</para>

<para><emphasis>Note</emphasis>: This will overwrite any existing file.</para>

<screen><userinput><command>cat &gt; /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.ipx0 &lt;&lt; "EOF"</command>
ONBOOT=yes
SERVICE=ipx
IPXDEV=eth0
FRAME=802.2
<command>EOF</command></userinput></screen>
