See Section 11.10, Macintosh Exercises and Novell AFP.

Novell CIFS

Can access any NSS directories to which it has rights.

Access rights to directories are governed by the NSS file system, allowing the user to only see and do what it has rights for.

NetStorage

Can access NetStorage because of the Storage Location Object created in Section 10.2.2, Creating a Storage Location Object in iManager. Otherwise, this user would not have access to its home directory because it was created manually as a POSIX directory rather than being specified in iManager.

Yes

iPrint

Can install and use the printer made available in Section 9.0, iPrint.

Yes

11.3.2 Using NetStorage

  1. Log in to the Windows workstation as the linux2_lum-edir user.

  2. When the iFolder wizard launches, click Cancel.

  3. Open your browser and log into NetStorage by using the following URL:

    http://IP or DNS/netstorage

    where IP or DNS is your OES 2 server’s IP address or DNS name.

  4. Type linux2_lum-edir as the User Name, type the associated password in the Password field, then click OK.

  5. Click the Linux_Home_Directories storage location you created in Section 10.2.2, Creating a Storage Location Object in iManager.

  6. In the left navigation frame, click linux2_lum-edir.

  7. Right-click the file in the right frame and notice that you can move, copy, download, delete, and rename the file through the NetStorage interface.

  8. Select Delete.

  9. Click OK.

    The file is deleted.

    Although the file was actually owned by the linux1_lum-edir user who copied it to the folder, linux2_lum-edir can delete the file because the LUMUsers group has the Write right on the folder.

    For a brief overview of what the different POSIX rights allow on directories and files, see Linux (POSIX) File System Access Rights in the OES 2 SP2: Planning and Implementation Guide.

  10. Click View > Show Deleted Files.

    The deleted file is not listed because this feature relies on the Salvage and Purge functionality that is available only on NSS volumes, and the underlying file system for the /home directory we are working with is Reiser.

  11. Click File > Upload.

  12. Click the Browse button, browse to the Shared Documents folder, select the first file, and click Open.

  13. Click the plus (+) sign next to Browse, and then repeat the same process to select and open the other three files.

  14. Click the Upload button.

    All four files should now be copied to the linux2_lum-edir directory.

11.3.3 Using iPrint

  2. (Conditional) If you have not previously installed the iPrint client on the workstation, click the Install iPrint Client link and install the client now.

  3. Click the link for the printer you created in Section 9.6, Creating iPrint Printer Objects.

    You might need to click the Refresh button to see the printers.
