Hi all,

I am running 10.2 with an RT kernel for digital audio.
The client from Novell does not work with the RT
kernel (The version 2 client which is in public beta
works fine with a standard Suse kernel on 10.2) After
exchanging emails with the maintainer of the novfs
package, it sounded like it just wasn't going to work.
I had the kernel-source, kernel-syms, and kernel all
at the same version and installation would fail on the
compile of novfs.
It seemed like the time had come to move on and I am
trying to get the ncpfs PAM plugin to work. It is
supposed to be able to create a local account on the
fly and mount the users's home directory from an NCP
server (edirectory on Linux in this case).
I have been trying to follow these HowTos:
http://www.k12ltsp.org/mediawiki/index.php/InterOperability:NovellAuthenticationforK12LTSP
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/appnote/6019.html
The problem is that they were written for Red
Hat/Fedora and the PAM configuration is different.
Files are referred to that don't exist on Suse in
/etc/pam.d. I don't know what to do with the PAM
configuration. Does anyone have any ideas? i emailed
the ncpfs package maintainer and he said that he
wasn't that familiar with Suse and couldn't help me on
the specifics of PAM.
Ideally I would like to have this be as seamless as
possible for the end users. This is for a middle
school classroom that is moving to Suse on the
desktop.
Thanks.

Dave
