Novell Cool Solutions: Tip

Digg This - Slashdot This Posted: 1 Jun 2004

Here's a nifty little freebie that can help you keep tabs on your network usage. Bet you'll think of some great ways to use it.

List all the network workstations from which the user has logged in. The user's id, full name and the IP addresses of the workstations are all printed. The administrator has to specify a server that has LDAP running. In addition, a container must be set to query for users.

Usage: listaddrs.pl prv-nds1 ou=nts_server,ou=prv,o=novell

Setup: The administrator needs to ensure that the [Public] user has Read and Compare rights to the Network Address attribute.

Platforms: Tested on SUSE Linux 9.0 Professional and WinXP with the Perl package from www.activestate.com. It should work on any platform that supports Perl.

Address is 137.65.53.169
Address is 137.65.213.37

• I'm sure this is useful but can't get it to work
• "Tested on SUSE 9.0 and WinXP..." What does it have to do with NetWare ? This is NetWare Cool Solutions site by the way...
