#
# This Perl script creates an NSS volume on a specified NSS pool.
# 
# This script has been designed to be run on Linux. 
# The API set can be downloaded from  http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Virtual_File_Services_for_NetWare. 
# 
# The Perl script requires the name of an existing NSS pool, and the name of the new volume to create.
# as input.  It requires that NSS be installed and an NSS pool be present.
