D.1 Setting up Samba on OES

In order to access the GroupWise client software on a Linux server, you can set up a Samba share to the client folder, either in the downloaded GroupWise 18 software or in the software distribution folder, if you have created one on the Linux server.

D.1.1 Configuring NetWare Core Protocol (NCP)

To configure NetWare Core Protocol:

In a terminal window on the OES server, become root by entering su - and the root password.
Enter the following command to create the NCP volume:
```
ncpcon create volume volume_name /folder
```
1. Replace volume_name with a unique name for the location of the GroupWise client software.
2. Replace folder with the full path to the GroupWise client software, for example:
```
/opt/novell/groupwise/software/client
```
Verify that the volume has been created:
```
more /etc/opt/novell/ncpserv.conf
```
The new volume should be listed at the end of the NCP server configuration file.
Restart the Micro Focus eDirectory daemon:
```
rcndsd restart
```
Continue with Installing Samba.
