18.9 Novell CIFS Implementation and Maintenance

To use the Novell implementation of CIFS file services on your OES 2 server, you must install the service by using the instructions in the OES 2 SP3: Installation Guide (for a new installation) or install it after the initial OES installation, as explained in Installing and Configuring a CIFS Server through YaST in the OES 2 SP3: Novell CIFS for Linux Administration Guide.

18.9.1 Implementing Novell CIFS File Services

NOTE:If you are new to OES, we recommend the OES 2 SP3: Getting Started with OES 2 and Virtualized NetWare for an introduction to creating and working with eDirectory objects and OES 2 file services, including Novell CIFS.

All eDirectory users can access the CIFS file services on an OES 2 server as they would any Windows workgroup server.

For instructions on implementing Novell CIFS, see Planning and Implementing CIFS in the OES 2 SP3: Novell CIFS for Linux Administration Guide.

18.9.2 Maintaining Novell CIFS File Services

Information on maintaining your CIFS installation is found in the OES 2 SP3: Novell CIFS for Linux Administration Guide.
