Table 3-1 identifies settings for the OES 2 Linux server that are used as the default settings for NCP Server at install time, and are written to the /etc/opt/novell/ncpserv.conf file. This file specifies parameters that enable file systems on Linux to be available to workstations that connect to it via the Novell Client or the Microsoft NCP Client. It helps enforce the Novell trustee model of file access for NCP users and CIFS/Samba users.
You can change the settings for these parameters as needed to ensure that workstations on the network can access the server. If you later modify the settings for the server, you must re-configure them for NCP Server, too.

NCP Server for Linux can be installed during the OES 2 Linux installation. For general install instructions, see the OES 2 SP3: Installation Guide.
During the YaST install, on the
page, click to view details.Select
option from the OES options.When you select
, the following additional options are automatically selected:
If you plan to use NSS volumes, select
from the options.IMPORTANT:In the initial release, DST shadow volumes are supported only for Novell Storage Services volumes.
If you plan to provide access for CIFS/Samba users to NSS volumes on Linux, NCP volumes on Linux POSIX file systems, or DST shadow volumes, select
from the options.Optionally select
from the options.You must install Novell iManager somewhere in your network, but it is not necessary to install it on every server.
If you plan to configure NSS volumes on Linux, NCP volumes on Linux POSIX file systems, or DST shadow volumes on a cluster node, select
from the options.Click
to continue with the installation.You can optionally install NCP Server for Linux at any time after the initial OES 2 Linux install. Make sure to select the following options, just as you would for a new install:
(This is required only when installing NCP Server on a cluster node.)
(If it is not installed on this server, you must install iManager 2.7 somewhere in the network.)
(This is required only for CIFS/Samba users.)
(This is required only where you are planning to use NSS volumes on Linux.)
