17.1 Client Access

NCP clients can access a merged view of data on the shadow volume through the normal NCP Server.

Novell CIFS clients can access a merged view of data on shadow volumes built with NSS volumes. Novell CIFS leverages the NCP Server cache.

All the Active Directory users can now access the data on DST volumes via CIFS.

Novell AFP does not support DST.

Linux SMB/CIFS clients can access a merged view of data on a shadow volume through Novell Samba used with ShadowFS and FUSE. These users must be Linux-enabled through Linux User Management.

Novell FTP clients can access a merged view of data on a shadow volume through Novell FTP used with ShadowFS and FUSE. Novell FTP is Pure-FTPd modified to work with eDirectory. These users must be Linux-enabled through Linux User Management.

Other native Linux client protocols such as FTP, HTTP, and NFS are not supported.
