mount_nwfs(8)

NAME

     mount_nwfs -- mount NetWare volume from a NetWare file server

SYNOPSIS

     mount_nwfs [-Chv] -S server -U user [-connection options] -V volume
		[-M mode] [-c case] [-d mode] [-f mode] [-g gid] [-l locale]
		[-n os2] [-u uid] [-w scheme] node
     mount_nwfs [-options] /server:user/volume[/path] node

DESCRIPTION

     The mount_nwfs utility allows to mount volume from a NetWare server.  It
     may use either existing connection or create new: if no usable connection
     was found it will try to establish a new one.  Connection has count of
     references to it, so when last mount will be dismounted connection will
     be closed.  It is possible to create connection without any mounts (but
     use it for them) with ncplogin(1).

     Note two forms of command line.  In the first form, server and user spec-
     ified via -S and -U options respectively.	In the second form server and
     user specified in special part of mount(8) command line arguments (the
     -S, -U and -V options aren't used in this case).  This allows use of
     fstab(5) file (see EXAMPLES below).

     The options are:

     -S server
	     Name of NetWare server to connect.  For native IP you will need
	     also -A option.

     -U user
	     Name of user used in login sequence.

     -connection options
	     See ncplogin(1) for details.

     -V volume
	     Volume name to mount.  Volume name can also be specified after
	     all options and before mount-point.

     node    Path to mount volume.

     -c case
	     Select a case option which affects on name representation.  Case
	     can be one of the following:

	     Value    Meaning

	     l	      All existing file names converted to lower case.	Newly
		      created file gets a lower case under OS2 name space.
		      This is the default when mounting volumes with DOS name
		      space.

	     L	      Same as 'l' but file system tries to be case insensi-
		      tive.  May not work well.

	     n	      No case conversion is performed.	Warning!  Use this
		      option with DOS name space only as a last resort,
		      tive.  May not work well.

     -f mode, -d mode
	     Specify permissions that should be assigned to files and directo-
	     ries.  The values must be specified as octal numbers.  Default
	     value for the file mode is taken from mount point, default value
	     for the dir mode adds execute permission where the file mode
	     gives read permission.

	     Note that these permissions can differ from the rights granted by
	     NetWare server.

     -n namespace
	     Don't use namespace.  Currently only OS2 can be here.

     -v      Print version number.

     -u uid, -g gid
	     User id and group id assigned to files.  The default is owner and
	     group id from directory where volume is mounted.

     -l locale
	     Set the locale for case conversion.  By default mount_nwfs tries
	     to use an environment variable LC_*.

     -w scheme
	     Select a scheme used to convert file names between NetWare and
	     FreeBSD.  Supported conversion schemes are:

	     asis	Characters passed as is without any alteration.

	     koi2cp866	koi8-r <-> CP866

	     se 	Suits for setups used in Sweden.

     -M mode
	     See ncplogin(1) for details.  If this option is omitted, connec-
	     tion permissions assumed the same as directory mode (-d) option.

FILES

     ~/.nwfsrc	    keeps static parameters for connections and other informa-
		    tion.  See /usr/share/examples/nwclient/dot.nwfsrc for
		    details.

NOTES

     Before any NCP connection can be established kernel must be configured
     for IPX support, IPXrouted and KLD nwfs.ko should be loaded.

EXAMPLES

     Next examples illustrates how to connect to NetWare server nwserv as user
     GUEST and mount volumes SYS and VOL1:

	   mount_nwfs -S nwserv -U guest -V sys /nw/s1/sys
	   mount_nwfs /nwserv:guest/sys /nw/s1/sys
	   mount -t nwfs /nwserv:guest/vol1 /nw/s1/vol1
	   mount -t nwfs /nwserv:boris/sys/home/boris /home/boris/nw/home

     The last example mounts only subdirectory on a volume and equivalent to
     The mount_nwfs utility first appeared in FreeBSD 4.0.
