Install Script Contains Fatal Error Messages But Still Installs Correctly
When running the installation script, two fatal error messages appear, but Novell Client for Linux
installs correctly. The errors are:
These messages will be rewritten in the future to avoid any confusion. They should be ignored in
version 1.0.
Login Issues
Integrated Login Not Provided
This version of Novell Client for Linux does not provide an integrated login experience with the
initial workstation login screen. Users who have migrated from Windows* desktops to Linux do
not have the same experience and must log in to the workstation and then log in to the network
using the Novell Client for Linux.
CN User Identifier Variable Displays the Wrong Information
If the CN user identifier variable is used in the login script, it displays the wrong information if the
Other Name field is filled in. This results in drive mappings not being made. Depending on how
the variable login script is used, errors might occur.
Supported MAP Command Login Script Syntax
The following is a sample of valid login script syntax for the MAP command:
map my_projects:=server/vol:path
map f:=server/vol/path
map f:=vol:path
map f:=vol:\path
map display on f:=server\vol:path
map display off f:=server\vol:path
map "my projects":=server/vol:path
map f:=\\server\vol\path
map *1:=server\vol:\path
TIP: Linux does not support backslashes on the command line. UNC names can be written with forward
slashes. For example, map f:=//server/vol/path
Map Command Differences from Windows Behavior
The MAP command works differently based on whether you run it from a login script or at the
command line. The following is a list of differences in how the MAP command behaves at the
command line in Linux versus how it works at the command line in Windows.
