Man Page Issues - Novell CLIENT 1.0 FOR LINUX - README Manual

A patch for this defect will be posted. With this patch applied, a polling interval can be configured
to improve overall performance of file I/O using NCL.
Cannot See Cluster Virtual Server Objects
Users cannot see cluster virtual server objects through SLP from the Server button. To resolve this,
use the IP address instead of the server name.
Unable to Map Drive to Cluster %HOME_DIRECTORY Using SLP
When a user logs in and the login script specifies a %HOME_DIRECTORY value for the user on
a cluster server to point to a cluster volume, but the user does not specify a server in the server field
(because the user is relying on SLP to locate the cluster server), the drive mapping will fail.
To resolve this issue, specify the IP address in the server field.
Map Dialog Box Does Not Display Previously Mapped Resources
The Map dialog box drop-down list of drive letters does not display the resources that are already
mapped in the same way that Novell Client for Windows does (the Novell Client for Windows
displays the drive letter and then the server/volume information).
Without this information, users might map over an already mapped resource without knowing that
the drive is already in use. There is no current fix for this issue.
Extended (Swedish) Characters Are Not Displayed Correctly through Object Properties
Extended characters are mapped from workstation to server (and back again) incorrectly, resulting
in odd or even characters that cannot be displayed. This will be fixed with the next release.

Man Page Issues

Man Pages Included for Utilities Not Included
Man pages exist for the NWSEND, NWPURGE, and NWSALVAGE utilities. However, these
utilities were not included with version 1.0.
Manpath Issue Requires a Different Utility to Call Man Pages
There is a known bug related to the manpath environment variable on both NLD and SUSE
Professional. This has been reported to Novell/SUSE via Bugzilla. The ncl_man utility has been
provided for convenience until the manpath bug is resolved. You should invoke the ncl_man utility
(instead of traditional man) to view NCL-related man pages. To do this, type the following in a
terminal window the first time you want to view a Novell Client for Linux man page:
/opt/novell/ncl/bin/ncl_man
The ncl_man utility modifies the MANPATH to allow the Novell Client man pages to be
displayed. If you enter man Novell_Client_man_page_name, the following error is
displayed:
"No manual entry for Novell_Client_man_page_name."
If you enter ncl_man Novell_Client_man_page_name, the Novell Client man path is
added to MANPATH and the specified man page is displayed.
