Using Configuration Files To Preconfigure The Novell Client - Novell CLIENT FOR LINUX 1.1 Installation And Administration Manual

If the network does not contain a DA, IP servers must use their own SAs to specify the services
that are available. If the SA does not support multicasting and if there are any services
advertised by that SA that are needed by the UA on this machine, then use the Broadcast Only
option.
Broadcasting has the disadvantage of being limited to the local LAN segment.
• Maximum Results: Specify a 32-bit integer giving the maximum number of results to
accumulate and return for a synchronous request before the time-out, or the maximum number
of results to return through a callback if the request results are reported asynchronously.
If you make changes to the Service Location Protocol (OpenSLP) Settings page, you must reboot
the workstation for those changes to take effect.

3.2 Using Configuration Files to Preconfigure
the Novell Client
The Novell Client for Linux allows you to apply preconfigured client settings contained in one or
more configuration (.conf) files. This option works similar to the unattend file that can be used to
configure the Novell Client for Windows (see
www.novell.com/documentation/noclienu/noclienu/data/bu01sei.html#hn62kppa)
Client for Windows Installation and Administration Guide for more information).
Preconfiguring the Novell Client for Linux requires the novell-client-conf.spec file and
the make_novell-client-conf_rpm Bash script located in the /add-on/novell-
client-conf subdirectory in the directory where you unarchived the Client download file.
1 Create the preconfigured settings using the Novell Client Configuration Wizard.
See Section 3.1, "Using the Novell Client Configuration Wizard," on page
2 Copy the appropriate .conf files to the /add-on/novell-client-conf directory.
Depending on the settings you preconfigured, copy one or more of the following files:
Conf File Path and Name
/etc/opt/novell/ncl/login.conf
/etc/opt/novell/ncl/protocol.conf
/etc/opt/novell/ncl/file_browser.conf
/etc/opt/novell/ncl/tray_app.conf
/etc/slp.conf
3 Run the make_novell-client-conf_rpm script to create a novell-client-conf-
version_number.platform.rpm file (for example, novell-client-conf-
1.0.0-0.i586.rpm) using all of the .conf files contained in the /add-on/novell-
client-conf directory.
