TCL/Tk ncpfs graphical client for NDS

ndshome.tcl

Purpose:

Silently open a KDE2 explorer window in user's Netware home directory. If user is not yet authenticated, it will popup the ndslogin.tcl window.

Requirements:

ncpfs version 2.2 installed and operational (slist) on the Linux box.
For common features on these utilities (installation, configuration, translations...), see ndscommon.tcl

Usage:

It accept a tree name as a command line parameter. If absent it will pick up the first connection to Netware you have done using ncplogin or ncpmount and fetch the Netware home location from this connection.

Another way:

Here most users are authenticated by the PAM module and Netware home is locally mounted in /mnt/ncp/$USER/nwhome directory ( by using options -zA -l -mnwhome of the PAM module).
So a simple way to access this home is to create a symbolic link to the mounting point in user's $HOME. We do it by the following lines inserted in /usr/local/bin/zenscript0.

#!/bin/sh
#zenscript0
#run at session opening by pam_ncp_auth.so for a new acccount
# standard heading
#run with user permissions
source $1/$2

#create a link in user's home  to the real mount point of his Netware home (the mount point is the same on every workstation)

[ ! -e $1/nwhome ] && ln -s $NDS_HOME_MNT_PNT $1/nwhome

And on every new student Desktop we copy(from /etc/skel/Desktop) a icon (a big red N) and a link to a KDE application with the following command line:

Exec=kfmclient openURL '$HOME/nwhome'

Download:

ndshome.tcl in included in contrib/tcl directory of current ncpfs.
just recursively copy this directory somewhere (/usr/local/bin ?) and don't forget to copy and edit ndsclient.conf to /etc
