Maximum Results: Specify a 32-bit integer giving the maximum number of results toaccumulate and return for a synchronous request before the time-out, or the maximum numberof 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 rebootthe workstation for those changes to take effect.For more information, see Section 3.4, “Using OpenSLP to Simplify Login,” on page 27, SLPFundamentals (http://www.novell.com/documentation/edir873/qsedir873/data/aksciti.html), and theOpenSLP (http://www.openslp.org) Web site.2.2 Using Configuration Files to Preconfigurethe Novell ClientThe Novell Client for Linux allows you to apply preconfigured client settings contained in one ormore configuration (.conf) files. This option works similarly to the unattend file that can be usedto configure the Novell Client for Windows (see Creating the Configuring File (http://www.novell.com/documentation/noclienu/noclienu/data/bu01sei.html#hn62kppa) in the NovellClient for Windows Installation and Administration Guide for more information).Preconfiguring the Novell Client for Linux requires the novell-client-conf.spec file andthe 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 2.1, “Using the Novell Client Configuration Wizard,” on page 13.2 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: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.3a Make sure you are the root user.3b Enter the following in a terminal:Conf File Path and Name Configuration Settings/etc/opt/novell/ncl/file_browser.conf File browser settings/etc/opt/novell/ncl/login.conf Login settings/etc/novell/ncl/map.conf Map settings/etc/opt/novell/ncl/protocol.conf Protocol settings/etc/opt/novell/ncl/tray_app.conf Novell Client Tray Application settings/etc/slp.conf SLP configuration settings
