File Services 201novdocx (en) 22 June 200917.6.1 The Default NCP VolumeThe NCP Server for OES enables NCP access to NCP and NSS volumes defined on the OES 2server. When you install the NCP server, the installation creates one NCP volume named SYS: thatmaps to the /usr/novell/sys folder on the OES server.This NCP volume contains LOGIN and PUBLIC directories that, in turn, contain a small subset of thefiles traditionally found on a NetWare server in the directories with the same names.17.6.2 Creating NCP Home and Data Volume PointersInitially, there are no NCP home directories or data volumes available to Novell Clients that attachto an OES 2 server.For existing eDirectory users: If you want users to have NCP home or data directories on theserver, you must decide where you want these directories to reside on the server’s partitions and thencreate NCP volumes by using the NCPCON utility at the terminal prompt.For example, if you wanted to create an NCP volume (pointer) named HOME and mount it to the /usrfolder on the Linux server, you would enter the following command at the command prompt:ncpcon create volume HOME /usrAfter issuing this command, when a Novell Client attaches to the OES 2 server, the HOME: volumeappears along with the SYS: volume created by the installation.For new eDirectory users: If you create an NCP or NSS volume on the server prior to creatingusers, then you have the option of specifying that volume in iManager as the location of the homedirectory for the new users.IMPORTANT: NCP Volume pointers are always created with uppercase names (HOME:, SYS:, etc.)regardless of the case specified when the volume pointers are created.17.6.3 Assigning File Trustee RightsYou can use the same methods for assigning file trustee rights on NCP volumes on OES 2 serversthat you use when assigning them on NetWare. For example, the Novell Client can be used byanyone with the Access Control right on the volume, or the root user can use the ncpcon utility >rights command at a command prompt to administer NCP trustee rights. See “Managing FileSystem Trustees, Trustee Rights, and Attributes on NCP Volumes”in the OES 2 SP2: NCP Serverfor Linux Administration Guide. (The ncpcon rights command is related to but not the same as therights utility used to manage trustees on NSS volumes.)17.6.4 NCP CaveatsStarting with OES 2 SP2, cross-protocol file locking (CPL) is enabled by default on all new serverswith NCP installed. For more information, see Section 1.3.5, “Cross-Protocole File LockingChange,” on page 20.
