Description Need Real Name 2000-11-14 22:53:25 UTC
When attempting to mount a volume on a netware 5.1 server with ncpfs 
version 2.2.0.18 (via ncpmount -v), I get the following:

[robertcn@thirdspace robertcn]$ ncpmount -U<username> -S<server> nds/
Logging into <server> as <user>
Password:
ncpmount: No referrals (-634) in nds login
Login denied.

If, however, I log into the same server from a 6.2 box running ncpfs 
version 2.2.0.12 (via ncpmount -v), it works fine.

I haven't tried back reving the package, but I would rather not do so if 
not completely necessary.

Thanks

Ooops.  The version of Redhat that the ncpfs wasn't broken on was a 6.0 box.

I've just run into this exact error, and worked-around the problem.  
On our network 7.1 users could not connect to some of the Netware
shares/servers.  6.1 users could connect to all.    
The problem exists in 7.1, but not in 6.1.  I'm not sure about 6.2 or 7.0.

So a work-around is to revert to the version of ncpfs that was in RedHat 6.1:

1. Download ncpfs-2.2.0.16.a-1.src.rpm from
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/6.1/en/os/i386/SRPMS/

2. As superuser:
rpm -e ncpfs-2.2.0.18-3
rpm --rebuild ncpfs-2.2.0.16.a-1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
rpm -ivh ncpfs-2.2.0.16.a-1.i386.rpm

Redhat: It would be great to have this fixed in a future release.  And perhaps
an update for 7.2 if it's not fixed in that.  I don't have a copy as it has not
been released yet. 

Best wishes,
Alastair.

A note as I have been remiss in keeping track of this bug.  If you need to log 
into an nds server with ncpfs and the server is IP only, use the -A flag and 
give it the FQDN of the server (or just the server name if you have resolv.conf 
looking up the right address) and it'll work as well.

Comment 4 Phil Knirsch 2002-01-17 11:08:19 UTC
As this seems to be more of a configuration issue and the comments already
provide a workaround resp. a correct configuration for the problem i'm closing
the bug as NOTABUG.

Read ya, Phil
