[wplug] Novell Netware Attach script question

[Alheid, Gregory]

This should work for you
 
  #!/bin/ksh  
  # or  #!/bin/bash < This has not tested with bash >
 
  if [ "x$1" = "x" ] ; then
    user=sam
  else
    user=$1
  fi
 
  # Turn off echo'ing while password is entered
  stty -echo
  read pw?"? "
  stty echo
  echo
 
  ncpmount -S {server} -U $user -P $pw  /{mountpoint}

Subject: [wplug] Novell Netware Attach script question


I have a Linux workstation with NCP ultilities successfully installed, and I
can "log-in" from that machine to a NetWare 4.11 server in bindery emulation
mode using:
 
# ncpmount -S {server} -U {username} -P {password} /{mountpoint}
 
...  does anyone know how I can modify that script (or make a new one) that
will allow the username and password to be interactive instead of just
'coded in'?  I have a number of linux machines that I want to create a
'guest' local account, and then log into the Novell network using any number
of logins, or machines.  If I can make it interactive, that solves a huge
security issue for me!  Any help, as always, would be greatly appreciated!
 
Jonathan
