We create /etc/slp.conf:
net.slp.useScopes = rug_slp_global net.slp.DAAddresses = 129.125.50.167,129.125.50.168 net.slp.passiveDADetection = false net.slp.activeDADetection = false
We install all debs and run the test command
sudo apt-get install nici novell-client novell-client-script novell-filesystem novell-nmasclient novell-novfsd novell-qtgui novell-ui-base novell-xplatlib novell-xtier-base novell-xtier-core novell-xtier-xplat

/opt/novell/ncl/bin/nwlogin -c staff.rug.nl -t rug-tree -s 129.125.50.166 -u p217811
/opt/novell/ncl/bin/nwlogin: error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.19.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Many of the NovFS executables need libbfd-2.19.so.
That precise version is not available on out-of-the-box Intrepid, and the package with the version that is available (binutils-dev), states explicitly that no other package should depend on the shared library it provides.
Furthermore, the NovFS packages rely heavily on their own libraries in /opt/novell/lib, so I figure one more such library won't hurt.
In OpenSuSE, the binutils RPM happens to provide the library, so we work that RPM with alien too.
cd ~/novfs-hack/rpms
wget http://osis.service.rug.nl/pub/os/linux/distr/opensuse/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/suse/i586/binutils-2.19-9.3.i586.rpm
cd ../alienated
mkdir binutils-2.19 ; cd binutils-2.19
fakeroot alien --to-deb -cgk ../../rpms/binutils-2.19-9.3.i586.rpm
Then we copy the desired lib to /opt/novell/lib and retry the test command:
sudo cp binutils-2.19/usr/lib/libbfd-2.19.so /opt/novell/lib/
sudo cp binutils-2.19/usr/lib/libopcodes-2.19.so /opt/novell/lib/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/novell/lib/
/opt/novell/ncl/bin/nwlogin -c staff.rug.nl -t rug-tree -s 129.125.50.166 -u p217811
The novfs file system is present but not mounted correctly.
For additional information, see 'Installation and Administration Guide' in the Novell Client for Linux documentation.
We suspect that the fault is in the novell-novfsd package.
We reinstall it
sudo apt-get remove novell-novfsd
sudo apt-get install novell-novfsd
