PAM, ncpfs and timeouts
We're currently putting together a disk image for a lab full of Linux
machines at Rhodes. The image is based
on Novell Linux Desktop
9 and uses our existing Novell
eDirectory for authentication and home directories.
In order to achieve this we've made heavy use of the ncpfs
package. ncpfs provides a way for Linux users to mount Novell NSS volumes.
It contains a series of userland tools (such as ncpmount)
to allow users to mount remote volumes, print to Novell print queues, etc.
It also contains a contributed PAM module (pam_ncp_auth)
that allows us to automate most of this.
