Prevent users from accidentally dragging and dropping folders into other folders – OES11

Here is how to prevent that from happening.

1. Right click on the folder that you want to protect
2. Click on properties
3. Click on Netware Info tab
4. Put check mark on "Rename Inhibit" and "Delete inhibit"
5. Click on apply and OK

Also the command line can be used on OES11 server:

root# attrib /folder/protected_from_rename_delete_etc -s=ri,di

Delete files/folders on OES11 – Permission denied

While deleting files/folders on the NSS volume on an OES11 server as root user via shell. Let’s say test1.doc and the following error will occur:

“rm: cannot remove `test1.doc’: Permission denied” or “S-1-1-0-1 on a Windows machine.”

You will get that error if you have flagged the file with NSS flag “Delete Inhibit” or “Rename Inhibit”. Clear those flags out and it should also be possible to delete the file directly from a Linux console. Use this command:

root# attrib -r -c all foldername

Copy data from NSS to NSS with rights

This command “migfiles” copy data from the NSS volume DATA01:SLX on the source server with the IP address 171.16.12.56 to the tmp directory on the NSS volume DATA01 with verbose output:

root@nbsuse13:DATA01# migfiles -s 172.16.12.146 -V DATA01:SLX -x /media/nss/DATA 01/tmp -i
Enter the username (e.g cn=admin,o=mycompany)
for the server 172.16.12.146: cn=admin,ou=group,o=newbridge
Enter cn=admin,ou=group,o=newbridge password:
Enter the username (e.g root)
for the server : root
Enter root password:

Exporting and NSS Volumes for NFS Access – OES11 to Linux.

Let say that you have OES11 machine with NSS volume and you would like to export this volume to Linux machine for sharing data.
To exporting and NSS Volume from an OES11 machine to a Linux machine, add the following to /etc/export on OES11 machine:

root# cat /etc/export
/media/nss/DATA/Shared/XXHR/BNMDEV1 Linux(fsid=1,rw,no_root_squash,sync,anonuid=1000,all_squash)
root#

To mount NSS volume from an OES11 machine into a Linux machine, add the following to /etc/fstab on Linux machine:

root# cat /etc/fstab
oes11:/media/nss/DATA/Shared/XXHR/BNMDEV1 /share/Shared/XXHR/BNMDEV1 nfs defaults 0 0
root#

to verity that everything is okay type mount command on a Linux machine, and you should see something like this:

root# mount
OES11:/media/nss/DATA/Shared/XXHR/BNMDEV1 on /share/Shared/XXHR/BNMDEV1 type nfs (rw,addr=172.16.12.12)

Starting NFS client services: sm-notify idmapd – hangs on SUSE and OES11.

The system is responding to a keyboard, but the booting process does not go forward.
Only ctrl+alt+del is working fine. To make it work I had to reboot with runlevel 1 and delete this one:
/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S04nfs.
After that system is booting without problem.

Can't delete files/folders on a NSS volume.

While deleting files/folders on the NSS volume on an OES11 server as root user via shell. Let’s say test1.doc and the following error will occur:

“rm: cannot remove `test1.doc’: Permission denied” or “S-1-1-0-1 on a Windows machine.”

You will get that error if you have flagged the file with NSS flag “Delete Inhibit” or “Rename Inhibit”. Clear those flags out and it should also be possible to delete the file directly from a Linux console.
Use this command:

root# attrib -r -c all foldername
