So you use the address as a servername? Try -S servername instead. ---

> [@tolikk;4665](#): > > Мount is fine. > Problem is encoded for client in Cyrillic in file names and directories on server. Ok, got a chance to dive into some old notes (thank god for the search feature in Vibe :P) There I found the following command that I once needed to properly mount to a NetWare Cluster node (I think it was something a derived from an old CoolSolution article… anyway): ```auto mount -t ncp -o tcp,ipserver=[servername],codepage=cp850,passwd=***,noupcasepasswd,volume=[volume name], [servername]/[user].[context] /[mountpoint] ``` As it contains a codepage entry… it might be what you are looking for. Could be the codepage set on your Novell server is different and you need to match it. Cheers, Willem ---

No idea what happened to your post… Don’t understand fully… but it seems the utf8 encoding is messing stuff up? What OS and patchlevel is the Novell server you are mounting to? If it’s pre 6.0 and latest patches have not been applied… could be something there. Also see this TID that might be related: [http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7001283](http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7001283) Curios, why are you using code page 866? The default code pages on NetWare can be (depending on version) 437 (older) and 850 (newer) IIRC. Cheers, Willem ---

> [@tolikk;4679](#): > > Is there another way to connect Linux computers to the server SLES10&OES2 except the ncpmount? Sure & good question: NFS, CIFS/Samba, SFTP (over SSH), FTP being the ones that come to mind directly… depends on what you are planning to do with the data on the OES server. From all the options configuring CIFS on the OES server would be the simplest in my mind, as also file locking (and cross protocol locking, when talking a recent OES version) mechanisms are in place which is usually a good idea to have. If your data is on NSS volumes, having CIFS means transparent access as the login and rights granted on the CIFS share are equal to those you would get when logged in and coming from NCP side (Novell Client).
