Mounting Netware Share - Rights Issues with Wine Programs

[ostrowlaw]

Hi,

I followed the excellent article " Mount a Netware Shore on Ubuntu 10.04 - Lucid Lynx at http://tombott.com/mount_novell_netw...n_ubuntu_10.04, and mounted my Netware 5.1 volumes wonderfully. I can read the Netware volumes. However, I cannot write to the volumes.

I have MS Word running in Wine, as well as MS Visual Foxpro 6.0 which have data and application files on the server. When I try to write to the files on the server, I get an error message that the files are read only. Incidentally, I can read and write to the server using OpenOffice! So, it appears to be a problem using Wine accessing Netware.

I am the admin on the server with full r/w rights. What do I need to do here?

I would, ultimately, like to move all my workstations over to Linux, but this is a problem.

Thanks for your help.

Have you created a separate mapping in winecfg for those mounts? Have you set their type to network?

MS Office being a big POS wants specific functionality when working with files on a local disk. In most cases this functionality is not available on network FSs.
