I was wondering how many people would be interested in a Novell 6 tutorial, probably including, installation, configuration, and of course, vulnerability assessing and patching.
Haven't seen mutch intrest in it here, I may write it anyway though, if I write it at all. Would post it as a poll, but that's kinda wierd, so I'll just let leave it at this. Suggestions are welcome, such as something to focus on or a particular vulnerability solution to include.
I'd be interestin in learning about Novell a little bit. If you write it I'll read it.
I'd be interested in a tutorial on it. I have looked into learning it...
All of my teachers kind of discourage me to learn it. They say it was good "back in the day" but I'd still like to learn a bit about it.
I am interested in ALL types of technologies and OSs. If I had another box, I'd consider installing it myself and messing around a bit. Maybe its time to build another box?
Maybe you can get it in the AO newsletter 7? Talk to msmittens about it. She just posted an official call for articles... I wish I had the time to write one...
the people at novell like to think thier software is good for modern buisnesses, but I just don't know. I mean, I like the footprint... it's just a dos app, and now alot of it's written in java which is fairly modern, but the way everything is setup is just kinda wierd, you know. But it would always be good to be able to use it and (to go along with this site) secure it.
I like your attitude as far as wanting to learn all types of new technologies and OSs, It's similar to mine, except mine is more like; I just like the challenge of it all ;)
oh, and if your curious, I 'aquired' novell 6 from a client for whom we setup a novell server, I'm using it to learn novell. Actually I'm updating my knowledge from Novell 4.x and 5.x which I used to use when I was a tech at my school system. Just figured I share the wealth (knowledge, not warez).
i wouldnt mind seeing some stuff on it post if u got it i shell read
We're in the middle of upgrading over a hundred servers to 6. We've got maybe a dozen of them done so far. I know that we're doing it so fast that we're missing stuff, so I'd love to see something. None of the six CNE's on staff have had a day of formal training on it, and we have two sites that are already exclusively 6. I'm also running our entire enterprise DNS off of 6......It's a pretty nice little NOS. I manage is great.
I do like Netware and we have a few servers running and I have only positive things to say about them. Netware may 'feel' old but it's really good in what it does. The only problem I have had so far is that the drivers for the SAN adapter don't directly support multiple disks, but that may be a driver issue more then a Netware related problem. We have not upgraded to NW6 yet but it'll probably be done during this year.
UpperCell : I would really like to read a tut on Netware 6, especially if you can cover many of the new features :).

Maybe I'll try and 'aquire' a copy of 5.11 as well and refresh myself as to the features offered, and compare them a little with 6. Either way this isn't gonna happen right away, I can start some stuff, but I don't want to get too into anything yet 'cause I maybe moving pretty soon and I'll probably set up a goofy comp with it loaded so I can confirm everything I write. This is just a little project I may start in a little while here.
I use novell all the time and i think it would be cool to see how you would set yours up. incomparison to the way i do it. Do you use zenworks at all or bordermanager?
Same here
if you write it and i will read it.
It has come to my attention that SOMEONE on this thread asked that President Bush and his facist regime be saved by God. Our country is not run by a facist regime. In a facist regime, people are executed based solely on nationality, race, or religion. In our society, even idiots who seem to have gained nothing from their education, are allowed to speak out. However, they must be restricted and sometimes shot with rubber bullets (which I do not think are hard enough) when they start to interfere with the rights of other people. This includes tresspassing, blocking traffic, and causing damage to property.
On a different note, I think that Novell NetWare has become insignificant for most purposes. Even Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 Server version is more advanced than the newest version of NetWare for many purposes. Developing and using software for Windows is much easier, there are much more applications available, Windows NT and its relatives (2000, XP Pro, .net) are far more reliable than NetWare, NTFS is much more advanced and configurable than any NetWare system, Microsoft offers more frequent security updates than Novell, and Windows offers much more flexibility and compatability than Novell with other computers and network services.
Thanks for responding you all. I'll start getting some stuff together shortly and write it when I get a box with it on it to play with and confirm everything I write.
i would love to see a novell tutorial, where i work the county uses it. I'm suprised how well it works...we dont have that many problems at all. Novell seems like they are a little focused on security, i'm sure there are less security focused networks out there. I mostly like how novell uses the Console One user manager program, u can configure everyone's account very easily and its nicely integrated with other programs. A Novell tutorial would be cool, i'd love to see what u have to say about it.
