Re: LibC Development, especially Quotas
Hi Dimitry and Guenter,
Thank You for your help.
the hint to the VFS was very useful.
Now I have written a Daemon as NLM which opens a VFS-File (files.cmd),
using the functions:
- create_identity
- NXCreatePathContext
- NXFileOpen
and passes down to it requests from my administration tools.
An other part of the daemon issues
- NXDirCreate
With the help of this daemon now our Identity-Management-Procedures
can create and monitor not only the NDS-Object but also
the NSS-Home along with the attributes, trustees and quotas.
This structure is now stable running in daily operations.
Administrators of huge systems cannot handle all stuff with the interactive
Novell/Netware-Tools, you need some batch processing.
In the window world there are some tool-bundles from third -party.
But I think, in the long term, when Novell is moving toward Linux, it would
be very useful to have some tools in the UNIX-world.
Those can easily be created, if the ingenious VFS-door is somewhere
standard open from a UNIX-System,
- as API, running on Linux or
- as Socket at the NSS-Server, open from the outer world.
I hope, we will be able to look forward to such development.
Again thanks
Gert
