4config NCP_FS
5	tristate "NCP file system support (to mount NetWare volumes)"
6	depends on IPX!=n || INET
7	help
8	  NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
9	  used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers.  It is to
10	  IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps.  Saying Y here allows you
11	  to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
12	  any other Unix directory.  For details, please read the file
13	  <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
14	  the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
15
16	  You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a
17	  file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.
18
19	  General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
20	  Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.
21
22	  To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
23	  ncpfs.  Say N unless you are connected to a Novell network.
24
25config NCPFS_PACKET_SIGNING
26	bool "Packet signatures"
27	depends on NCP_FS
28	help
29	  NCP allows packets to be signed for stronger security. If you want
30	  security, say Y.  Normal users can leave it off.  To be able to use
31	  packet signing you must use ncpfs > 2.0.12.
32
33config NCPFS_IOCTL_LOCKING
34	bool "Proprietary file locking"
35	depends on NCP_FS
36	help
37	  Allows locking of records on remote volumes.  Say N unless you have
38	  special applications which are able to utilize this locking scheme.
39
40config NCPFS_STRONG
41	bool "Clear remove/delete inhibit when needed"
42	depends on NCP_FS
43	help
44	  Allows manipulation of files flagged as Delete or Rename Inhibit.
45	  To use this feature you must mount volumes with the ncpmount
46	  parameter "-s" (ncpfs-2.0.12 and newer).  Say Y unless you are not
47	  mounting volumes with -f 444.
48
49config NCPFS_NFS_NS
50	bool "Use NFS namespace if available"
51	depends on NCP_FS
52	help
53	  Allows you to utilize NFS namespace on NetWare servers.  It brings
54	  you case sensitive filenames.  Say Y.  You can disable it at
55	  mount-time with the `-N nfs' parameter of ncpmount.
56
57config NCPFS_OS2_NS
58	bool "Use LONG (OS/2) namespace if available"
59	depends on NCP_FS
60	help
61	  Allows you to utilize OS2/LONG namespace on NetWare servers.
62	  Filenames in this namespace are limited to 255 characters, they are
63	  case insensitive, and case in names is preserved.  Say Y.  You can
64	  disable it at mount time with the -N os2 parameter of ncpmount.
65
66config NCPFS_SMALLDOS
67	bool "Lowercase DOS filenames"
68	depends on NCP_FS
69	---help---
70	  If you say Y here, every filename on a NetWare server volume using
71	  the OS2/LONG namespace and created under DOS or on a volume using
72	  DOS namespace will be converted to lowercase characters.
73	  Saying N here will give you these filenames in uppercase.
74
75	  This is only a cosmetic option since the OS2/LONG namespace is case
76	  insensitive. The only major reason for this option is backward
77	  compatibility when moving from DOS to OS2/LONG namespace support.
78	  Long filenames (created by Win95) will not be affected.
79
80	  This option does not solve the problem that filenames appear
81	  differently under Linux and under Windows, since Windows does an
82	  additional conversions on the client side. You can achieve similar
83	  effects by saying Y to "Allow using of Native Language Support"
84	  below.
85
86config NCPFS_NLS
87	bool "Use Native Language Support"
88	depends on NCP_FS
89	select NLS
90	help
91	  Allows you to use codepages and I/O charsets for file name
92	  translation between the server file system and input/output. This
93	  may be useful, if you want to access the server with other operating
94	  systems, e.g. Windows 95. See also NLS for more Information.
95
96	  To select codepages and I/O charsets use ncpfs-2.2.0.13 or newer.
97
98config NCPFS_EXTRAS
99	bool "Enable symbolic links and execute flags"
100	depends on NCP_FS
101	help
102	  This enables the use of symbolic links and an execute permission
103	  bit on NCPFS. The file server need not have long name space or NFS
104	  name space loaded for these to work.
105
106	  To use the new attributes, it is recommended to use the flags
107	  '-f 600 -d 755' on the ncpmount command line.
