+ <title>Migrating NetWare 4.11 Server to Samba-3</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Novell is a company any seasoned IT manager has to admire. Since the acquisition of
+ the SuSE Linux company, the acquisition on Ximian, and other moves that are friendly
+ to the FLOSS (Free-Libre/Open Source Software) movement, Novell are emerging out of
+ a deep regression that almost saw the company disappear into obscurity.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This chapter was contributed by Kristal Sarbanes, a UNIX administrator of many
+ years who surfaced on the Samba mailing list with a barrage of questions, and who
+ regularly now helps other administrators to solve thorny Samba migration questions.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ One wonders how many NetWare servers remain in active service. Many are being migrated
+ to Samba on Linux. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 is an ideal target platform to which
+ a NetWare server may be migrated. The migration method of choice is much dependant on
+ the tools that the administrator finds most natural to use. The old-hand NetWare guru
+ will likely want to use the tools that are part of the Mars_NWE (Martin Stovers NetWare
+ Emulator) open source package. The MS Windows administrator will likely make use of the
+ NWConv utility that is a part of Windows NT4 Server, while the die-hard UNIX administrator
+ will have a natural inclination to use the NetWare NLM for <command>rsync</command> to
+ migrate files from the NetWare server to the Samba server. Whatever your tool of choice,
+ migration will be filled with joyous and challenging moments - though probably not
+ concurrently.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This chapter tells its own story, so ride along, ... maybe the information here presented
+ will help to smooth over a similar migration that may be required in your favorite
+ networking environment.

+ Kristal Sarbanes was recruited by Abmas Inc. to administer a network that had

+ As a brand-new sysadmin to this company, she inherited a very old Novell file server,
+ and came with a determination to change things for the better.

+ A decision to use LDAP was made even though I know nothing about LDAP except that
+ I had been reading the book <quote>LDAP System Administration</quote>, by Gerald Carter.
+ LDAP seemed to provide some of the functionality of Novell's e-Directory Services
+ and would provide centralized authentication and identity management.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Building the LDAP database took a while, and a lot of trial and error. Following
+ LDAP System Administration's guidance, I installed OpenLDAP (from RPM later I compiled
+ a more current version from source) and built my initial LDAP tree.

+ <para>
+ The very first challenge was to create a company white-pages, followed by manually
+ entering everything from the printed company diretory. This used only the inetOrgPerson
+ objectclass from the OpenLDAP schemas. The next step was to write a shell script which
+ would look at the <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> and <filename>/etc/shadow</filename>
+ files on our mail server, and create a LDIF file from which the information could be
+ imported into LDAP. This would allow use of LDAP for Linux authentication, IMAP, POP3,
+ and SMTP.
