Cohiba 1.0 -- Making Life with NetWare a Little Easier
*Cohiba is a control panel designed to make your life easier if you must
live, as I do, within the bounds of a NetWare universe. Basically, *Cohiba
allows you to log into a Netware Directory Services (NDS) tree during
bootup. "What's so great about that?" you may ask. Well, with *Cohiba
installed you will be able to put aliases of items found on NetWare
fileservers inside your Startup Items folder and have them resolved for you
automatically every time you boot your Mac up!
In fact, *Cohiba has been found to be useful in the following sorts of
situations:
1. You (or a client) would like to have NetWare behave more like the way
AppleShare can (i.e., log into a server automatically during bootup).
2. You have a kiosk Macintosh which should log into a NetWare fileserver
without human intervention.
3. A public access lab Macintosh should log into a NetWare fileserver
automatically as part of your administrative schema.
*Cohiba requires that you have the Novell Client for the Macintosh (version
5.1 or greater) already installed on your Macintosh. (The NW Client
Installer is avaiable free from Novell.) *Cohiba's Mac OS requirements are
the same as the NetWare Client for the Macintosh's. *Cohiba must load
after the MacIPX control panel (if you do not change *Cohiba's name, this
will happen automatically).
*Cohiba is nothing-says-thank-you-better-than-beer-ware. If you find
*Cohiba useful, and you would like to let me know in a tangible way, please
send me some of your favorite local, microbrewed beer. It should be sent
to:
