# NCP Filesystem configuration

config NCP_FS
	tristate "NCP file system support (to mount NetWare volumes)"
	depends on IPX!=n || INET
	help
	  NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
	  used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers.  It is to
	  IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps.  Saying Y here allows you
	  to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
	  any other Unix directory.  For details, please read the file
	  <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
	  the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

	  You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a
	  file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.

	  General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
	  Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.

	  To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
	  ncpfs.  Say N unless you are connected to a Novell network.

config NCPFS_PACKET_SIGNING
	bool "Packet signatures"
	depends on NCP_FS
	help
	  NCP allows packets to be signed for stronger security. If you want
	  security, say Y.  Normal users can leave it off.  To be able to use
	  packet signing you must use ncpfs > 2.0.12.

config NCPFS_IOCTL_LOCKING
	bool "Proprietary file locking"
	depends on NCP_FS
	help
	  Allows locking of records on remote volumes.  Say N unless you have
	  special applications which are able to utilize this locking scheme.

config NCPFS_STRONG
	bool "Clear remove/delete inhibit when needed"
	depends on NCP_FS
	help
	  Allows manipulation of files flagged as Delete or Rename Inhibit.
	  To use this feature you must mount volumes with the ncpmount
	  parameter "-s" (ncpfs-2.0.12 and newer).  Say Y unless you are not
	  mounting volumes with -f 444.

config NCPFS_NFS_NS
	bool "Use NFS namespace if available"
	depends on NCP_FS
	help
	  Allows you to utilize NFS namespace on NetWare servers.  It brings
	  you case sensitive filenames.  Say Y.  You can disable it at
	  mount-time with the `-N nfs' parameter of ncpmount.

config NCPFS_OS2_NS
	bool "Use LONG (OS/2) namespace if available"
	depends on NCP_FS
	help
	  Allows you to utilize OS2/LONG namespace on NetWare servers.
	  Filenames in this namespace are limited to 255 characters, they are
	  case insensitive, and case in names is preserved.  Say Y.  You can
	  disable it at mount time with the -N os2 parameter of ncpmount.

config NCPFS_SMALLDOS
	bool "Lowercase DOS filenames"
	depends on NCP_FS
	---help---
	  If you say Y here, every filename on a NetWare server volume using
	  the OS2/LONG namespace and created under DOS or on a volume using
	  DOS namespace will be converted to lowercase characters.
	  Saying N here will give you these filenames in uppercase.

	  This is only a cosmetic option since the OS2/LONG namespace is case
	  insensitive. The only major reason for this option is backward
	  compatibility when moving from DOS to OS2/LONG namespace support.
	  Long filenames (created by Win95) will not be affected.

	  This option does not solve the problem that filenames appear
	  differently under Linux and under Windows, since Windows does an
	  additional conversions on the client side. You can achieve similar
	  effects by saying Y to "Allow using of Native Language Support"
	  below.

config NCPFS_NLS
	bool "Use Native Language Support"
	depends on NCP_FS
	select NLS
	help
	  Allows you to use codepages and I/O charsets for file name
	  translation between the server file system and input/output. This
	  may be useful, if you want to access the server with other operating
	  systems, e.g. Windows 95. See also NLS for more Information.

	  To select codepages and I/O charsets use ncpfs-2.2.0.13 or newer.

config NCPFS_EXTRAS
	bool "Enable symbolic links and execute flags"
	depends on NCP_FS
	help
	  This enables the use of symbolic links and an execute permission
	  bit on NCPFS. The file server need not have long name space or NFS
	  name space loaded for these to work.

	  To use the new attributes, it is recommended to use the flags
	  '-f 600 -d 755' on the ncpmount command line.
