This Perl script lists returns what the eDirectory name is for an existing NSS storage pool. It uses the Virtual File Services (Originally called Virtual File Services for NetWare) which were ported over to Linux. The SDK for this API set can be downloaded from http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Virtual_File_Services_for_NetWare. The objective of the tool is to add a trustee to a file using XML as specified in the VFS for NetWare specification. It is intended to be used as a sample script for developers that may want to use the VFS API set to view and manage storage.

How to Use the file:

linuxGetNDSName.pl is a Perl script. So Perl must be installed and running on the Linux server that this file is being loaded on. NSS must be installed to get the VFS support.

To run the perl script type:

perl linuxGetNDSName.pl POOL_NAME <enter>

Where POOL_NAME is the name of an NSS Pool.

Example: perl linuxGetNDSName.pl NSSPOOL <enter>

Sample output:

grep57:/a # perl linuxGetNDSName.pl NSS
file is now open
File Name:  </_admin/Manage_NSS/manage.cmd
