The trick is to ignore the file permissions as shown on the Linux console
completely and stay with ncp rights. For the volumes mounted at /media/nss
by default only root has full access regardless of the permissions as
shown above. chmod or chown will do nothing. Instead change the
permissions with the rights command, with iManager, or with the Novell
Client. Any LUM enabled user will have access depending on these
permissions. Note that the user wwwrun and the group www will have to be
defined in eDirectory and be LUM enabled which is the default for Linux
OES. Also note that by default this group and user will most likely be
defined in /etc/password as well. The uid and guid have to be consistent
with the LUM ones.
