Question / Problem

Why are the file owners on a Novell Netware drive not displayed?

Answer / Solution

We use the WindowsAPI functions to determine the user names. Unfortunately, the Netware client for Windows does not provide information about the owners through the normal Windows API functions. That's why Novel and Linux (some Samba versions) have this problem. However, all other functions are also available on Netware drives without restrictions.
