Environment

Novell Open Enterprise Server (Linux based)
Novell Storage Services (NSS)

Situation

Unable to map to NSS volume on OES Linux server
Can't get into NSS Management Utilities on OES Linux
Error: nsscon not found: No such file or directory.
Error: Error opening NSS management file (No such file or directory) on server at /sbin/nss line 43
Error: nds_nss_GetPwdbyName: init sock returned -1

Resolution

Reconfigure NSS through YaST. When done, check to see if the /opt/novell/oes_install.sh exists. If it does, you will want to run it.
