Environment

Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux
Novell Remote Manager

Situation

Files and folders with the "hidden" attribute set, stored on either an NSS volume or a POSIX file system (like EXT2, EXT3, Reiser) exported as a NCP volume, can not be seen when browsing to them via the "NCP Volumes" in the Novell Remote Manager's "File System" home Page or via the links under "Manage NCPServices"> "Manage Shares".
 
Under the "Configure" Page of Novell Remote Manager, there is no option to activate "View Hidden Files or Folders" as there is on the Novell NetWare Remote Manager on Open Enterprise Server 2 NetWare.

Resolution

This is addressed in Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 Support Pack 3.
 
Until that version is released the hidden files and folders can be seen via "View File System"> "View File System Listing" and under "File System Management"> "File Systems" in the page reachable via the "home" button of Novell Remote Manager.
