Ok Ken, do the following:
- Down the server
- Boot dos
- Create a new sub-directory on the dos partition of your server, for
example: nw311.100
- copy system-1 and -2 disks to this directory.
- copy startup.ncf from the 'old' nw directory to nw311.100
- fire up the new server.exe
- load install
- select copy system and public files, and let install copy them.
- down the server.
- edit the old autoexec.bat to look into the new nw311.100 directory
  to start server.exe.
- Reboot the server
- see if everything goes alright.

Greetings...

Henno.

It's not a dramatic security risk. For it to work you need physical
access to the fileserver console. Then you need to load the
Burglar.nlm. with as option the knew supervisor equivalent.

so "load a:burglar santa"

santa is now supervisor equivalent with no password. After that you
can login as santa and change the password for the supervisor to
something more convenient.

There are some problems:

1. The console should not be locked by the monitor utility
2. the secure console command should not been issued (then you can
   only load nlm's from system)

There is also a sollution: down the server .... !!!

But must users won't lijke this very much

I think is a very usefull tool and not a security risk

- Fileserver should be kept in a secureroom and in public room

Subject:      Printing Mac --> HP IIIsi via NW 3.11 & NW-MAC.

        Hello,
        I have 2 servers: A, and B, both running 3.11.  Server A has an
arcnet card only.  Server B has an arcnet and an ethernet card and serves as
a bridge.
        I can log into server B from a macintosh with an ethernet card and
am trying to print from a Macintosh to a networked HP IIIsi.  The IIIsi is
connected to a dedicated workstation running RPRINTER.EXE and currently
services server A only.

        I can see my queue from the Macintosh, and even in the "PCONSOLE"
window everything appears fine (ie. the job is added to the queue and is
activated).  Even the printer seems to accept the job and the lights on the
printer's panel indicate that it is processing the job.  However the
appropriate lights blink for a couple of minutes and then nothing is printed
out.

        There are no error messages, of any sort.  Has anyone experienced a
similar problem?

        Any suggestions / help will be greatly appreciated.

        Thank You.

Subject:      PD SW copying programs

Does anyone know of a tool that manages the copying of software to
from server directories to disks of various sizes and drive letters?
We are looking for a tool to assist our users in copying PD and
shareware from our servers to their disks.  Something menu based that
could manage the tasks of telling users how many of what disks are
recommended, ask which drive letters should be used for copying, and
then actually doing the copying would be good.

I thought I saw something like this about a year ago on some FTP
site, but I didn't keep it.  Any ideas?

Subject: Issues on Netware 3.11 Printing Setup
Organization: University of Notre Dame
Date: Wed, 16 Dec 1992 16:55:15 GMT

Netware 386 3.11

I will be having a 486/50 file server setup with 8 meg of memory servicing 
60 PC's on a ethernet network...... I'm looking to set up 6 printers.  Now, 
I have the hardware to use 3 PC's as print servers and have all my printers 
remotely.  If using this scenario does the remote printers(using pserver.
exe) cause a lot of unwanted network traffic due to the polling for jobs 
and servicing of print queues.  Am I correct that remote print jobs get 
sent to the file server in the queue wanting to be serviced then the 
print server polls the job from the queue to be printed.....?  


I'm wondering what load I'm I removing from the file server doing remote 
printing as opposed to having printers hanging directly off the file server 
if any.  If there is an advantage is it negated by the amount of network 
traffic which several print servers may cause????

I will have some printers that will be used more than others..... Should I 
have these set directly off the file server while using remote printing for 
the others.........

I'm concerned about the load of the file server while not causing much 
traffic on the network....

Thanks for your time and efforts in answering the above questions.....

Being that Starnet Communications can interface with NCSA, does that imply

        I'm glad to see people taking an interest in the patches and upgrades.
The answer to the last question is: no, that is certainly not all. There is
no simple answer/solution because there are so many components which can be
added to servers and clients, hence the large archive. Be sure to look in
directory novlib\novfiles. File Forum.dos (in novlib\01) and Novchg.92 (ditto)
have many references to new things, but they are neither completely accurate,
nor uptodate. So, in addition to those files also look at the individual
directories now and then for the changes which occur daily. On my copy of the
Novell ftp archive on netlab2.usu.edu I have included files whatis.nn to
list contents of .ZIP and .EXE archives, and that helps some. I update netlab2
daily but those whatis files are redone every week or two.
        Each archive file typically has a packing list which usually describes
the changes to the date of issue. Pay attention to the dates of the unpacked
files because there can be many versions with the same name. Patchman.NLM is
an case in point where you must have the correct version to load many patches,
yet there are scads of versions in the archives. Also, be aware of the date
of the archive file because some are replaced by new editions with exactly
the same archive name.
        Happy hunting, and please do pickup the security suite from novfiles.

Subject:      transfering account accross servers.

Hello,

We are about to replace our old server with Netware 2.15c with a
newer box running 3.11.  The problem is how to transfer my old users
over to the new server.  To compound this problem, we are using
Pegasus mail.  Pegasus is using the novell Mail directory and storing
messages in the users' corresponding mail directory (that hexadecimal
directory name that doubles as the User ID).

I believe that when you create an account a new user ID is assigned
to the account.  This means that if you delete a user and create a
new one with the identical name, the user ID may be different.

How can we transfer old accounts to the new server without losing the
data stored in the all the MAIL directories?

I understood that Workgroup managers had no additional rights over users set
up by the supervisor, unless granted those rights as a Manager of that
user. I understand that Workgroup managers have additional rights over users
they create themselves.

I do not use these much, but the two most common complaints from people here
who do, is that Work Group Managers cannot:

1)  manage the print-outs of their users in any way (you need to be a Print
Queue Operator to do this, then you can manage the whole print queue)

2)  unlock users from intruder lockout (you need to be a supervisor to do
this)

Copy SERVER.EXE from the SYSTEM-1 disk onto the DOS partition of your boot
disk (IE: C:\). If you're booting from a floppy, then it goes there. Then
reboot the server and see what happens.

with prompt at top of directory structure do

tree /f > filename

to pipe it to file.  Repeat for each directory structure, then use
DOS comp command to compare files.  This will not check file sizes
and dates, but will check the existance of the file.  I use xcopy
frequently and find it totally reliable.

   As you all know, NetWorld Boston is just around the corner.  In the past,
   I tried to bring our Novell@SUVM family together at independent seminars
   and a reception.  Well, it is not possible to do the sessions, but the
   get togther...  That is another story.

   Since this might very well be the last show in Boston, our Greater Boston
   Area Novell Users Group wants everyone to be sure to have a great time in
   our town.

   To this end, we are organizing a hospitality party at the Cambridge
   Brewing Company, a fine local micro-brewery, with pretty good food as
   well, to kick off the week.

   At this time, NetFrame and our group will be putting in some dollars to
   get souvenir mugs for all who attend.  Right now, I do not have the
   money to cover all of the food and drink, but I am working on it.

   So mark your calendars down for Sunday, January 10th, 7pm.  The Cambridge
   Brewing Company is in Kendall Square, Cambridge, a short cab or subway ride
   from the Hines.

   If you are coming in for the show, lets all try to meet one another
   at this time.

   PS... We are also inviting our NetWire friends to this pub crawl as well.
   It should be one big happy networking get together.

   If you think that you will be able to attend, please send me a PRIVATE
   RSVP.  I will compile a list and publish it to all just before the show
   so that we might all know who is going to be there.

stable with a 486/33, but it still crashed about once a day.  We're using 
version 1.22 and the latest OnLAN software.

If the server hasn't crashed, then this is the most common other problem 
which I encounter.  Its all been very frustrating since the software is
adequate for our needs.  Its just so unstable!

I wasn't impressed with Novell's tech support for the Access Server...
