Subject:      MAC NLM 3.01 and System 7.1 weirdnesses?

We have upgraded a few of our Macs to 7.1.  We have not yet upgraded our MAC
NLM to 3.11.  It seems that with the 7.1 upgrade comes a bit of a glitch in
Novell access privileges.

The group EVERYONE has read/write etc. access privileges to
directories/folders \HOME and \MACHOME.

Right now, when a user logs into the server from a MAC with system 6 still
on it he can create folders and save to his \MACHOME\XXX subdirectories.
BUT, when he does this from a "new, improved machine (System 7.1)" he is told
he does not have the rights to do so.

Will upgrading to NetWare for Macintosh 3.11 solve this problem?  All our
Macs will be upgrading to System 7.1 January 1.

In the meantime, I could go through ALL the novell login ids and
specifically assign access privileges to \MACHOME (the rights do not carry
over from the group EVERYONE, apparently).  I would rather get the upgrade
if it takes care of this problem.

Advice, anyone?

              11 Dec 1992 08:13:02 EST from <peterb@SVENGALI.US.DG.COM>

I have a small classroom set up with 16 486 PCs using MSDOS 5 & Win 3.1.
I have Windows running from the local hard disks, and installed on the
file server.  I'm using Saber menus for Windows to prevent access to the
local disks.  I use the WSUPDATE program to download new copies of the
*.ini files as needed to reset the local files.

After a lot of experimentation, this worked well for me.  All my applications
are on the file server, and all of the WS OS stuff is at the workstation. I
keep a master copy of the WS OS stuff on the file server. I have another
classroom coming online next year and I plan to set it up the same way.

Hope this helps.      -John

I am a person (At last look anyway), and definately not an institution, nor

Anyway. The netware accounting print server is a shareware program I wrote to
count pages on a novell networked printer. The archive is on splicer in 
files/novell/util/pserv27b.zip

Reg is US$50, and for a total of US$100 (ie reg + another US$50) you can get
the source as well. Send me some email with a fax number and I will fax an
invoice for your finance people to keep them happy, and a non-disclosure
agreement to say you keep the source secret, and away we go.

Current limitations as of 2.70b are

Printers must be directly connected to the print server
It crashes on PS/2's, and CBM PC40III's (Will be fixed in 2.70d)
Epson code sort of works. (ie some people have it working fine, but the
  person I actually added the epson code uses epson laser printers, and
  the windows drivers are using some other esc sequences so they get
  rather bitter and twisted in that respect)
Postscript support is via serial port only (Other printers can be parallel
  or serial).
It doesn't run as an NLM.

How do I prevent from the server to broadcast his messages to all users,

I am having a problem with my modem server dropping off the net.  I am

is no indication from the modem server console that the connection was

The 'packed file corrupt' message has something to do with the way
dos 5.0 allocates memory for stack when running a .exe file. In
my opinion this has nothing to do with your network. There are a few
readme files that come with microsoft's version of dos 5.0 which
explain the problem. Its somewhere in the manuals too.

Contact your supplier. They should have access to the Distributer who has a
privelaged relationship with Micro Design International the authors of SCSI
Express. SCSI Express has undergone a new revision every other month since
June of this year.

        When We bought ours the tech support at Micro Desigin
said it would work with memory above 16 meg in ISA servers. The copy we
bought through our local supplier/regional_distributer was version 1.09a.
You need at least version 1.1 to work with memory above 16 meg in an ISA
server.

        We had the option of buying the upgrade from Micro Design or
badgering our supplier for a free upgrade. We got 1.20! It is not installed
yet. What we are doing is not enabneling the extra memory and the 1.09a
works fine wit 10 cd drives. When we get the next 10 going we will do the
upgrade.

good luck, it is a good product!

You could try the INTEL Packet driver to IPX interface.  It moves the choice
of packet type to the IPX driver where it belongs.  I.E. you ECONFIG the
PDIPX.COM file if you want it such and such way, and you leave the Clarkson
packet driver alone.  I have not tried this on my Xircom, but it ought to
work.  The Intel driver is a direct replacement for the BYU interface, and
if you are using it already, just try to run econfig against it.  If you
don' got it you can get it from the same places you got the Clarkson
drivers, it is called PDIPX.zip or INTELPD.zip.

Hello,

Installing a new volume in our Sever (that damned 1 GB SCSI beast is
finally running, although without Adaptec...)  I moved several
subdirectory trees with XCOPY. Now before deleting the old tree
I wanted to compare all files in two directories AND their subdirecties 
with each other in order to verfiy the copies. XCOPY /V wasn't an option 
- I don't trust that whole program. 
I was quite suprised, that none of my PCTOOLS, Norton Utilities and 
DOS 5 or Novell commands seemed to have this ability.

Any ideas ?? Am I overlooking the obvious ? 
Any hints to a PD solution ?

Thanks in advance

Subject: IP non-routing on 3.11

Hey fellow netfolks-

     I am having a problem with IP routing on a NW 3.11 server.  If anyone is
able to help I would be in their debt.

Here's the hardware config:

     486 DX 33 Micronics EISA with 16 MB ram
     Adaptec 1742 EISA SCSI controller
     Seagate Wren VI 660 MB SCSI drive
     Monochrome video/LPT card
     1 NE3200 (32 bit) ethernet card
     2 SMC (formerly Western Digital) Ethercard + Elite 16 Combo cards
     1 Western Digital Ethercard + Elite 16 card

Here are the pertinent portions of SYS:SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.NCF:

mount all

load tcpip forward=yes

load smcpluss port=2a0 frame=ethernet_ii name=wd2_ipx
bind ip to wd2_ipx addr=155.100.85.1 mask=255.255.255.0

load NE3200 slot=5 frame=ethernet_ii name=ne_ipx
bind ip to ne_ipx addr=155.100.85.3 mask=255.255.255.0

load smcpluss port=280 frame=ethernet_ii name=wd6_bb_ipx
bind ip to wd6_bb_ipx addr=128.110.68.121 gate=128.110.68.126
mask=255.255.255.0

load smcpluss port=300 frame=ethernet_ii name=wd7_ipx
bind ip to wd7_ipx addr=155.100.85.2 mask=255.255.255.0

load tcpcon



     The problem is that only two of these cards are speaking IP
(128.110.68.121 [Western Digital] and 155.100.85.2 [SMC]).  The other two
don't respond to pinging, nor are the an available host using TCPCON.

     If this is insufficient explaination let me know.


Please respond directly and I will summarize if so desired.

Thank you VERY MUCH in advance.

It's noted in the readme file supplied with PMail/Mac - if you are
using NW for Mac earlier than 3.0, then you need to use ResEdit 2.1 or
later to add a ChFN resource number 128 to the PMail App. In this ChFN
resource, write the two bytes 00, 65. This oddity is required by a
curiosity in the way the NetWare API for the Mac operates.

Cheers!

The software is good but it does has its problems.  Recently I wanted
to backup just SYS:MAIL, but the best that the backup software would
allow me in its unscheduled mode is to back up *ALL* directories with
the name MAIL. Backups are quite fast, but restores are a really slow,
almost worse than our workstation-based Maynard software used to be.  I
think the whole package needs a good overhaul.

   We use American Power UPS systems too.  To determine the size required to
   fit your needs take the Volts and multiply it by the AMPS from the
   back tag of your server.  So, for example, if your SystemPro has
   an AMPS listing of 6.5 at 120 Volts, then the maximum draw and UPS
   should be at least 780 VA.  If you are plugging in multiple devices, then
   multiply their VA numbers out and add them all together.

   Note, the ratings on the back tags are Maximum ratings and draw. Under
   normal operating conditions, the power draw will most likely be less.

   The only gotcha is that with any UPS system, the batteries die after
   several years and must be periodically checked and replaced if need be.
   The good thing is that batteries are fairly inexpensive.
