Mass User Management will do this also plus a whole lot more.  You can set
account balances to a particular value, add so much to that value or make
the balances unlimited for people in a group, people with login dates older
than..., people you have listed in a text file, etc.  MUM may be an
overkill if this is all you have to do -- it's designed to be an overall
manager for sysops with large numbers of users--doing things like adding,
deleting, updating and generating reports for mass users.  This particular
aspect of updating accounts is only a small portion of what it does.

Here's a few places the demo's found on:
risc.ua.edu      130.160.4.7          /pub/network/novlib/misc
splicer          128.171.17.7         /novell/util
netlab2.usu.edu  128.123.1.11         /apps

Of course I am biased to MUM because I helped develop it, but it is still
cool.

A difference between the fore-mentioned command line program and MUM is that
the command line is probably free and MUM is not.

Good luck in any case

Subject:      Spurious Hardware Interrupt

We are having a problem with "Spurious Hardware Interrupt 12 detected"
messages.  This is promptly followed by the server keyboard locking up. We can
reset the keyboards by unplugging them and then plugging them back in.  None of
the hardware we have installed is configured for IRQ 12 and the messages are
only displayed intermittently (1 every 4-5 days and then 6-7 at a time).  We
have 3 Adaptec 1740 controllers configured for enhanced mode (sharing IRQ 11)
and 2 NE3200 adapters at IRQ 15 and IRQ 9.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Worse news.  Only 20 can attach, and that includes things like RPrinter.  We
have a 250 network with over 20 lasers attached, each takes a slot.

I didn't give out enough details.  I do *not* have the LaserWriter connected
to the Novell network anymore, but just to one Mac via 1 LocalTalk segment.
This mac is isolated (ie,  LW------localtalk-----Mac).

>This changes the type of the printer to LaserShared instead of LaserWriter.

I am not using ATPS -h......my autoexec.ncf has

                 LOAD ATPS -s -v

The ATPS.CFG file has:

                -o USApplePS -wb -l -f applwnt -g

However, it really shouldn't depend on the Netware part of it since the
printer is no longer networked (...assuming you don't call a Mac and its
printer *networked*).  :-)

>Also, shut your printer off for a few minutes and then restart it.

It was off for 8 hours.  Still comes up LaserShared...even when it is powered
on with *no* connections (serial and/or LocalTalk).

The printer has never been on a LocalTalk segment on our server.  The printer
origionally resided on a Castelle Box COM1 (at 38.4K).  Do you have any other
suggestions?

Pretty close to that.  I've got one user who can write a file, but can
never replace the file.  He has to use a new name if he wants to save
multiple times in a WordPerfect session.  Can't delete it from the
file list (F5) either, because WP comes back with "error: file not found".
Nobody else has the problem.  Of course, this guy has also experienced
random hangs on his workstation, along with what appear to be spurious
memory parity errors, for months.  I've tried three different brands 
of ethernet cards and at least a dozen IRQ, base mem settings, but
nothing ever seems to change.  Memory testers claim everything is beauty.
I can't decide if it's WP, Novell, or the workstation.

I have 8meg of memory in my machine, so I created a 2 meg ram drive
and set temp to the ram drive.  When my machine is turned off, the
files are gone.  All of the machines I'm responsible for do have at least
4meg of memory.

I believe (and I could be did wrong since I haven't worked with it much) that
ODI only supports one frame type on a workstation.  But the file server can
support multiple workstations.  So set your workstation to the Ethernet_II
frame type and add that frame type on your file servers.  I hope that helps.

Hi everyone:

  I am at a dead end.  I am trying to get a 3.11 printserver to service a
2.15 queue.  The response I have gotten from the list is that its do-able.
However, after setting everything up and I was loading pserver on the 3.11
server. I got an error message saying that it was unable to login to the
2.15 server.  One response I got from the list was whether I had a password
on the guest account of the 2.15 server.? Yes, initially I did have password
enabled on the 2.15 server. I got rid of it and loaded the pserver again
but unfortunately I still go the same error message,

What am I doing wrong?????

I think that your Inherited rights is set to [], and not [<all>].  Rights work

Subject:      RE: ImageWriter II

I don't know of any Windows drivers for Apple Imagewriters; indeed I don't
know of any PC program which includes support for these which is curious since
there's no reason why a PC couldn't use one connected serially or over a
 network... I am open to correction if anyone knows better.

Getting one Appletalk queue to spool to several Apple printers is a curious
business as Apple do not support or approve of such a feature. You will need
the Mac NLM ver 3.01 or later. You need lines in you atps.cfg for each printer
servicing the queue but with the Appletalk spooler turned off for all those
after the first one.

So, here's an example:

IM1:zone1 -o IMqueue -f apple
IM2:zone1 -o IMqueue -wf
IM2:zone1 -o IMqueue -wf

The significant switches are -f and -wf: the first printer, IM1, creates the
real Appletalk spooler; the next two printers are assigned to the same queue
(IMqueue) but the -wf switch tells atps *not* to create spoolers for them
but to use the first printer's spooler for all three. The -f switch in the
 firstline is intended to help manage fonts for all three printers and is
 recommended.
All this is only necesary if you are using atps to maintain and service these
queues: if you use pserver to do so then the -wb switch on the relevant line
queues: if you use pserver to do so then the -wb switch on the relevant line
tells Appletalk to advertise this queue but not to service it.

Trust this is clear.

	I hope you never have to sort or update a file greater than
two megabytes!  The swap files can often be larger than the original!
What I've done is create a local directory (obviously, this only works
if you have local drives) at c:/bin/fox (I use FoxPro/LAN 2.0 instead of
dBase, but they are very similar) and just added "del C:\bin\fox\*.tmp"
to the login script.  I preceed this with a chkdsk /f<yes.txt, where
yes.txt consists of a "Y" followed by two carriage returns).  That pumps
the confirmation into chkdsk.   It works fine.
