X-To:         NOVELL%SUVM.BITNET@VM.BYU.EDU

Does anyone know of a utility that will list all users that have
supervisor equivalent on the network?  I know you can view a users
security status in syscon, but I need to scan all users (over 1500)
to see who has supervisor equivalent.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello

Has anyone heard something about NOVELL 4.0

Please contact me I want all the information about it I have heard
that one of the new features is that one user with a LOGINNAME  can
use several servers.

Both Saber Meter and SiteLock will do what you ask.  There is also a
new package out, (from 5th Generation?), but I haven't seen it nor
heard much about it.

Saber and SiteLock are about as far apart as you can get in Metering.

Saber requires you to enter commands in batch files or menu scripts to
call the metering program at launch, check for an errorlevel (and
branch around the application execution if the errorlevel > 0), and
then call the metering program again at application exit.  This works,
but tends to slow down application starts, and is a little tedious to
implement.  Also, if the user knows where the application is stored
and is knowledgable enough to get it running without the assistance of
your batch files or menu scripts, it is easy to sidestep the metering
program altogether.

SiteLock is implemented as an NLM or a VAP on your server, with TSRs
on each client workstation.  Once you set-up SiteLock to meter an
application, the only way around the metering is to disable the
SiteLock TSR (which I haven't tried).  If the TSR is not loaded on
login, the user can be immediately logged-out.  SiteLock also has
additional features, such as control over what software can be run
(e.g., you can set things up so some or all users are prohibited from
running programs that aren't on your approved list) and some
anti-virus capability.  There were some known problems with SiteLock
(compatibility with some other network TSRs, security holes), but
these should be cleared-up in the current version.

SiteLock is more expensive than SaberMeter, but not by much.  You can
also get SaberMeter with SaberMenu (a fine menu system for NetWare
servers, IMHO) along with some other utilities for just under what
SiteLock will cost you.

Which is the best?  Each has its own advantages.  I use Saber because,
at the time, SiteLock was too buggy for me.  Now I've got 12 copies in
use, so I probably won't switch in the near future.  However, if I had
to make the decision today, SiteLock's more secure approach would
probably win my business.--

Hi Netfolks,
Heres a techy question.  How EXACTLY does X only interact with novell on
a O/S level.  In theory, if the Netware File System is an extension of DOS
and in DOS the directory entry contains the first cluster of the file and
each subsequent cluster of data till the end has "pointers" to link the file
{in the File Allocation Table} then it is possible to read a file WITHOUT TOUCH
ING DOS.  That is how many disk utilities {e.g defraggers, Diskedit etc} work.

My question:  Isn't it possible to recreate that in a Netware environment and
recover  X Only files??!?  Or is at least possible to make applications which
can still read themselves using the above method DESPITE the X Only attribute?

Curiousity killed the TECH! er um
                           {I mean CAT}

We have been using the pocket adapter for almost 2 years now
with some toshiba laptops. The adapters attach to the parallel
port and reroute through software. You can also get an adaptor
that will basically give you back you parallel port for
printing as well as working with the ethernet modem.

We have been very happy with the units, but they were ( there
is a better model available now) a little flakey as far as
network errors and reboot problems. Logging off the network,
would also require a reboot of the computer and adaptor if you
wanted to get back on. However we never had a problem with the
adaptor dropping the connection on us.

   All told a very nice solution for laptops and notebooks.

Is there any program that can be used to transfer files across a NW

Cathy, do you have all the current patches for NW4MAC?  I believe there were 
2 patches for appltalk stuff.  We turn our printers on and off regularly and 
they are hiding fine! The console even says "cant locate printer xyz" when 
we turn it off and when we turn it on it says "hiding printer xyz"

The other thing to look for is to insure the zone your printers are in is 
not dropping from the network.   Use ATCON to look at the zone list and 
check the log to see if that zone is dropping on and off.

Also do you have regular Apple laserwriters or another vendors postscript 
printers.

In atps.cfg make sure you use -h (for hiding) not just doing atpshide 
all at the console and -g (to get a log file going so you can figure out 
whats going on)-Good Luck Adriene

   Okay, if I run the "regular" netx (3.26), then my private DOS window works
   fine. In fact, Novell in general is great. However, all the TCP/IP stuff loses
   contact with the network. No errors, they just can't communicate. Similarly, my
   machine is no longer pingable from outside.

   Global DOS windows and OS/2 windows work fine in both instances (though you
   can't seem to boot 4DOS as a global window).

   I have two boards in my machine, and if I set each product to use their own
   board, everything is hunky dory. Unfortunately, I need the other board for a
   network monitoring program and I don't really have the slots to put a _third_
   board in. (BTW, anyone successfully used a Packet driver-driven Windows program

   Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Just a couple of days ago, mr. Oleg Vishnepolsky of IBM stated 
( in the Netnews newsgroup  comp.os.os2.networking) that

a) this was a known problem
b) it has been solved by Novell and IBM in cooperation
c) the IBM solution has not yet been released
d) the Novell solution is a new ODINSUP

However, i could not find a version of ODINSUP dated sometime in August (?)
on sjf-lwp or ftp.novell.com, nor netlab2.usu.edu.

So, if only someone from Novell (or JRD ) could comment on the whereabouts
of this file, both of us (and countless others) could make Novell and
TCP/IP work on a single board.

Just disable the Watchdog facility in the 3.11 server. It does create problems
if the network traffic and server activity is extremely high.

We have a 7.2KVA BEST, and as the name implies, I think it
is the best! Seriously, we did a lot of critical reviewing
before we purchased ours and nobody came close in quality
and support. They are not cheap, but after having ours
2 years, I'm very impressed.
