Subject: Sbackup problem, backing up two servers
Organization: Dept. of Computer Science, University of Ottawa
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 93 19:55:12 GMT

We would like to back up two Netware v3.11 servers using Sbackup
v3.11b by starting a job starts at night, unattended. Is it possible to
have sbackup do both servers on the same tape? (we tried without any
success).

The backup hardware is an exabyte 8200 tape drive, with an Adaptec
SCSI card.

We would also like to put more than one backup set on the same tape (2 Gigabytes...).  Yet if we try to append to a tape that already has data,
we get the following:

	Error 0xFFFA mounting media illegal parameter(s) 
	in command descriptor block, device sense=0000F045

Thanks for any help...

Hmm, known problem with 4.1? I had this problem with various SGs for ages

Maybe they've reintroduced a buglet? I don't run version 4.1 yet but it's

     Hello,
     
     I have heard that putting multiple NIC's in a server and using 
     internal bridging gives you better throughput than having only 1 NIC.  
     I heard also that you should have only 30 connections per NIC.  
     Someone from our LAN ops group said that internal bridging is slow and 
     since you have to put each NIC on a different segment you have 2 hops 
     from the root.
     
     Having multiple NIC's makes sense to me but I need more information 
     can someone out there tell me where to look.  I need some hardcore 
     data and/or formulas.

I am designing a database for use on a NetWare 386 LAN.  What I would like
to setup is a system where users enter information into a temporary file
stored in a directory they have RW access to.  Then after validation,
have the entry program append the transaction file to a master file
kept in a subdirectory that only the supervisor has RW access to.  Is
there a way to give a program file/subdirectory access that the user using
the program does not have?  I know this can be done under UNIX and several
other platforms, but don't see anything in my Novell reference about how
to do it in NetWare.

Theoretically, you should be able to use NTS/2's virtual LLC driver with
the DOS IBMTOKEN driver (may not work with ethernet) to run packet driver
apps in a DOS VDM at the same time as the NW Requestor (using ODINSUP or
ODI2NDI).  With Don Provan's PDETHER pktdvr-to-odi shim, you could run 
LWP in a VDM as well.  I haven't been able to get IBMTOKEN to work with
NTS/2 yet, myself.

80% of all Network problems can be related to the media.  I read
that in LAN Technology.... Hell, I've been quoted in Comm Week
saying it!....

Check the cables, Check The connectors, Check the terminators.....

Also, have you recently added a fourth repeater on a segment.

18 months ago, I had a Novell guy (CNE) tell me that Novell does
not have faith in the 4 repeater per segment spec.. He tells
me Novell likes to see a max of 3.....

Just thoughts.... Probably cable.... Have you got a Sniffer?
They are worth every penny....  

Isolate and eliminate until things speed up..

One caveat: if you use a netware server to route segements of your network, WFW workstations will not be able to share data between them.  --B

     What we supervisor-types do here at Western for ourselves is to
grant ourselves the extended options rights, or use the PMail utility
that lets Supervisors set extended rights for others (these rights are
PMAIL rights, not NOVELL rights).  The  PMail utility is called PCONFIG.
You go to the option 'grant extended feature rights' and select the user
name you are interested in (You probably will have to hit INSERT to add
the user to the granted list).  Hit return, and that user will be added
to the granted list.  Hit return again on the user and a dialog will
come up which will allow you to autoforward.  Just enter the
autoforwarding address (i.e. srp/markc, or whatever).  You can ALSO have
PMail autoforward to an INTERNET address.  You can then select toggle
options depending on your preference...and viola!  that account is now
autoforwarded, and no mail will go to that account.

Hope this helps!
Mark

Actually they patched 4.01, but forgot to roll the corrections into

Subject: dissallowing access to a server
Organization: Trent University, Ontario
Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1993 18:09:21 GMT

Hello,

We provide cdrom services to some public workstations in our library
from SERVER1.  Of course there are students who shell out of some of
these applications and login to another server on the net (ie: SERVER2
where they have an account).  We want to prevent users on the public
machines from accessing servers other than SERVER1.

As far as I can see there are two ways to do this;

1) A menu system which prevents shelling to DOS (even from an
application called from the menu).  I think Direct Access may do this but
I have yet to investigate.

2) Alter accounts on other servers to grant access only from designated
addresses.  This presents a significant management task which I'd like
to avoid - in fact it will be unmanageable.

Can anyone recommend a solution to prevent identified workstations from
accessing specific servers?

Thanks in advance...

Sounds like your program is trying to create a swap file in the root directory.
What you will probably need to do is use the MAP ROOT command to make the
working directory appear as if it is at the root level.  For example
MAP ROOT F:=SYS:USER\JOHN\MATHLAB

Then execute the Mathlab program.  I've never used the Mathlab program but
from your error message it sounds like that is your problem.

There should be software interrupts to provide pointers to ASCIIZ strings that will tell you this (or so I can recall).
