Subject:      Summary of Charon 2.0a tips
X-To:         Novell%SUVM.BitNet@pucc.princeton.edu

Several other members of the list asked for a summary of tips on how to
get Charon 2.0a going with an "Attach failed .... queue_name" error.
Following are the comments I have received to date (most of which I owe
to Cornell Kinderknecht - thanks!)

1) carefully follow the users guide (believe it or not!)

2) Do not use non-alphabetic characters for the print queue name(s) (no #s)

3) Define the print server you created in pconsole to be the queue server
   for each queue.
4) Set allow unencrypted passwords to ON

5) start Charon from a local disk - not a network drive

6) use the -u option in the command line of charon

7) enter the command line arguments in the proper order

8) load Charon on a PC that's already logged onto the network

Results so far -- Charon now loads without errors (the -u option
seemed to do the trick) but we are still battling the configuration
files.  Will post more as we learn if it seems important.

Thanks again to everyone for your help and comments!

Help!
I just downloaded charon 4.0
,<deleted stuff>... but the LPR spooling keeps giving me a
warning about the spool dir
<more deleted>.......
Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong? The charon print server is a member of
the charon gropup, and the charon group has full access to the directory
sys:home/charon and all its subdirectories.

End of Quoted text....................................

I, too am interested in talking ot folks who have gotten Charon 4.0
running.  I messed with 2.0 a little before (with LOTS of help from
you all on the list) but abandoned it for 4.0.  So far I can't get
4.0 running -- I'm sure it's some stupid, little thing that I am
doing wrong that maybe someone else has already figured out.

Here are my results so far .....

After sitting down with the system adminitrator for the uinx stuff for
several hours we have configured the setup files and managed to get
Charon to run without errors, but:

1)  The system messqage window gives two warnings when charon loads:

warn: Error 0x10fc when attaching to novell server
warn: Delay required to attach  (or something close to that)

2) The server status line in  the status screen of
Charon says "Connection - failed"

3) Sending jobs via the outgoing queue we find that the status
is "ready, waiting for print server (Charon, we presume).

4) If we run Charon from a disk it doesn't show up as a user on
the Novell server.  If we run it from a novell directory (using
loader) it appears.  (Still doesn't service jobs, though)

5) In pconsole we never get a "status/control" option for the
print server named charon, indicating that Novell thinks it is
"down"

It feels like we are ever soooooo close, but must be missing
something somewhere.

I think that it has been pretty well-established that BYU's IPX/SPX
implementation for the packet driver interface does not work (at least not
the SPX part), particularly when going across routers.  One solution, as
you said, is to GEN an IPX -- however, using ODI also works, and is a bit
cleaner.

Hi fellow netters,

I'm currently setting up VisiNet's automatic inventory function HQ-Scan.
 Unfortunately
there's no documentation to it included in VisiNet.

What I'd like know is how I could include the Workstations Autoexec.bat,

 VisiNet.

Any and all comments are welcome.

Thank you

We use Mylex LNE390A cards.  While that version is not 10BaseT we
are using thin ethernet from the hub but 10BaseT from the Macs to
the hub, they are supposed to have one out that is.  You might want to
give it a try because it has worked fine for us.

If you are compiling C code, (as opposed to C++) you need to have the
following line:

extern "C" {
            <nit.h>;            \\ Put whichever headers you use here
            <nwlocal.h>         \\ this goes among your other header
           }                    \\ files

This has something to do with the way C and C++ name their functions.
Also, you can't simply compile a file with Novell libraries--you must
create a project.  The project needs to include your source file and
one of the Novell libraries (make sure the library you are using and
the compiling memory model are the same).

These are the two hangups that most frequently catch me.

Good luck!

PC Week (U.K. edition) had an article some months ago about a test of SFT III
at a British site; however, all that was meant by `SFT III' on this occasion
was dual processor mirroring - two CPUs in the one machine, each running NLMs
etc, dividing the load between them and the secondary taking over from the
primary in the event of its failure. I think it was done in a Compaq. This
might be nice for some but it's not what I believed Level III would be.
Where are the `mirrored servers' we were promised so very long ago?

You are using your server as a router when using the 2 cards so you
will allways have this problem. (see track on/off)
But you can specify all ethernet II on both boards.

I got this when, on the server with the nlm loaded and the tape drive, I
put Reply to Get Nearest Server to OFF instead of the default ON. Changed

   I believe the list price on the Castelle LANPress is $695.  Most
   companies can get a 30 + % discount.  Therefore, expect to pay
   about $500.  Most hardware houses can get you this device.
   You get 1 parellel and 3 serial ports for you troubles.

   Castelle can be reached at (408) 496-0474 or (800) 359-7654.

   Yes, NetWare 4.0 will provide C2 authentication.

Subject:      Memory requirement formula question...

According to the "Set up the hardware" section of the File Server
Installation section of the Netware 3.1 install manual, the formula for
calculating memory needed for a volume is

for DOS only        (.23*Mb)/Block Size
for DOS+Name Space  (.32*Mb)/Block Size

These formulas have worked very well in the past.

My question is, is this formula good for one additional name space only?
We have a volume that we wish to add NFS name space as well as MAC.  Our
userbase is quickly becomming about 50/50 DOS/Mac.  We wish to be able to
mount a volume that has faculty read-write space via NFS to the unix
hosts.  In order to do this for the Macs, we have to add both name spaces.

Do I really need to calculate the memory requirement for this by something
like this...

(.41*Mb)/Block Size ?

I get the .41 by increasing it by .09 over .32.  Or does it need to be
about .48 or so because .32 is about 40% larger than .23?

We're looking to buy a big server platform right now and we need to be
able to calculate memory requirements properly before running into memory
problems.  Big meaning 2G or more of disk space, about 1.5G of that being
Faculty Data space.

Thanks.

Subject:      Odd things happening with PSERVER.NLM

Greetings all
    Some wierd things have just started happening (OK, over the last
two days) with PSERVER.NLM. The situation is this: two Netware v3.11
servers with print queues on each. The servers are called OLLAMH and
LEGBA. A print server process (OLLAMH_PS) is started on OLLAMH which
also serves a queue on LEGBA. The physical printer is attached to an
Intel Netport. I'm using PSERVER V1.22r (ptf 920303). Print server
configurations are as follows:

OLLAMH/OLLAMH_PS :  Printer 0 = Remote parallel, LPT1
                    Queue = PROJECT.LASER

LEGBA/OLLAMH_PS :   Printer 0 = Defined elsewhere
                    Queue = PROJECT.LASER

This has been working fine for some time. Last night, I noticed that
a job was sitting ready in the queue. An attempt to check the PSERVER
status using PCONSOLE left my PC sitting with a "Please wait ..." box
in the screen for about 20 minutes until I rebooted it. Trying to
unload PSERVER from the console caused that to hang (although I could
still switch to other console screens -- I couldn't type anything
at the : prompt). All this time OLLAMH_PS was connected to both
servers.

Having rebooted OLLAMH (the only way I could think of to get a :
prompt again), printing resumed OK afterwards. However, the same
thing has happened again. What gives? This is the prototype for a
large-scale printer integration system, so if this doesn't work we'll
have a problem. Can anyone shed any light or give some sage advice?
Thanks ...

PS -- both servers are running Mac support and the NFS stuff too,
but they don't seem overloaded.
