Greg,

May I my voice to all the people heaping praise on you for releasing XUSERS!
It is such an improvement on USERS and has already tracked down a number of
problems (Mac users using different versions of the INIT, to name but one.)

If you are enhancing the program, here is my 2 cents worth.

Other Requests already seen:

	Ethernet Address                   - Yes Please
	/? for Help (as DOS 5.0)           - Yes Please
	Multiple Streetalk Search Criteria - No Thanks (I can easily write a
					     Batch file)

My request:

	Support for Nicknames (as the USER program does)

        Current Situation (Version 1.0)

		USERS "Paul Simmonds@CODAS@JET"  -  Works
		USERS "ps@codas@jet"	         -  Works

		XUSERS "Paul Simmonds@CODAS@JET"  - Works
		XUSERS "ps@CODAS@JET"             - Fails

Thanks again for a great program.

Regards

Paul Simmonds
VINES Network Manager

As far as I know, CNS's require drives from Banyan; these drives have a Banyan
signature on them.  If you used Vines for ISA/EISA machines, you could buy your
own drives.

Kelly;
	We use Brian Sullivan's LPD, not the UPRINT, but did have to do one
thing to get it working with Hewlett-Packard HP-UX workstations. In their
menu-driven configuration for adding remote printers, there was an option that
says "Remote printer on a BSD system? (y or n)". This is what worked for us on
the HPs. Perhaps there's something in AIX that matches this.

Subject:      Sockets for Vines 5.x

I was checking around with MNET and saw that the socket use on a 5.00(5)
server was at 81% out of 300 configured with an high water mark of 251.  This
server has 10 print services (8 PCprints, 2 serials).  Each of these print
services seem to be taking up 10 Sockets; that's 100 sockets of the configured
300 used for printers!

Does anyone else see that the printer services taking up 10 sockets?

Does anyone know the reason why the printer services would take 10 sockets?

Is there a way to increase the number of sockets?

The "Monitoring and Optimizing a VINES Network" only shows a maximum of
300 with a default of 200.  The manual order number DA297-00 January 1992.

It is interesting when Vines 5.x increases the number of printers from 10 to
20, it failed to mention that each printer takes about 10 sockets.

Please confirm my figures.
Thank you

DOS 5.0 workstations are supported on Vines 4.11

Two caveats exist for a DOS 5.0 workstation in a VINES
Network:
1. Do not use the /H switch on the resirectors.
2. The DOS 5.0 task switcher may not work with some
applications (I've found that to be mostly Vines
applications that don't work)

To be fixed in Vines 5.5 we have been told.

We don't what happened but rebooting allowed us to start newly created services
on all servers.  If you stopped a running service you were in deep kimshi also.

After dialing in to one server, a Banyan specialist said a script file was
corrupt.

The logs said that a service .db file couldn't be written to.

Monotonically increasing, means that the number will always increase and never
be the same as the last.
First number is 1, next is 2, then 3, and so on.  (Could skip numbers too,
just as long as the new number is greator than the previous.)

Subject: Vines TCP/IP problems 
Keywords: TCP/IP 
Organization: Physics Department, University of Utrecht, The Netherlands
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1992 22:56:24 GMT


We have ran into a problem of which I would like to known if anybody
has experienced something similar.

One of our Vines servers (Olivetti XP7, Etherlink Plus interface) running
Vines 4.11 (5) with TCP/IP routing en SMTP mailgateway (version 1.14)
(last software upgrade about 2 months ago) started generating kernel traps
(panics) type 0x0000000e, every time at the same page fault address.
No error messages in the server logs. This occured last week.

After reboot (yes, fsck takes a lot of time) the traps returned,
first with an interval of about 1 hour and later within 2 to 3 minutes.
All information I got about the trap type was 'has to do something with
hardware/memory' so we started to swap hardware (memory, motherboard, ethernet
controller, power supply and the disk controller). 2 days work and the
traps were still there. We did not swap disks.

Then we tried the other way around and disabled the TCP/IP interface because
the server did not crash when disconnected from the net. No traps! 
(stopping the SMTP gateway did not help).

My conclusion at the moment is that some kind of TCP/IP packet type is
generating the crashes. Trying to scan the net for any suspect packet
is very difficult (average 20 % ethernet load, 400+ nodes and every reboot
takes 15 minutes) so we migrated the TCP/IP and SMTP options to a server on
another part of the net (router in between). No problems anymore.

I would like to hear about any similar experiences. This type of problems
has happened before (I have seen PS2's running AIX generating packets
which introduced kernel panics in HP workstations).

We have the beta release of VINES for OS/2 2.0 client but we also need some
software from IBM. The Vines documentation refers to an IBMCOM diskette.  Does
anyone know where to get this diskette?  What's the status of this product
at the moment?  Is is close to being released?

Can you help us ?

Thanks in advance!

Elizabeth F. Miller,

I hope this is still timely, you didn't seem to score many answers.

On Csus.Edu the file /pub/banyan/win/vines31.drv (or name close to that)
fixes most problems we have experienced with Win31.   I think it is a
copy of the Vines.Drv from 4.11(5) or 5.00(5) and has proven to be very
stable with Win31 but slightly troublesome with Win30.  I have people
copy this file into their \WIN\SYSTEM directory and edit there SYSTEM.INI
to use VINES31.DRV instead of the Z:\VINES.DRV

I had to put the FAQ on hold for a little bit while I was going to Tech-I
and Tech-II.  I'm going to be taking my CBE certification tests within
the next couple of weeks and then I will resume work with the best
possible speed.  I apologise if I left anyone hanging.  I thought I'd
posted a message.

I've just recently setup an AST 486 EISA Server using an IDE boot drive, a
 760MBSCSI drive and a DAT tape drive (DPT Smartcache Controller).  I initially
 had some trouble which I thought was due to the unusual configuration, but
 instead turned out to be a bad SCSI drive.  The system works great!!!!  It is
 however, not a certified configuration.

We also are looking for ArcNet Pocket Adapters (for more than 1 1/2 year now).
The last information we got from XirCom : the drivers (NDIS, I think) for the
ArcNet Pocket Adapter II are in Beta-test and will be available at the end of
THIS year.
(information from XirCom Europe, Antwerp, Belgium!)
Can we believe this??
