I *think* these symtoms are consistent with the Finder crashing and
being automatically restarted (I think the restart will be done under
system 7, at least if no other application is running  -- there are
some utlities/hacks that ask the finder to quit, and it is restarted
at some point. Which looks like what you say.)

This suggests the data structures the Finder is seeing are wierd and
cause it to die.

Short of stepping thru it with Macsbug, I don't know if you can confirm
this idea.

The basic premise behind server security is physically securing the box.   
Getting into a server by loading an NLM is pretty simple, you just have to  
keep prying hands off your server.  I mean, anybody can cause damage by  
just pulling the plug!

Date: Sun, 22 Nov 1992 18:31:55 GMT

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions!  Oddly enough, the
problem doesn't appear to have had anything to do with IRQs.

I set the forms line in pconsole to "1", sent a job, and found
pconsole complaining about "waiting for form".  This was reasonable,
since I didn't have any forms defined - I was just randomly changing
settings in the hopes that God would smile on me.  So I changed the setting
back to "0" so pconsole would quit complaining.  

The job printed inside of 3 seconds.

I've since sent 3 more jobs under two IDs with different privileges and
every one of them has printed in under 3 seconds.  I have no idea why
the forms setting would make a difference, but it did.  This was on a
version 3.11 newly installed on a Gateway 486DX2 50, with the HP3SI 
connected directly to LPT1, IRQ's set to "No", running off PSERVER.NLM 1.2.1.
If I RPRINTER'd the thing from a workstation, it printed fine, but it
took forever to print a job off the server.  No more than two workstations
were ever attached to this server at any point during the print-testing.

If anyone can tell me what the hell happened, I'd sure appreciate it.
Until then, I'm not touching that machine again until I find out what
mysterious flag I cleared by setting and clearing the "Forms" line
in pconsole.

Boy, I hope I never have to take that file server down :)

Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1992 16:44:28 GMT

I try to install OS/2 Netware Requester on a Machine with a SMC-card and 
OS/2 2.0.


The problem begins when I boot the machine, the system finds my SMC-card
and reports the right settings and right card number, but the system 
complains when it comes to "device=c:\netware\ipx.sys", the message is:

  Netware for OS/2 2.0 (220629)
  Protocol option: Novell IPX

  IPX0105: LAN support module not installed
  SYS1201: The driver c:\netware\ipx.sys on line 60 in config.sys has not
           been installed.

There are even more error messages but I guess they are a direct consequence
of this first problem.

Here is a short description of my situation.

Our Novell came with OS/2 Netware Requestor 1.3, and that version messed up 
my system. I have tried to get upgrades from ftp-sites (ftp.novell.com).

I Now use SMC-drivers v4.4, and I got Netware Requestor files from a file
on ftp.novell.com (nsd201.zip). After an installation i Have c:\netware in 
all paths, and the following Netware Requestor statements in my config.sys:

  device=c:\netware\lsl.sys
  device=c:\netware\smc8000.sys
  device=c:\netware\ipx.sys
  device=c:\netware\spx.sys
  run=c:\netware\spdaemon.exe
  device=c:\netware\nwreq.sys
  ifs=c:\netware\nwifs.ifs
  run=c:\netware\nwdaemon.exe
  device=c:\netware\vipx.sys
  device=c:\netware\vshell.sys

I havent found updates to all files, and that might be the problem.

BTW my machine is a 486/33 with 8MB RAM.

Ummm, guys?  I loaded that new security set, you know SECUT?.EXE and

the server level is 3, I can log in just fine.

However, if I set the NET.CFG signature level to 3 and keep the server
leve at 3, my access is denied in a heartbeat.

Mayhap the security document that got distributed is just a WEEEE bit 
incorrect?  Makes me wonder what the correct table of signature 
effects is.....  I sure don't want to down my server a dozen times 
just to find out.  Could anyone at Novell who might be listening
please tell me what's up?

I bet those guys in documentation have red faces ....  :)

There is a new product we sent out at the beginning of the month.  The
program is called LanLock, and it does software metering of DOS and Windows
applications.  It comes with a 60 day trial period so you can test
it before you purchase.  it is available from ftp.uni-kl.de in the
/pub/pc/novell directory titled lanloc11.zip.  If you do not have
FTP, I can mail you a copy in a UUencoded format.

I also noticed the following message in comp.sys.novell...

LanLock will let you do this.  you may set up a system such that one 
centralized license server does all the work, and have a backup server
incase your routing goes down.

LanLock can limit software on the user's hard disks as well as the 
file server.  It also has an optional logfile that can store usage data, 
and generate reports of software usage in minutes/hours/days for each 
application or user.  And it can even tell you which applications are
being overused, and the number of users that were not able to use
applications.

Feel free to give it a try, and send any suggestions/questions to me if 
you have them.

I agree!  I wrote one of the two NLM's that can be used to break into a
Novell Server.  There is no plug for this, other than securing your console
so the NLM can't be loaded (via direct, RCONSOLE, or XCONSOLE).

Want me to talk details?  I provided source code to a lot of people on
CompuServe a while ago.  It's really quite simple.

More to follow if requested...

not sure if they had problems with the apps before going with a server.  
The problem as far as I have heard, only occurs with WordPerfect 5.1.  

I will try to use the /nk option behind WP.EXE, but I just wanted to know if 
i'm alone on this one.  From what I hear, using WP.EXE with the /nk option is 
supposed to keep WP from messing with other keyboard interupt programs.

Isn't this just a characteristic of your hardware purchase?  I mean,
all you're saying is that you can get control of your machine before
NetWare does.  It's hard to fault NetWare for not doing something
before it gets control.

I don't know if any PC manufactures have done this, but it wouldn't be
too hard to prevent this type of attack.  Most PCs nowadays have a
CMOS configuration switch to force booting off the hard disk.  Just
require a password to change CMOS, and then without the password the
server should be unstoppable, shouldn't it?

Once you get this far, the direct break-ins would tend to be physical.
There's no end of physical escalation, so i tend not to worry about it
myself.  Even with solid software protection, "all" the enemy has to
do is open up the box, remove the hard disk, and put it in a machine
that's more "friendly".  Put a lock on the case, and the enemy has to
pick, pry, or burn it open.  Lock it in a room, he breaks into the
room...and the building!  Heck, put armed guards around it...he
*kills* them.  Ad infinitum.

This reminds me of Craig Everhart's axiom: *Never* put anything into a
computer or a network that you don't want anyone else to see.  Too bad
his advice isn't practical, even if it is sage.

this is only connectable to the local serial ports, I think I need
