Another theory that may fit better with losing TWO entries each time:
There is a critter called the DEFAULT login script that is run for any
user who has NO personal login script.  I believe this DEFAULT login
script is documented in the red manuals somewhere as doing a MAP
S1:=SYS:PUBLIC and a MAP S2:=SYS:PUBLIC%MACHNE%OS%OS_VERSION or
something like that...in any case it tries to create two search drives
at the beginning of the path (note, NOT "MAP INS", so it overwrites
existing PATH entries, rather than bumping them over).
   The workaround is to make sure that everyone has a non-empty personal
login script.  I've been told it can be as simple as a space
character...I personally would prefer putting in a REMark statement in
each just so I could SEE what I've done.
  P.S. Once upon a time, Janet Perry of Novell mentioned on this
list that making sure a non-empty login script exists for everyone
helps to plug up a potential security hole.  I'm not sure what that
security hole was, or whether it was limited to a particular version of
LOGIN.EXE, but you can be sure that that led us to double-check here
that we gave everyone a non-empty personal login script.

Have you used RPLFIX.COM ? You'll probably need this if you boot proms are 
not the lastest releases. Read the DOS 5.0 tech notes for more info.

   We have ArcServe 4.0 running on our Gigatrend units and have good luck
   as long as we do not format the tapes for adaptive interleaving.  We format
   the tapes to use contiguous blocks instead of streaming and then filling
   in the blanks and all is well.

   I suggest that you call Cheyenne up and talk to Janet Florentin.  She
   is real good and has the right internal contacts.  She will follow up
   with you.

   Call Cheyenne at 516-484-5110 or 800-243-9462   ask for X 429.

   (other folks might want to keep this contact number handy in case they
   need it).

Novellists --

Thanks for all your responses, everyone agreed that it might be incorrect
cable (msot likely not the problem as their networking guy is an Ethernet guru
back through Bob Metcalfe days), or improperly done cable ends.  I suspected
that was the case, but I didn't crawl around to check.  Most everyone said that
you should use good quality cable and BNCs and not use el cheapo crimpers.  The
other suggestion was to use an ohmeter to check the cable runs.

Thanks for the help.

The Mac Classic is not capable of using and internal Mac ethernet
card. You must look into either a serial port to ethernet or a
scsi to ethernet device. Dayna Communications, Inc. has both
a serial to ethernet and a scsi to ethernet connection for the
Mac Classic. They can be reached at 801-531-0600 for any additional
information you may want. The scsi to ethernet connection is named
SCSI/Link and the serial port to ethernet product is named
DaynaPORT E/Z. Retail prices for each are around $399 but give
us a call to make sure.

        ECB is Novell's IPX Event Control Block, meaning the structure holding
a packet and associated bookkeeping details thereof, what can be thought of
as a transmit or receiver buffer. In simple terms the error msgs above say the
station ran out of them and needs a larger allocation.

Subject: Booting remote with ODI shells
Organization: Indiana University
Date: 13 Apr 92 21:04:57 -0500

Recently I got to install ODI drivers and ODIPKT on a roomful of PCs using
a NetWare 286 server (v2.15).  The PCs are IBM model 30s with 3C503 cards.
The ODI drivers work fine from a floppy (both for NETX using IPXODI and
CUTCP using ODIPKT).  Attempts to boot from the proms using a bootable image
created using DOSGEN (and loading RPLODI after LSL) result in ">" chanracters
marching across the screen.  The PCs are running DOS 3.3 (we're not using[
RPLFIX).  The server as I mentioned is running NetWare 286 v2.15.

The ODI drivers are from the latest ODIUP5.ZIP.

Order of loading:

LSL
RPLODI
3C503
ODIPKT 0 96
IPXODI
NETX

NET.CFG:

Link Driver 3C503
	Frame Ethernet_II
	Frame Ethernet_802.3
	Protocol IPX 0 Ethernet_802.3
	Protocol IP 800 Ethernet_II
	Protocol ARP 806 Ethernet_II
	Protocol RARP 8035 Ethernet_II

I'm unfamiliar with both booting from proms and NW286 (instead of NW386).
But I thought I was generally on the right track here (since booting from
floppys works OK).  Any ideas?

 Is anyone aware of any other possible reasons (other than user error)?
 We've had a dbase file lose its complete set of records overnight, with
 the actual file remaining on disk but empty!  I hope it's not a

phase ii - install additional 75 nodes and upgrade existing utp wiring.

if you have had good experiences with switchable tr cards, i would appreciate

my main concern is the ability to manipulate interrupts and i/o address space

If you select a novell network when installing Windows 3.1 (easy will do it
for you automatically if it finds it) a IPX.OBJ and NETX.COM will be placed
in the directory that windows v3.1 will be placed.

You can manually also expand it, its on disk 3 or 4 I believe.

When/if you get windows 3.1, make sure to read the NETWORKS.WRI file in the
windows subdirectory.

Subject: PS/2 ESDI Drive Problem w/ Netware 3.11Re: Colorado Tape Drive & SBACKUP?
Summary: ESDI, Netware, 3,11
Organization: National Institutes of Health, Bethesda
Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1992 14:51:47 GMT

	We've got an ALR Microchannel server (Powercache 4), 486/25,
	16MB.  We've been running a 300MB ESDI off the standard ESDI
	controller that came with the machine for quite a while now.

	Recently we wanted to upgrade it with another 600MB ESDI. So
	as not to interfere with our precious data, I decided to test
	the new drive by removing the old one and formatting the new
	one with the Western Digital LL7FMT.EXE (PS/2 ESDI low level
	formatting program). [the controller is the WD1007V-MC1].
	After performing a low level format on the new 600MB, the
	system still didn't recognize it upon rebooting, so I thought
	I'd gotten a bad drive and went to put back the old 300MB ESDI
	drive that we'd been using.

	Every thing seemed to work, well, as the server did boot up,
	and I was able to log onto the network with my workstation.
	However, now, the next morning, the drive isn't recognized at
	all.  The Microchannel configuration utility claims there's no
	ST506-type drive installed in the system.

	It almost seems as though the information from the new drive
	that I tried was somehow "stored" in the system (WD ROM?) and
	now it doesn't like the old drive.  Is there a way to purge
	this information?  Any chance I can get my old drive back?

	Sheesh, why do these things always happen on Monday?

	If anyone has ANY ideas please email me...or reply....

	Sean
