Subject: Mac's on Novell
Date: 22 Nov 92 15:45:50 GMT
Organization: UNC Charlotte

We have a Novell network consisting of IBM compatibles.   However, in the
future, we want to be able to bring in our Macs - as part of the network.
From all the doucmentation I have read, it appears that this can be done.
However, my question is would the Mac files still "act" and appear as
Mac files  - I hope I am saying this clearly - In other words, all I
want is for the Mac's to be able to share network resources - I don't
want their files to be affected.  This is probably a simple question
but I can't seem to findit anywhere.  Also, if anyone is running
Macs and IBM compatibles on Novell, I sure wouild be interested
in knowing about any problems encountered.   (Novell 3.11)
 
I would also like to say that our Novell is relatively new and
Novell system administration is very new to me.   This BB has
been very helpful - and I would like to thank all of you who take
time from your busy day to post and help us novices.  One can read
all the documentation and all the magazines and one still learnes the
most from other users.  So a big, big thank you - Judy (AWP00JTF@UNCCVM)

Here's the situation.  We have 11 users sitting on the other end of
a campus fiber-net running TCP/IP.  They need to connect to our
servers.  They don't have a server.  I've heard that LAN Workplace for
DOS will allow individual PC's to login remotely to our servers.
  Is that true?

If not, what will?  I'm fairly newbie to the Novell LAN universe, so 
speak in words of one syllable or less :)  E-mail is appreciated. 
Thanks in advance.

  You do need an Adaptec AHA-1540 driver.

  MY experience with LanMan on TCP/IP was from the first release of the
product from HP, but I was very disappointed to find out that you could not
place clients on the other side of a router port.  LanMan was basically
implemented on top of NETBIOS and the TCP/IP implementation of NETBIOS that
HP used  would not propagate the NETBIOS broadcasts through the router
ports.

  Has this changed since MS took over the TCP/IP support?

We had a strange incident the other day, and wondered whether anyone
else has had similar experiences.

We are running a pretty vanilla 3.11 server. (PS/2 Model 80 SCSI)

A few days ago, around 9 in the morning, it appears as though an old
version of the bindery became active again.  People had passwords changed
from the current password to a password they had several months ago.
Likewise, accounts that had been created recently disappeared and
long-deleted accounts reappeared.  However, there do not appear to be any
changes in actual user files.

Any ideas?

Can anyone offer some advice on the following problem:

When our dot-matrix printers (Panasonic and Roland models) are connected to the
parallel ports on non-dedicated workstations (running RPRINTER), graphics are
printed out with spaces or missing spaces in some of the lines.

This has been occurring ever since we changed over from Netware 2.15c to
Netware 3.11. The problem rears its ugly head most often on WordPerfect 5.1 and
Lotus 123 versions 2.2, 2.3, and 3.0.

Our printers have all been set up to emulate these printers but none of these
configurations have worked:

	EPSON FX series
	IBM GRAPHICS
	IBM PROPRINTER

Text documents print out with no extra spaces/missing letters.

Printing to our postscript printers works fine.

We are currently running the following versions of software:

Filename		Version
LSL.COM	  		V1.00 (900530)
NE2000.COM		V1.10 (901129)
IPXODI.COM		V1.00 (900530)

Here is a weird one which has just shown up since I upgraded to DOS
5.0 on my Novell 2.2 net.
 
The network works fine except when a user tries to logout.
Occasionally the system asks to put a disk with command.com into the
boot drive when the user logs out.  Comspec is set in the system log
script ok.  After a long detective search here is the pattern.
 
If a user tries to do a DIR abc.def where abc.def does not exist
dos replies with a file not found. If they then logout the computer
spins the boot drive looking for command.com. If the user does the
same thing but runs any com or exe after the dir and then logsout
all is OK.  Weird! Anyone know why or how to solve.

Subject: XGATE/ CHARON/ Packet Driver / PROBLEM!
Organization: Operations Control Systems
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 1992 21:28:06 GMT

An XGATE/ CHARON question:

I am trying to set up xgate and charon to act as an SMTP <-> MHS gateway
for our site.  The installation, as documented in the xgate docs, went
fine.  I sent a message from the PC's (using daVinci email) to the gateway.
XGATE found the message and placed it in the smtp_in basket for charon.
When I run charon (using XCHARON), however, I get the folowing message 
sequence:

unable to open TCP connection to spuntik
TCP Error code is 2
SNICKERS/SMTP_IN Aborting Job 4

This repeats in an endless loop. 

I can ping the charon gateway and it responds.  I thought this might be
a permissions problem, but I can telnet to the unix box and connect to 
port 25 (smtp) from any of our nodes.  The inetd.sec file is also set
to specifically allow the gateway access to smtp.

I am using the latest packet drivers (10.x) and have no problems using the
FTP PC/TCP utilities (tn, ftp, etc..) when I load the kernel (ethdrv.exe) 
into memory.  I do not load the kernel when using charon, since they both 
seem to want to use software interupt 0x61.  

Is there something else I need to set on the unix box to allow the gateway
access?  Is there some setting or driver that I am botching on the 
gateway?  Is this a packet driver problem? 

I would greatly appreciate some help since neither the XGATE or CHARON docs
list this error message.

Thanks in advance...

Date: Mon, 23 Nov 1992 08:35:20 GMT

We are using LWP 4.0.1 as the TCP/IP transport provider at outr workstations. 

Currently we are mainly using the TCP/IP part of the package as a plattform for
different terminal emultators and PC based X-serveres.

However, we had a need to transfer data between a PC and a IBM
mainframe. Ay the
mainframe we have already insstalled INTERLINK TCP/IP software; FTP
should be easy
enough!

FTP works ok between the PC and a SUN workstation. SUN to MAINFRAME is
ok. But PC
(LWP) to MAINFRAME failes (The PC locks up).

The next step was to use another FTP client together with LWP TCP/IP. We
had Hummingbirds
FTP "at hand" and this product reports a "Protocol error".

To verify our suspisions, some other TCP/IP transport providers was
tested; DISTINCT
TCP/IP and PC/TCP. Neither reported any problems!!

Our conclusion is an error in LWP TCP/IP TSR!!!

Please inform me if any one else have experienced the same problems, and
espesially;
ANY WORKARROUNDS / BUG FIXES  ????

I'm having some trouble on my local area network with workstations finding
other servers than the one explicitly specified on the NETX line with
the /PS (preferred server) option.

I'm using packet drivers, with the appropriate Novell shells compiled for them.
Oddly enough, it seems to happen all over the network.  90% of the time, the
machines will log into the preferred server--the other 10% they'll hit a server
elsewhere on the larger net.  At those times, I know the preferred server
is on the net and accessible.

Anybody had any experience with preferred server switches NOT working properly?

I don't think that NetWare needs a back door either.  Any competant
technician, given full physical access and knowledge of one of the
"reset password" NLM's should be able to restore the system as it
exists now.  It just isn't something that needs to be be built in,
because it's already there.

BTW, in case you haven't guessed from my posts, I do work for a Novell
Reseller, and NW 3.11 is my favorite way to network PC's.  I'm
satisfied with the current level of security, combined with Novell's
continued updates to keep hack.exe etc. from working.

You can only use TCP/IP that comes with Netware 3.11 to either route

of UDP packets to still have IPX communication where there
is no IPX transport.

You can build your own applications that hook into the TCPIP protocol stack
by purchasing the NLM dev kit and C dev kit from Novell.

We have been using a Mountain tape backup system for several years with no

that the verifies are failing -- they are not saying that the tape copy does
not match the disk copy, but instead we are getting "File x not found on
disk", where x is often EVERY file in the backup.  However, sometimes this
error only occurs for certain small sub-directories.  And somethimes it does
not happen at all.

I have not noticed a problem finding or reading files from the fileserver with
any other programs, so I'm a bit stumpped.  Anyone ever notice similar

This wouldn't be a driver; it'd be a package running on the workstation.

Something like Sytos Plus would work, but it's slow (takes me 5 hours to
backup 1.6GB). We've got a copy of PowerSave, I believe it is, on the 
way; it's supposed to be much nicer (one of our customers uses it).

We have a Legacy 2200d DAT drive, which works fine.

Ted Morris (morrista@uc.edu) had the 'best' solution but it revolves around
VMS which we dont and wont have.

My understanding is that there is NO such solution but please enlighten me
if there is.....I would also like VTs access (but thats secondary).

May be your last point above is the only way to go. I believe the CD
