No, I didn't consider it to be a flame.  

Please correct my original note to be a simple request for a feature
enhancement.   And I apologize for offending you.  Please do not add any
flames of your own.

Hmm, I'm using netx, and I think my shell level is 3.26.  

Let's see if you can duplicate this way:

1)	Create five files named t1-t5, whose contents are one word: hi
2)	Issue this DOS command under DOS 5.0:
	for %f in (t?) do copy %f lpt1:

On my system the above sequence gives this output:

hi
 hi
 hi
 hi
 hi

And all of this appears on a single page.

If you cannot duplicate using the above sequence, then I deduce that the
defect may be in my print spooler (LaserTools PrintCache).

Nevertheless, pull away from the specifics and address the big picture:
this is a problem for some number of Novell customers.  Given that it
takes *no* time to add a feature to endcap to flush the queue, there is no
objective reason to not add the feature.  To focus in on what well-behaved
DOS applications should do is, unfortunately, not a solution.

The libraries in question aren't Novell Libraries, they're Compu$serv libs.
It just so happens that all the stuff in the first 11 comes from Novell,
and Compu$erve can't stop Novell from posting them anywhere else they want
to, so Novell makes them available by FTP, in the same order that they are
available on Compu$erve. Now, if everybody who had posted utilities on
Compu$erve also had access to the internet, and the could give them to
Novell to put on Compu$serv for them, then Novell could also make them
available via FTP. That's why some of them _are_ available by FTP.

If I was to download everything posted on Compu$erve, and make it freely
available on an FTP site somewhere, Compu$erve would loose a lot of money,
so they specifically don't allow you to do that. In fact, I seem to remember
that there was some hassle over Novell using the same organisation of files
as was used on Compu$erve, but I don't recall exactly.

The packets are *not* encrypted on the wire. Only the passwords are, unless
a command to use unencrypted passwords is executed in the server. Normal

I am looking for Novell drivers for an old Ethernet card I inherited.  I am 
trying to run PC-NFS or NCSA on it.  A call to Novell informed me that those
cards were made by either Eagle or Microdyne.  The guy at Eagle thinks its one
of their old cards because of a string of numbers on the front.  

Anyhow, I guess I need the drivers to get it to NDIS standard for PC-NFS to 
run.  I have only one disk from Novell and it is full of .obj files, not 
executables.

Can anyone help me get this Novell card running?  Do you know where on the
Internet I can find the drivers to get this PC on a TCP/IP network of Suns?
I found the NE1000D.ZIP (, etc.) files at vax.ftp.com:/ndis, but I don't
know how to use them.  Will the Spry or Sysconnect drivers do me any good,
what is there cost?

Thanks a lot,

Hello-
I am successfully using Netware NFS v1.2 revA to do Unix to Novell 
printing.  To date, I have only been exporting 1 print queue, however I need 
to add another.  My initial configuration was to use the single account 
mode, which is what I need for that particular queue.  Now, though, I need 
to set up another queue which I only want certain unix users to be able to 
use.  It seems to me that mapping usernames is done only once, not once for 
each queue.  Please tell me that I am wrong... it doesn't make sense to me 
that this should be the case.  There must be something I can do.

I think that the term for those who engage in criminal activities is
"crackers" and not "hackers" since you seem to be implying that they
are doing something wrong.

As a netware sysadmin I wish that there were more responsible hackers
out there capable of testing netware's supposedly good security
and thereby forcing them to shore up their product.

I want to know about these holes.  Keeping them off of the net is the
_worst_ thing to do.  The more I know the more I can do to secure my
system.  And the more exposure such holes get the more important it
becomes for Novell to fix the problem.

From what I understand the files in directories 11 and up are shareware.  
If this is true then there would be no problem setting what would look like 
a mirror.

However paragraph 8 of the Business Account Appication and Agreement 
specificly prohibites downloading the files from CompuServe and then 
redistibuting them for commercially gain.  The exact phase is below:

Except as expressly permitted in the operating rules, neither the Customer 
nor the Users may commercially exploit or reproduce, redistribute, 
retransmit, publish or otherwise transfer any information which the Customer 
or the Users receive through the Service.

This would prohibit Novell from setting up the mirror since it could be 
seen as commercially exploiting the info.  From my reading of it, It would 
appear that there is nothing to prevent a non-profit group from setting up a 
free FTP server with the files.  

If there are any Lawyers out there maybe we could get a better interpatation 
of the paragraph.

You are in fact correct, you need software that supports NASI directly to use

some of the NASI commands by using a small freeware program called TTY.  It is

TCP/IP, IPX, and SNMP

I am trying to get TCP/IP to work over a Novell 3.11
router.  It seems to be working, but we have a network
management tool called "SmartHub Manager" from NCR that
sends SNMP requests to the Hubs.  I am trying to get the
request over a router.  I have looked at the packets sent
out with LANALYZER.  Here's what seems to be happening.
The Hub Manager sends out an ARP request with the HUB's ip 
address in it.  Nothing ever responds.  I am assuming that
the router is to respond back, but it isn't.  I have put
the LANALYZER on the other segment to see if any traffic 
from the Hub Manager is being sent, but it isn't.  Finally,
The Hub itself is sending Trap's to the Hub Manager, through 
the router, and the Hub Manager is receiving them.

If anyone can help, please contact me. thanks in advance.

Yes, it will work fine over ODIPKT.  However, ODIPKT and LWP4DOS's

	Basically all release versions of NetWare. Note that packets are not
encrypted on the wire. The best is returning an encrytped password (to
circumvent the most common wire tapping method). Unfortunately we have to
turn off encryption to permit many packages to run. Novell sells the small
module to do encryption but few pkgs use it. So one might say this is the
largest security hole of them all and the easiest for sophmore level students
to implement.
