Use Filer and make the .exe file Executable Only.  The only problem with
that is you wont' be able to do a backup of it.  If it ever becomes corrupted,
you will have to install it again.

Here at North Georgia College we have a few printers hooked to the parallel
ports of servers with nothing more that a 100 foot parallel cable between,
and we have never (in the past two years) had any problem because of it.

Subject:      LPR, LPD, VM/CMS systems, uggh ...

Greetings all -
    Having received, Netware NFS v1.2, I'm having some problems with
PLPD at the moment. Things are basically OK, in that I lpr a job from
a Unix machine and it appears on a printer attached to the Novell
server. When using lpr as supplied with the IBM TCP/IP v2r2, I need
to put a NOACK option on the LPR command on the VM/CMS system,
otherwise when the job prints I get a "Did not receive ACK after
close" message. This doesn't happen when I lpr (or rather LPR -- this
is an IBM :-) to a Unix machine .

The more serious problem is this: I want to set up a queue (serviced
by a laser printer) which only certain people can use. This is done
with a group in the Queue Users field in PCONSOLE (as normal). I
also want to export this queue using PLPD. Username mapping is set to
"Use Client Username as Netware Username". If someone prints to the
PLPD-advertised queue from a Unix (or the VM) system, an error
appears on the NFS log screen, saying invalid username (which is OK),
but no message gets sent back to the user on the remote system. Is
there any way of getting PLPD to warn the user on the remote system
if the job is rejected by PLPD?

We do not have quite this set up but something similar. We have two campuses
connected by a DEC TRANSLAN with an effective data thruput of 384Kb (We share
a 2mb link with the PABX for economy). We have Novell servers at both locations
and a CHARON 3.4 gateway for SMTP transfer.

The only problem with CHARON is that if one of the servers it handles goes
down it does not always recover. I intend no criticism of CHARON it works
well and we are grateful for it. We get around this by locating CHARON mail
gateways at both campuses but the SMTP mail agent is only on one campus.

I am ashamed to say we recycle the CHARON gateways periodically using a simple
electric timer switch.

If the link goes down, there is no trouble, the TCP/IP link to the SMTP agent
will recover and carry on. The SMTP agent will store the inbound mail and the
CHARON gateway will store the outbound mail on its master server. We have
had no problems with this at all.

Now it seems to me that if the link between the our two campuses were to be
a 'dial-up' SLIP link that came and went, the problem would be solved. How
you would get the dial-up SLIP link automated is another issue entirely. I
have tried a manual dial up link using PCBRIDGE, PCROUTE and KA9Q and have
had no problems, it all works fine.

BTW I have not implemented this system even as a backup as the link is not
supposed to go down, and given what we pay Australian TELECOM each year plus
the maintenance to DEC on the TRANSLANS (about +A$50,000) neither should it.

I am however suddeny very interested in low cost, high speed SLIP or PPP and
I will use the existing system as a test bed. Out of hours of course.

It's unlikely you can, since that'd possibly create a problem where
supervisor couldn't login, and that's a big no-no.

We are doing what you want to do, but there are a few points to be aware of
- Some Mac applications will not install onto the Novel Server because it
  is not a startup disk.  Therefor you will need to keep you appleshare server
  for some applications.
- You can not use ENA when wanting to auto mount at startup...Use the normal
  Mac login process as this enables you to designate the volumes to mount at
  startup..It also allows you to set your login and password to be sent at
  startup and therefor automatically login you in and mount the nominated
  volumes.  I do not like this method as it is a potential security hole as
  one only has to restart a Mac to gain access if the login and password have
  been stored in that mac.  To use the normal Mac login process you must not
  load AFP at the server with encrypt.
- Using the Novel server to manager users and printing and also disk space
  is very easy.  Printing may take a bit of extra time to set up but when it
  is it is more efficient as far as giving the users thier computer back to use
  instead of having to wait for the printer.

I have a network of about 250 Dos computers and 140 Mac computers all sharing
Novell servers and an appleshare server with about 2000 student users.

If you have any more questions do not hesitate to ask

Date: 24 Jul 92 23:27:58 GMT
Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J.

There are reasons for and against putting MAC namespace on your SYS:
volume.  If this is the only volume you have and you cannot add more
disk, the question is moot unless you plan on repartitioning your
drive.  Otherwise, consider:

  1. Do you have enough disk to effectively segregate the namespaces?

  2. Will you have users that access the server from both a Mac and
     a PC?  If so, you will have to have at least one volume with
     both namespaces for the home directories.

  3. Will you be using Pegasus Mail or another e-mail package that
     requires access to SYS:MAIL?  If so, you will need MAC name-
     space on SYS: to support Mac users of the e-mail package.

  4. Do you want Mac and PC users to be able to share files with
     each other, and/or accross platforms?  If so, you'll need at
     least one volume with both namespaces that all users can get
     to.

You could do:

  SYS:		Mac and DOS namespace
  HOMES:	Mac and DOS namespace
  DOSAPPS:	DOS namespace only
  MACAPPS:	Mac namespace only

But how would you calculate how much space is needed for each?

We experimented with the above, and after a few months decided to go
back to one SYS: volume and one U1: (aka: HOMES) volume, with Mac
namespace on both.  The separation between SYS: and U1: is SYS: is
ReadOnly for most users, U1: allows write access in the appropriate
places.  I see no overriding reason to change.

I amm trying to get remote booting working between a 486 machine and a 3.11 
file server. The machine is running DOS 5 and after creating the boot image 
I treated it with rplfix2 and every thing seemed fine. I set net$dos.sys to 
SRW etc. and rebooted my machine as instructed.

On the file server I put "track on" and sure enough the prom appears to talk 
to the server and vice versa but on the work station I get the error

"Error reading boot disk image file".

Any ideas, also do I need to load etherrpl on the server and if so does 
anyone know the syntax for binding it to the card because it fails every 
time for me with an unknown message about MILD?

Any help gratefully received, Thanks

Many people have experienced this problem.

If you call the IBM 1-800-237-5511 support number (You need to have

You will(hopefully) be contacted when(if) a solution exits.

Of much more use, in my opinion, would be a version of RPRINTER for the
vax so that any Novell user could print to any one of the vax printers that
are already distributed around this campus. I certainly don't want to print
to a printer connected to a Novell server in the next building.

I know FSS already provides this function, because this is all I use FSS for
now, (we migrated all the actual file services on to a PC server).
