 Season greetings to all....


I am looking for a NLM that intalls on the console and will play
the role of a RARP servor. That is provide on request from a workstation 
the appropiate IP number. Ideal would be a relation between the IP number 
and the serial number of the Ethernet card mounted on the workstation ?
So my students wont be able to play with the configuration files (CONFIG.TEL 
and the rest...) that I have to put and maintain on every station. 

I am currently testing NCSA TELNET,WINQVT27 , TRUMPET and POPMAIL and
these products claims that they are able to get the IP of a station
by a RARP call ... 

Thanks ....

	G'day!

	When I DOWN the server (486dx 3.11), if I do a VREPAIR on SYS
	I *always* get 1000 or more errors.. 

	Oh, and I've also found that I MUST run VREPAIR *again* if I
	want it to 'fix' the OS/2 stuff and NFS.. sure makes life slow...
	(I've got MAC, OS2 and NFS loaded) HD is 1Gb, so the passes add
	up to 1/2 hour or so each time..

	None of the 'errors' are anything major - but they're always
	there.. I usually run VREPAIR every oh, 2-3 months..

	Even I *immediately* reboot after all the passes, I get warnings
	about 2 or 3 files being wrong length or somesuch..

	Does this ring any bells with anyone? Software? Hardware? ME? :-}

	Yes, it's vague - but the box is now sealed 'till 5th January,

I am interested in knowing more about the NetWare encryption you desire for
the Macintosh workstation.  Currently, we provide the encryption of
passowords through the NetWare User Authentication Method (UAM).  Are you
familiar with this feature?  If you are speaking of file or data
encryption, let me know what your specific requests are.  As far as login
scription capabilities, there is a third party product available called
MacLogin Script from Wholly Mac Software.  The Macintosh based application
reads NetWare login scripts and more.  Their telephone number is
702-878-3316.

I think what the original poster meant was to allow some way for the Mac
to automatically choose the encryption method (or to save a previously 
selected encryption method if possible),  so that for example volumes
may be automatically mounted upon bootup of a client's machine, which as I
understand things, cannot be done if one requires the use of the UAM.

This is probably more a problem with how Apple set things up to allow
alternate
UAMs than with how NetWare for Macintosh utilizes these functions.

By default, if your users don't have access to the DESKTOP files, they can't
permanently modify the desktop.  This is the default created by NW4Mac when
it's installed, so unless you have changed something, it shouldn't be a
problem.  (I could be mistaken.)   My experience has been that users can
change the desktop during a session, but when they log back in or re-mount
the volume, they will find it in the state last created by a
SUPERVISOR-equivalent user.

We're running 311 on a 486 with a pair of 200M IDE drives (a Maxtor
and a Western Digital).  We've only been up about 4 weeks now.
The Maxtor has had 7 blocks redirected, and the WD 1.  This strikes
me as strange, as I thought that IDE drives did internal
read-after-write and redirection, transparent to the drive-user.
Any comments?

Could this possibly be related to a "lost hardware interrupt"
problem that we still haven't managed to resolve?

With all the flurry of software upgrades for Netware security on DOS, Windows

it would be nice to have better support for security here.  I would like to
see automatic use of netware encryption on the Mac client, at a minimum. Also,
a login scripting facility, with a command similar to MAP ROOT.  I have a need
to make certain software believe it has write-access to the root directory of a

The problem is that when I use the "Verify Password"/"Verify Bindery Object
Password" call on a NW 3.11 system it fails and the file server complains that
an unencrypted password is being used.  When I type: 
"Set allow unencrypted passwords=on" at the file server console then my call
will work.  So I was wondering how I set up an encrypted password call for the
Verify Password.

Actually, from my reading of the article, (a little sidebar on Page 24 of
the 12.14.92 issue) the conclusion that Novell will end support
for native AppleTalk is one that appears to be drawn by the writer 
of the article. The statements by Steve Nelson appear to state that 
MacIPX will be another method for clients to connect to NetWare servers.

That is probably why it's in beta testing as of January (according to

I don't know of any program that will do this, but cobbling together a bunch
of utilities would make it quite simple.  If you have IP that can connect
everything together, you can use PING to see if a server is up.  If not, you
can use LOGIN to a dummy account, say "isup" and immediately log out, such
that you won't get the message "blah blah error accessing server" when it
DOES go down... and then if any of the error levels indicate that it can't
access the server, you can use one of those "dialer programs" or even a
script with a normal comm program...  even display a different number for
each different server.  Who knows what you could do.  Just play with it and
see what you come up with 8>

I don't know what can be done about the power outage, though...that might
have to be a special utility or something.

I just had this problem a few weeks ago in a router configuration, and it
took quite a while to find it.

According to RFC 950, you can't have a subnet address of all zeros or all
ones.  In *your* case you have a subnet of all zeros.   

So your valid host address will be from 65 to 191.   

If you need more than two subnets, or don't want to subnet further your
going to need to get more class C addresses.  I have reluctantly determined
that thats what I have to do.  There just isn't enough address to properly
subnet for people stucl with class C addresses.

Another option would be to use bridges, avoiding the need for subnetting 
completely.  There is the Public domain PC Bridge which should fit your
needs, but yo have to dedicate a PC to each bridge.
