I sent this once, but it appears to have gone undelivered.  I'll

I know this has been covered in the past, but I deleted the messages
at the time thinking "I won't be needing this."  Well ,now I do.
Could someone please explain to me how to automate the login procedure
such that the user will be logged on automatically when the machine boots
up.  I still wish to require passwords on all accounts, but would like it
to be entered (perhaps from a PASSWORD FILE) automatically.

Please respond  to me directly at

Thanks for all the responses! As a result of your postings I have
made the following decisions...

(1) sleep with the Utility Reference book under my pillow at nights
    until I have such a mastery of the subject that I too will be
    able to answer similar questions

and

(2) Use the one line net$log.dat file with an INCLUDE command in it.
    Although I read the Installation book about planning for Groups,
    and users etc., about how to set up a new server, I continue to
    find that during this "customization" phase, that there are lots
    of tweeks to the script file. Maybe real Novell administrators
    are better planners than I am?

again, thanks for the help
rick,

thanks for the offer, I do believe that I have found FIRMLOAD.COM
on the Novell diskettes... Now if I could only find documentation
on how to use it :-)

thanks!

Subject:      How to Deffer Printing

I am interested in any easy meathod of deffering printing on Novell
(printing at a certain time).  It would be nice to simply capture
with some command line that says print this after a certain time, but
I have yet to see this kind of option.  I am also interested in doing
it in Windows.  In windows you have to start printing and VERY
QUICKLY go to PCONSOLE and hold the job before it starts printing
then tell it to defer it (at least that's what I have found).  Any
suggestions?  Even printing from the command line (NPRINT ...) would
work if I can specify a time in the command somewhere.

Thanks for any help.

If you mean the Micronics NET3200 then I have a little warning - they
don't do ethernet_snap frame type, so you can't use them with Netware
for Mac. As we found out rather late.. :-(

Subject:      Wish list

We will be receiving some private donations for networking equipment
soon and I need to put together a list of "needed" equipment.  If you
did not have to be restricted to a budget, what equipment would you
by for your network?  Include anything that you can think of.  Think
of it as designing the perfect network.  Include servers, modem
pools, fax pools, anything.  Respond to me personally and I will
summerize to the list if there is interest.

The network software is NetWare.  Wiring is 10 Base T using David
Systems hubs and SMC Elite cards.  The network will cover three
buildings and have about 1000 workstations.  We have both SNA and IP
access to an IBM 3090.

Thanks for any responses.  Again, just respond to me so we can keep
the forum traffic down.

I have a user who has PC's on ethernet and an Apple Laserwriter on appletalk.
The two are connected via a fastpath box.

OK, here's the problem.

When the user is in Windows, some DOS programs that generate postscript
(Quattro Pro, for one) will not print correctly and all I get is a postscript
error banner page.

I have a capture command set up on lpt2 for postscript and on lpt1 for
posttext.  I can print from non-postscript programs for DOS just fine and I can
print from Windows programs fine.  If I exit windows and print the postscript
jobs to the same port those come out fine as well.

I am using the current versions of the network software.

Does anybody have a clue as to what I can do to fix this?

As far as I was aware you can edit the login file with a text editor
anyway and it is in sys:public as net$log.dat.

I know, and what's ethernet got to do with it?

I can issue a 'prog filename' to archie@archie.someplace from Compuserve mail.
When I get a list back with all the anonymous FTP sites & directories where
the file was found, I send a 'get' request to ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com, which
logs into the server as anonymous for me, gets the file, uuencodes it and
returns it to my Compuserve mailbox.

I do it all the time.

Scott, COMPAQ make an EISA board called the COMPAQ SYSTEM MANAGER. WE have
one installed in our systempros. I suppose it will work in any EISA bus.

Along with loads of other alerts, it will monitor the temperature in the
motherboard, and alert by: Voice; pager; modem; or direct connection.

It is interesting to note, our server room is at a constant 18 degrees
celcius, but the motherboard temperature is a constant 36 d celcius.

hope this helps

I think Glenn has essentially hit the nail on the head here.  The types
of electronic measures that you talk about are hardly good measures of
a productive employee.  You don't even need to argue the "1984" aspects
of this.  It fails on it's own merits.

The bindery is always open (by the server itself).  If you have a backup
program that also backs up the bindery, it has to ask the server to close
the bindery before it can open the bindery files to back them up.
If you have ever tried to open a non-shareable file to look at it when
it was already opened by someone else, you have seen the error that
is generated telling you that the file is in use.

We use Maynard's software to backup our servers, and the first thing it does
when backing up the sys volume is to request that the server close the
bindery.  It then backs up the three files that are called 'the bindery'.
During this time, (usually a short period), certain things cannot be done on
the server. (ie. login, edit user info, etc).  Once backed up,
the Maynard software requests that the server reopen the bindery so normal
server operation can continue.  This is probably not unique to the Maynard
software.

I would imagine that running bindfix does this also (although I haven't
confirmed that this is the case).  Since bindfix cannot read the bindery
files if the server has them open.

Using SYSCON accesses the bindery through calls to the server, and so it
is never directly reading/writing to the bindery files.  I can't
think of any SYSCON function that would actually ask the server to close/open
them.

The above description is very simplified, but I hope that it demystifies
the messages you were seeing on your server.

I remember seeing something like this long time ago.

Try the following if you haven't done it already:

*       Reboot the file server by turning off the power and then turning it
        back on.
*       Copy server.exe and all the relevant files to a different directory
        in your local disk and invoke server from there.

Good Luck!

About that `write job to que: no space left on device' message - I would guess
that the user or users affected have disk quotas set for them on the sys:
volume and have run out of it. Having 40Mb free would make no difference if
individuals have used up their quotas.

sjf-lwp.novell.com; I don't offhand remember the directory but they are there,
and they seem to work.

Subject:      MS Mail/SHARE ANSWER!!

Folks -

        I've gotten MS Mail for Windows 3.0 to work without loading SHARE
on the workstation.  Microsoft FINALLY got back to me with the solution,
which is kind of a hassle, but works.  Here it is -

        1.  Make sure the mail is being stored on the server.
        2.  Set your DOS environment variable TEMP to point to the server.
            (Mine is P:\TEMP)

And, WOW, it all works now.  I hope you all find this informative, though
cumbersome.  Thanks for all of the help I received regarding this.
