Hi
the auto-login feature is part of the Chooser of the Mac. To get it to 
do this for you (or to stop it!:) go to the choser, select AppleShare, 
go thru the login process and when you get to the selection dialog 
that asks you which volume to mount, you will see a check box to the 
right of the volume name. In your case this will be checked. Just 
uncheck it and the automount problem will go away. If you want automounting 
but the user has to type in a password, re-check the box and 2 radio buttons 
will popup at the bottom of the screen. Select the one to only remember the 
username ( the remember the username and password option is what would have 
been selected before ). This will get it to prompt for a password at boot.
***NOTE***: You said you were worried about security, well all this auto-
mounting is an appleshare thing, this means that the Netware UAM cannot be 
used with it, so the passwords are passed down the line to the server as 
CLEAR TEXT!!! But don't worry, apple made things much harder for would be 
crackers of your system - there are at least 10 bytes of junk between the 
word "password" sent and your clear text password!! ;^)

it's a Packet "virtual" at least l see it that way, then you can load
any TCP/IP software that suport packet drivers from Clarkson University.
Using NCSA for example you can emulate a terminal in a unix box from your
Novell workstation ( even if your workstation is a diskless ).

I don't happen to have an RS/6000 sitting in front of me, so my facts
may be a little off.

However I believe all you need to do is run SMIT, select Printers
and follow the menus until you can define a remote printer. At that
point you would enter the IP Name of your NW server, and the remote printer
name. The remote printer name must be 7 chars or less under AIX.

   One way to decrease list traffic is to make users are aware of how to

I'm sorry I can't help you with a solution, but I know that if the printer
doesn't like anything at all about the format of a postscript job (I'm
assuming that you're running postscript off of the Mac) it will throw it
away and never indicate any errors.  This happened to us when we tried to
send a no banner command from a unix host.

I have written a program that sets the server's time (accounting for 
differences in time zones between the client and server) from a DOS client.
To get accurate time on my servers, I first get the time from a reliable 
source.  I use NAVYTIME, a program that gets the time from the US Naval
Observatory.  Then I iteratively run my program (STIME) against each of the 
servers on my internetwork (spread across several time zones).  Works great
costs only one phone call for 26 servers, and most of all, accounts for time
zone differences.

I've been looking through various lists but can't find the info I'm looking

some AppleTalk. What software would I need in order to be able to exchange Mail
between the Netware and the Apple networks. Our local network will be Netware
3.11 with the MAC NLM. The remote networks are mostly all MAC's. I'd like to

server for that to work.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

2) Should accomodate all users on Netware 3.11 server: PCs, Win3.1 & Macs.

4) Should send as well as receive FAX.
5) Etc,... (In other words we want to buy a state-of-the-art network FAX).

Anyone using a FAX with these most excellent features is pleaded with to tell

        Either those or have an Internet number assigned to that

        Straight to the Internet. The only regulations are such as
MUST have a legally assigned Internet number, no commerical use at
this time, etc.

        Your Domain Name Server should list an Internet name for each
Internet number assigned to machines. That's a local task. From a
Unix machine run program nslookup to see what's in any name server on
the Internet, including your local name servers.

I believe that NPRINT sends the file directly to the queue--it doesn't leave
the server. Similar to the way NCOPY works. COPY is going to copy the file
from the server to your machine. As it gets there, your machine will try
to send it to the printer port. It's intercepted by the shell which sends it
back to the server and into a queue. So, things to look for would be slow
network, slow board in the server or workstation, slow PC to begin with. Are
other file transfers slower on this server than on others? How about
printing from an application?
