Subject:      RConsole password

$You can also use a standard text editor (I use WordPerfect's
$Program editor) to edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF directly.  After "load
$remote" enter any password, but put an Escape character (ASCII 27,
$or ^[ ) in it (e.g. PASS<Esc>WORD, though it will probably look
$something like this:  PASS^[WORD ).  This renders that password
$unusable (since pressing the <Esc> key or <Alt>27 simply exits
$you out of the password entry window).  This way the ONLY
$rconsole password is the supervisor's password.

   I have two 3.11 systems on my network, and in neither case will the
password specified in the AUTOEXEC.NCF work.  Both servers accept only
the supervisor password for RCONSOLE.  There are no funny characters in
either password.

   While this is good for security, it sure looks like a bug to me.  Has
anyone else seen it?

Recently I placed a request on this LIST for information regarding a
software package. The question was totally unrelated to networking
and the result was that I received some rather suggestive comments
about what I should do with such postings.

To keep provacative mail to a minimum - is there a LIST of LISTS. ie
STATS, MULTIMEDIA etc. ie things that a network manager has to deal
with, but is not strictly networking.

Subject: Re: ODI (or any other setup) for 3C501 in IBM PC
X-To:         NOVELL@SUVM.SYR.EDU

----Original Message-------
   Has anyone been crazy enough to try and configure a 3c501 network card
in an ORIGINAL IBM PC as a workstation on a 3.11 network, running the file
server off a 486?  Well, I'm running into problems.  I've tried to go ODI,
but I haven't been able to get the right configuration yet.  My workstation
can't find a file server (it's 1 of 2 workstations on this mini-net I'm setting
up) when running NETX.  My other workstation (a 486) can find it fine.
All my ODI files are current.  I suspect the NET.CFG because I'm not sure how
to set the memory for a 640K machine.

<deleted text> -- End of Original----


A somewhat different (but related) problem has occured with our College of
Business network.  They run the 3c501's in all of the computers on the
network (excluding a few new acquisitions).

Regardless of whether they run ODI or the Clarkson packet drivers they
experience the "cannot find file server" error when logging in from any
PC, PC-XT class computer but can get in OK from AT class computers.  This
only happens when they have both of their servers active, however --
removing one of the servers from the network "fixes" the problem.

The solution that they have found is to run TRACK ON on one of the servers
(doesn't matter which one) and suddenly logins aren't a problem.  Makes no
sense to me but it works.

Anyone else out there have a clue??????

Subject:      OS/2 Requestor problem

I am attempting to set up the OS/2 requestor v2, and after the installation
process, when it reboots, all the requestor programs load with no errors.
However, at a certain point, I get the following error message:
           Unable to get connection ID
This message is displayed at the top of the screen in a text (rather than
graphical) based window.

I have an IBM token ring card in an IBM AT computer.

I hope this message is a common one, otherwise I will send a copy of my
config.sys file and net.cfg

I recommend you look into Chameleon by Netmanage.  Chameleon does everything
that Lan workplace for dos does (without the bugs LWP has) AND Netmanage also
sells an NDIS ipx driver for novell.  You can have your DEPCA and novell at
the same time.  There is no good reason for you to be stuck with a proprietary
standard like ODI when everything else seems to be headed for NDIS, especially
considering the bugs I have encountered with LWP.  Hope this helps.

   Arcnet Users                         Mac Users



 We have version 3.11 of Netware.
 The IBM 9370 is running also the TCP/IP software giving TCP/IP service for
 the users (workstations on the token ring are using packet driver for the
 token ring and Tn3270, Telbin and Ftpbin programs).
 Using Ipx packet drivers on the Arcnet side the Arcnet users are able to do
 the same (with a dedicated WS on the Token ring side running Net.exe). This
 way they are able to attach to the Novell server on the Token ring side.
 Macintosh users are able to attach to Novell server (the macintosh server is
 running Appletalk Internet router V. 2.0).

 My problem is the following :

   Is there any software for the Macintosh (Tn3270, telbin and ftpbin fo Mac)
   that will enable Mac users on the Localtalk to have Tcp/ip service passing
   throw the Mac server (with the use of a dedicated WS on the Token Ring
   side or a program on the Mac server) ?


Thanks in advance.

Hi,

     We have name space for MAC only on our secondary volume, but DOS apps
can still read it.  I've successfully shared a .DBF file between Foxbase+ MAC
and FoxPro 2.0 with both a MAC and a PC making updates in the same file with
the same indices open.  Note that the longer directory/file names could
confuse some DOS apps.  Your mileage will vary.

  You can reference DOS environment variables by enclosing them win angle
  brackets.  So your previous example would look like this:

     	IF <WKSTA>==PC THEN ......

  If you wish to place the varialb ein a text string you must precede it with a
  percent sign. (Like Novell's variables) and enclosed in brackets as in
  WRITE "THIS IS A %<WKSTA> TYPE WORKSTATION"

HTH!

I've been having problems with RPRINTER hanging occasionally if I Load

Is it because I don't have a copy of RPRINT$$.EXE

Have I accidently deleted it?

I have done this also, and it is just fine, but we have one application
that requires an environment variable set to equal its location as well
as requiring an entry in the search path.  Hence, if 
   map ins s1:=......
sets a search drive, it will be the next highest one that is left (z:,w:,
y:....).  It is this drive name that I need to set the environment var.
to be equal to.  It would be nice to be able to extract this information.

I worked for SMC last summer as a Engineering Aide, and I thought the
company makes pretty good products. Though I got the impression that
their programmers were getting slightly overworked, each had about two
driver projects running at the same time, not neccessarily related. I
was helping in Arcnet and Ethernet Concentrator alpha testing. I was
there just as they acquired Western Digitals Ethernet division, so I
only know a little about the Ethernet stuff. Working with the
programmers was interesting, they always tried hard to stamp out the
bugs that we found, but the more exotic the bugs we found the longer
it took to kill them, sometimes because other really wierd bugs would
be found and need to be killed. Here at the University we have gotten
several SMC cards and when there were problems it took about a month
for SMC to kill the bugs. When they work they work great, otherwise
it isn't a pretty sight.
From my knowlodge of the people I know they try real hard to kill all
bugs they find and try to do a really complete job of it. They try
for the best product possible and I think they do a good job of it.
