I don't have a full, hard plan but one thing might be to have Tackboard and the
user account in the same group, with only those two in the group.  This way you
could leverage the similarity of group for the two in terms of how Vines
relates objects in the same group with respect to security.

This works the other way in that you can keep other objects out on the basis
of the group affinity Tackboard and the user account have versus their
dis-affinity to the rest of the world.

Subject:      lost servers

I think this has already been asked and answered, but I could not find it in my
capture files, so please help me out again.

Our WAN has 281 servers.  Three ofthese are on an ethernet backbone..  recently,
 ServerB has lost touch  with some of the  others.  Servers A&C show 281
servers(on MNET) but server B only shows 265. Oddly, one of the lost servers in
is
server A.  If I Display neighbors on B, it will show A's serial number but not
its StreetTalk name.

What causes tthis problem and how do I fix it ??

thanks

Subject:      Print service access

How can let a user from another organization access one of the print services
on my server?  Configuring the service allows only one entry, e.g., *@*@ORG.
If I want to add just one user to that service, e.g., Doug L@Group@ORG, how do
I do it without having to change the one allowed entry to *@*@*?  A list can
go in there but lists won't let me put in *@*@ORG.  It wants only a name.
Helpful suggestions appreciated.  This is probably obvious, but I could use
the help.  Thanks in advance.

Novell, no routing server.  Login, random unless you hard code it (a

Mark, Jergen:

Again, I must disagree.  Vines isn't the "worst" as far as multiple
servers go, it's the best.  The problems you stated in AppleTalk and
Novell are PREVENTED by Vines' mandatory communications system.  I
think we can ask for whatever changes we might want, but I don't think
it's rational to critisize Vines for trying to be a WAN as much as
possible.  I think it is a very good thing that people can't put
isolated unconnected Vines servers on my network.

Set your server up with NO nameservers under the Manager Comms/TcpIp menu and
add the 7th item "Mail Forwarding IP Address:" to you SMTP config.  As there

NFS has basically no security other than you can export filesystems
read only.  

There is Secure NFS, but I haven't used it.

Hello fellow Banyanites,

I've recently installed 3COM EtherLinkII/16 TP cards in some IBM XTs.

Some of the cards were rev. D1 but most were rev. E.  With the rev. D1
card the 3C503BAN comm. driver takes 51360 bytes while the driver on
PCs with the rev. E card takes82064 bytes.  The loss of 30KB MORE on
these XTs is killing some applications.

Does anyone know of an update/patch or switch to 3C503BAN.COM that
will give back the lost 30KB.

Thanks in advance for any help!

We've also had some of this lately. (MSU's net consists of about 30 servers,
all LAN connected) Quite a nuisance, causing bounced mail, services
unavailable and missing people in STDA. We've fixed it by adding a dummy
group to the missing server, which seems to update Streettalk campus-wide.

Not sure where we learned this trick, somebody came up with it about two
years ago under similar circumstances. I'm hoping that Streettalk III is more
robust!

We are experiencing a similar problem right now.  Many users are
experiencing "VINES files: access denied" messages.  Yet when we check
the ARLs on their server "Venus", they are correct.  

We figure that the user is using VINES Files from another server (we have
34) that _is_ misconfigured.  So we run whatz from diskette.  It shows
VINES Files as residing on Venus, the local server.  Routing is also from
Venus.

So, we isolate that network segment from the rest of the net, and presto!
The problem goes away.  We reconnect the net, the problem reappears.

I restate here, routing and Vines files are shown as being on the local
server.  Yet when it's isolated, it works, and when not isolated, it doesn't.

We have now gotten reports of this happening on two other servers.  One of
which has been tested by isolation, which behaves the same as Venus.

The server giving us trouble is 5.x.  Clients at 4.11 on that net don't
give us problems (unless isolated, of course).

Mike...

I think the more appropriate question would be -- what the heck was happening
under 4.11 -- Vines Transport layer services have lots of error recovery built
into them so why was it not working under 4.11?

In my experience (last week) we had a bad fibre optic transciever, and it
affected our whole net (4.10 and 4.11)...

My outside-the-situation-$.02

Glad to see that you're problem's gone though...wish my global random

Subject:      re: Vines user groups in Nordic Area?

Pg 37 of the ABUI Network News lists the Norway group contact as

Dag Heim
Cinet A/S
PO Box 9913, Ila
0132 Oslo, Norway
47-2-371075

However, I believe that their new President is Bjarte Ravndal. His address etc
is:

A/S Smedvig Drilling Co
Lokkeveien 103, PO Box 110
4001 Stavanger, Norway
04-50-99-00

I hope that helps...

I assume you are not making any connection between the functionality of
SMTP, the routing option, and your telnet/ftp capabilities.
If you are going to use the server to route your client traffic, I
assume you have purchased the Ibanyan option of FTP's PCTCP package.
After all that is confirmed, you have to use the BSERVER program
to tell your client which server is doing the routing. Note that I
was familiar with BSERVER back on rev 2.04/2.05 of the PCTCP Ibanyan
product and don't know if has changed in version 2.11.

If you haven't purchased the product and read the manual, that would be
a good place to start. The routing option on the server alone does not
give you client functionality.

Subject:      Problem with telnet

We are brand new Internet users as of yesterday.

Our SMTP mail gateway is working great.

We have not been able to figure  out how to set the Vines routing options to
allow us  to telnet and ftp from our Vines DOS workstations.

Could anyone offer advice on this.

We've had the same problem.  Servers crash, we reboot and everything works
fine until the next time (which too-o-o-o often, although once is really too
often).

More data on our problem.  According to our comm people, the problem was due
to a flaky fiber connection to one of our backbone hubs.  They replaced the
cable and things appear to have stabilized.  Of course, I still don't
understand why only 4.11 clients were affected and not 5.0.  Is 5.0 that
bulletproof, it can even withstand physical layer problems?  Wow, I'm
impressed.

Again, thanks to all who responded with suggestions.
