I'm sorry I didn't actually state my point, that being that there's
nothing Novell can do to prevent physical access, so it's a matter
of "when does your information become valuable enough to warrant
the effort of a physical breakin, and should you make an effort to
make that more difficult?"  For most purposes, Novell is quite secure 
all by itself, as long as the office you work in would notice a
person sitting down and playing on one of the workstations.  Even
then, proper security will stop most of the hack attacks.

HELP!

I recently upgraded our version of Novell menus from 1.23 to 2.30 (on
a 3.11 server).  In the process, everyone who uses the menus lost
about 80k of base memory which is causing major problems.  My question
is why does the later program use up so much more memory and is there
anything that can be done about it?

Also what alternative menus are there and are they any good?

Apologies if the first questions are FAQ, but the third one isn't so there.

Sorry, there is allmost none, the only thing you can try, is to flag
the .EXE and .COM files to eXecute only. They can't be copied then, but
they might not work either. For precautions to be taken: read the manual

Hi,

I am not quite sure I understand the problem here.  It looks like you have 
successfully used some of the ATPS option flags.  The -h command is used
to change the printer's NBP type from LaserWriter to LaserShared.  Subsequently,
all printers that were hidden should not appear in the chooser.  That is what 
should happen, and it sounds like that is exactly what IS happening.

You were also using the -wf command which hides the queue from the Macintosh
as well.  It sounds like that is working too.  Maybe you should remove ALL
of the commands in the ATPS.CFG, UNLOAD/LOAD ATPS.NLM and re-start the printers.
You should then be back to your original state.  Then add you commands back to
ATPS.CFG (one line --even one option at a time), and re-LOAD ATPS.NLM.  This
will give you a good idea of the effect of each of the command flags you intend
to use.

If you use BOTH the -wf AND -h command flags, you will hide the queue AND
the printer from your Macintosh clients.  Your DOS clients would still be able
to use this printer since they are not affected by these commands.  It appears
to me that this is what you have done.  Do you really want to do it?

Let me know if you have further trouble finding your printers...

Think Peace...

You don't indicate how big the server's disk was, so it's hard to say if
16MB was adequate to support NW4Mac and reasonable disk buffering.  16K is a
pretty big block size (4x the typical 4k blocks), so might affect buffer
performance.  If the server were configured properly, the disk blocksize
would be quite irrelevant, since most of what you're writing is going to
cache first, anyway.

#Ethertalk phase 2.0 protocol was used with both transfers. NW4MAC version
#is 3.011. The server has 200 receive buffers.

Which NW4Mac?  20-user, 100-user?  How was the rest of the memory
configured?  What else was running in the server?  You're already going to
get decreased performance, because you're dealing with a protocol conversion
between the NCP and the AFP.  Is ATPS (a resource hog) running?  You're also
dealing with tracking 2 (maybe more) name spaces, and an internal router.

#The test was done with no (or almost) other traffic in the Ethernet.

As my questions above should illustrate, that's not surprising.  You're
comparing a native environemt to a translated environment.  Bof of your Macs
had more RAM than your server!

I'm running a 486-33MHz EISA server with 2 disk interfaces, 2 LocalTalk
interfaces, and 2 NE3200 EISA ethernet interfaces, network monitoring, UPS
monitoring, NW 3.11 250-user, NW4Mac 100-user, with a typical server load of
180-200 users, most on a single LAN, 5.2GB of disk mirrored and duplexed,
servicing 16 ATPS queues and about 5 standard queues (including a fax
server), 2 other servers at the same site, netmodems, and SAP broadcasts
from 2 other servers in NY, not to mention IP traffic between 2HP 3000's on
the same LAN, and the performance is not bad at all.  What kind of
performance would your Quadra give if you had 200 users banging on it?  It's
a question of systems optimized for different functions.

You're comparing the proverbial oranges and (real) apples.  I guess my
question is, "What's your point?"

Hi,
We are upgrading from 2.15c to 3.11 and have run into a little hitch
with TokenRing RPL.

After loading the driver for the card we LOAD TOKENRPL.
At this point the instructions in the TokenRing supliment and in the
support encyclopedia indicate that the following should be done.

BIND TOKRPL TO Lan_Driver

In our case that would be BIND TOKRPL TO TOKEN1

Trouble is that it cannot find TOKRPL

If we use BIND TOKENRPL TO TOKEN1 it binds ok

This seems to work.  

What is this TOKRPL thing?
Are we doing something wrong?
Is it a documentation error?
What am I missing?

Thanks,

Tony Bigras

Dear Curious Dazz... here is an example of one of the net.cfg as we use
it with LanWorkplace for DOS and the 3C509:

Link Support
	Buffers 8 1586
	MemPool 4096

Protocol ICPIP
	ip_address	128.###.###.###      <<< put your IP address here
	ip_router	128.###.###.###	     <<< if 'ya got a router..
	ip_netmask	255.255.0.0	     <<< your net segmented?
	tcp_sockets	8
	udp_sockets	8
	raw_sockets	1
	nb_sessions	4
	nb_commands	8
	nb_adapter	0
	nb_domain

Link Driver 3C509			     <<< this is the important part!
   Int 10				      << pick an unused interrupt
   Port 300			              << find a free IO port address
   Frame Ethernet_II			      << YOUR frame type here!
   Protocol IPX 8137 Ethernet_II              << ditto here!


This is the basic NET.CFG.. which is NOT documented anywhere on the disk
that comes with the 3C509.. (but then 3COM does market a competing NOS
to Novell don't they...). I adapted my old NET.CFG from a 3C503 card..
and once I got the Interrupt and Port set.. the new card was off and
running. The only real difference between the 3C503 NET.CFG and the 509..
is that in the last section called Link Driver.. it said:

Link Driver 3C503
   Mem D8000		<<< the 503 REQUIRES memory mapping in hardware!!
   Int 5	        <<< a more limited range on interrupts..
   Port 300		<<< same sort of address
   Frame Ethernet_II    <<< same
   Protocol IPX 8137 Ethernet_II  << same


Also.. for the latest and greatest on drivers.. if you've installed
Windows 3.1 for Netware.. look in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory for:

IPXODI.COM   and..
NETX.COM are there.

This is a NOS issue, not a protocol issue. How a server is named doesn't

Small packets are inefficient in TCP/IP and OSI too. Moreso in OSI, I think

I am experiencing some very strange stuff and wonder if it sounds familiar
to any of you.

I have Netware 3.11 with Mac NW-3.011 installed, as well as NFS1.2.  
The AFP.NLM is loaded with the nomultiple option.  

One of my volumes has all three name spaces installed, and is used as a shared
file space for Mac, Dos, and Unix systems.  One of the subdirector structures,
a rather large one of serveral megabytes, was originally created on a Unix
system.  When the shared file space became  available we copied (using tar)
the entire structure over to the shared Novell volume, and began to access 
files in all three name spaces. I think that this is the only subdirectory
structure on the volume that was created this way.  Most of the others were
created originally using Dos or Macs.

I now have a situation which seems to be unique to that subdirectory.  Some,
but not all, directories and files, when accessed through a Mac, cause the
following to happen:

 1 - The desktop disappears.  That is, all windows and icons vanish, but the
     screen doesn't go black.
 2 - A few seconds pass.
 3 - The desktop reappears, with all windows collapsed back into the mounted
     volume icon.

The access can be as simple as closing a folder (it never happens when openning
a folder) or opening a file with an application.  Permissions all appear
as they should be, or at least OK to me.

I tried to rebuild the desktop on that volume using a Sys 6 Mac, but it
hangs after a few minutes, and won't complete.

Anyone seen something like this or have suggestions.

You need the ASW 1440 drivers; they are *not* on the BBS (the BBS will
just tell you that's what you need).

Call a local Adaptec (or NetWare) dealer; they cost about $65.
