Subject: Re: Problems installing Netware 3.11 on IBM Model 80
Date: 26 Sep 92 22:28:05 GMT
Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J.

Jill,

The first thing I would do is use the server memory formula on page
113 of the NetWare 3.11 Installation manual to determine how much
additional memory you should install in your server.  I don't know how
large a Maxtor XT-4380 drive is, but guessing that it's 380MB, I'd be
that your borderline on memory with 4MB.  Figure that NetWare itself
would like 2MB, and a 380MB disk with just DOS namespace wants another
3MB, so 5MB is the magic number you'd want to hit if you're not
loading any optional NLMs.  Actually, I think you'll be much happier
with at least 4MB of available disk cache, so you should consider
going up to at least 8MB.

Also, I have experienced problems running non-IBM ESDI drives on
8580-071 servers (that's the 16MHz PS/2-80 that comes stock with a
70MB ESDI disk).  I do recall that NetWare 3.0 had problems with older
IBM ESDI controllers, so you may want to check on this with your IBM
tech rep.  Finally, I had to use the Core-supplied low-level formatter
to get any kind of reliability under NetWare 3.x with ESDI PS/2-80s,
so you may want to check with Maxtor to see if they have a low-level
formatter for their drives under NetWare.

I hope this helps you out.

In bit.listserv.novell you write:

I provided references to the articles posted on the UseNet newsgroup
comp.sys.novell (don't have them handy at the moment).  However, as
it seems you're accessing the Syracues Univ NOVELL listserver, you
probably can't access UseNet news.

Instead, I suggest you review the listserver articles with a subject
of "KNOCK" or "SECURITY".  These will provide some basic information.
If you are using NW2.15C, I strongly suggest you obtain SEC286.ZIP
from NetWire or another source.  Likewise, if you're using NW3.10A,
you should get 310PT1.ZIP and implement PASSFIX.NLM on your servers.

Finally, a recently (2-3 days ago) release Novell file SECURE.ZIP
(most recent is SECUREFX.ZIP) addresses a the newly discovered
security flaw: forging network packets to gain access as another,
logged-in user.

Hi, all -

        We just installed MS Mail 3.0 to test and I've got some questions.
First, is it possible to type an SMTP address in the TO: field of the Windows
client and have it NOT tell you that the address is not in the address book?
We have the SMTP Gateway installed and everything from the ADMIN program looks
to be setup fine.  Second, we have one user who swears he doesn't have SHARE
loaded on his workstation and the Windows client (again) works fine, but it
won't load on mine, giving me the message "SHARE must be loaded before starting
Windows".  It also fails to work on at least one other machine without SHARE.
Is there away around this?  I can't find anything in the manuals.  Well,
thanks for all your help.  I really appreciate it.

Hi!  We currently have a Techmar DatDrive (4mm) connected to an IBM/PS2

we've been using, so I'm looking for a new package.  I've heard a lot of
good things on this group about Arcserve by Cheyenne, but they don't support
tape drives not connected to the server.  I would like to keep the drive
where it is.  I've seen Network Archivist by Palindrome mentioned and I
believe they do support my setup.  Any experiences with this software?
Anyone know of any other packages that support this situation??  Our needs

      Netware 3.11 compatible
      setup as above

Thanks for any help you can give!!

You will also need to add to the system login script..

	if member of "GROUPX" then capture q=PRINTER1QUEUE etc
	if member of "GROUPY" then capture q=PRINTER2QUEUE

and so on.

Subject:      Adaptec in PS/2 - Abend

Hello,

I tried to install an Adaptec 1640 in an IBM PS/2 80-311 (which already has
an ESDI-controller with two drives).

I get so far that i can create the volume, but when I want to mount
it, the server abends with a Parity Error. (at least, if the first
activity occurs on the SCSI drive (a DEC 1 GB drive)

This system has been stable for nearly 3 years before, so I doubt the
motherboard has a problem. It is equipped with 8 Megs of memory,
4 of those are on an Microchannel 32-bit memory card.

aha1640.dsk has the date 26.7.91, aspitran.dsk 30.7.90 .(Are there
newer ones?)
I have tried to load with and without the above16=Y parameter - both
made the same effect.

Any Ideas ?

Thanks for any hint!

Wolfgang, John, and List Members:

I have installed the SCSI Express product on my 3.11 servers with 12 CD
drives with 10 in use already.  The product is easy to install and set up
and runs like a dream.  The SCSI Express NLM makes use of all the OS
features like cache use and security.

The system is easy for users, since the CD looks like any other hard drive
and the programs on the CDs run fine.  EVEN PROGRAMS THAT SAID THEY NEEDED
THE MSCDEX EXTENSIONS TO RUN.   When you register the software you can even
get a program from MDI that will make it look like you have loaded the
MSCDEX extensions if your program absolutely insist on it.  This will work
with about 95% of the programs.  MDI is working on the other 5%.  If you
call them and asked about a specific program they can usually tell you if
it will work.

If you want more specifics, just drop me a line at cpc.systems@mhs.unc.edu.
 I am not a Employee of MDI or any of it resellers, just a very satisfied
user!

This is not entirely correct...
I've found out you should use the INSTALL.EXE program on a downed server
with the  -F  option.  This will give you the option to modify the number
of directory entries on a 2.2 netware server!

I'd only do IPtunneling when I absolutely had to. It adds overhead and is
less reliable than IPX in my experience. I'd also add Packet Burst and LIPX
to improve IPX's performance.

There has been a document posted on NOVLIB for some time
dated July 15, 1992 - WINTIP.TXT - and it states that there are
known conflicts between BNETX and Win 3.1 that can cause severe
slowdowns and lockups.

How about a compremise.  If you are going to send a test breakin
program to the list send it compiled.  Then have the sequence be

attempt to break it
if successful print a message.
ISSUE a logout call.

This would enable security auditors to test system, but would not
allow people who are breaking in to use the program.  (breaking in
and then logging out is no fun)  Then for those people who have a
need for source code (reasearchers etc) could contact a central
repositry  (Novell??) who would only distriubute to people with
a certified need.

 Hello,

 I'm using NetWare 386 3.11 with TCP/IP. Some of my starcoupler and Brouter
 use SNMP and send their traps to my Novell-Server (I have no other Software
 under DOS or Unix recognicing SNMP packets).
 In the main menu of TCP/IP Console I could see the traps. But most of them
 are vendor specified MIBs. So I see ENTERPRISE SPECIFIC ... . Using an
 HexViewer for the file sys:etc/snmp$log.bin I see the "real" information
 e.g. HubReset: Problem Modemtask ..

 So my question:
 Who know the structure of this file, so that I can write my application
 to interpret the information?
 Is there any software which will do this for me?

                                   virtually
                                    Basedow
