Subject:      File server Large files

I have a file server with a database with some large files on it.  One of
the files most often used is 10 mg and various other files ranging from 1
to 12 mg.  The file Server has 8 Mg of ram.  This is obviously a potentual
problem.  Some of the stats I will list.
Perm memory pool        1,636,252 23%   in use 1,632,740
alloc memory             418,732   6%   in use 221,228
Cache buffers           1,531,860 22%
Cache Movable           2,861,160 40%
Cache Non Movable         658,320   %
Total Server Memory     7,106,324

Original Cache Buffers      1,662
Total Cache Buffers           366
Packet Recieve Buffers         18

Connections in Use             37
Open files                    230
I unerstand that once Cache buffers reaches 20% that it is critical to add
RAM.  At this point it appears to be Critical.  Are there any other areas
of obvious concern.

Thanks Again

Subject:      anyone using packetdrivers on a token ring??

 hello,

 i am experimenting on using packet drivers on a token ring network.
 i am able to ftp to my 3.11 server using ftp version 0.6 and the ibmtoken
 packet driver (with ipx302 and netx331) this works fine. but when i
 use odi and odipkt my ftp says: only ethernet packet drivers allowed.
 ncsa telnet and ftpbin also refuse to work (they also don't work on ibmtoken
 but that could be my own fault wrong config.tel i think).

 so i am looking for someone else who is ftping and telneting over his
token ring network. i know of some commercial products like lan workplace and
 chameleon but they cost money and i only want to invest in them when i have
 proven that these ftp and telnet utilities are usefull in our school
 environment.

 i am planning to test the packet drivers on a small ethernet network to see
 if i can get the telbin and ftpbin config.tel file correct. but this is
 only a small network (8 stations 1 server). our main network consists of
 250 stations and 8 servers in the company network and about 500 stations and
 16 servers (rough guess) in the educational network. these two are completely
 separated for security reaseons (they love to change their grades).

 so i am hoping that i am not a shouting man in an ethernet desert.

Has anyone set this up before and what do I need to do on the AIX side of

this.  I am sure there is a file I have to edit to make the connection between
my AIX box and the Netware server.

***** NOTES from Brett Warthen (BRETT @ INFINITE) at 12/14/92 8:25 PM
Kevin,

First...there is an MHS list...send a message to Library@Novell.com with a
subject line of GUIDE.  This will return back information about the
services provided by Library@Novell.com.  I don't have a current list of
keywords for subscribing to the lists...but if you put A-MAILLIST on your
subject line, this should return back a list of the available mailing
lists.

I'm not positive that they support internet subscribers (I get there
through MHS directly), but I think the gateway they are using should.

Now to your question...the standard MHS administrator name is ADMIN.  Even
if you define an alternative administrator name in MHS...messages sent to
ADMIN, will automatically redirected by MHS to the defined administrator
name.

For example, here on the INFINITE host, we have SUPPORT defined as our
administrator.  If any messages come into ADMIN @ INFINITE (or MHS
generates any administrative messages), they are automatically sent to
SUPPORT @ INFINITE.

On the other hand, we had a Unisom UPS cause a fire and nearly burn down

The LAN driver for this card to work on a Novell 3.11 server is available
on Compuserve.  I installed it on my church's server 2 weeks ago without
problems.  It is marked beta because Novell has not certified it yet but
3COM has stated that it passed all the tests that Novell will perform.
(It is probably available on the FTP sites that mirror Novell's file
submissions to Compuserve.  See the FAQ for a list.)

Ken-  First, the IP address of your Novell server should be registered with
your local nameservers.  The name should then be inserted into the

        /etc/hosts.lpd

and

        /etc/hosts           <---- not really for printing, but for other
                                   other NFS stuff.  Might as well add it
                                   now.

files on your UNIX hosts.  You then need to add the queue information into the
/etc/printcap file.  A sample entry would look like-

        ecs1ntx|ecs1alw|ECS Laserwriter II NTX in Rm 019:\
        :lp=:\
        :rm=lan_gate.umbc.edu:\
        :rp=ecs1ntx:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/ecs1ntx:\
        :mx=0:

where 'lan_gate.umbc.edu' is the registered name of the Novell server, and
'ecs1ntx' is the name of the print queue.  NOTE!!!!:  Please make sure to
create the spooling directory '/usr/spool/ecs1ntx' on your UNIX box, other
wise no print jobs will be spooled.

Good luck...let me know if you need anything else, like sample setup files,
...

Subject:      Packed File is Corrupt

I have a Novell 3.11 network with 9 workstations.  Several people
were using the network, including one using WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS.
One additional person then tried to go into WordPerfect, but
received the message  "Packed File is Corrupt".

We use simple DOS batch files for accessing WordPerfect, but everyone
who tried to access WordPerfect then got the same message -- the person
received the message "Packed File is Corrupt" then immediately was
bumped back to the Main Menu.

I erased all the WordPerfect temporary files, turned off the server,
and then everything seems to be working okay.

We don't use any stacking program, or zipped files, that I know of,
but we did have two power outages which stopped the server with no
apparent problem last week.

Can you suggest what might have gone wrong?  I would like to prevent
it from happening again.

Thank you.  I'm sorry if I posted something I'm not supposed to -- it
looked like a network question to me, not a WordPerfect question.

Subject:      Re: Burglar.nlm is now available via our listserver

 hello,

 i believe that this is going straight to the list so here is an extended
 reply hehehe.....

 here at the Eindhoven Institute of Technology we have a very strong policy:
 all fileservers are kept behind bars (or in locked rooms as you minght call
 it). all known and future hacker programs are immediately tested for their
 effect and therefor most of the known hacker tools and utilities are
 available at our computers.

 their is but a small problem: when i suply these programs to the rest of the
 world (made a typo there) not only supervisor but also students may receive
 a copy of it. since at our site we are protected against all possible
 security risks novell had in store for us others may not and therefor i could
 endanger them by suplying the hackers utils.

  i have made a small exception for the burglar.nlm since this hack util is
 only dangerous when people have direct access to both  the fileserver as the
 console of it and then it also has to be a 3.11 server.
 when it is not possible to have your server in a secure room then make
 sure that you have a lock on your servers floppy drive. and make sure that
 only the needed nlms are in your system directory (move all others to a direc
 tory with a name that can't be guessed).

 a yeah a small other thing when people have acces to your fileserver the can do
 more damage by throwing the power switch in the off possition than by loading
 a hack nlm (we all have backups don't we!!!!).
 here at our school cleaning personal is not allowed near our fileservers
 when needed we will clean the room ourselves.

 when their is more interest in the hacker utils for novell and novell
 gives me the right to also make the patches available via our listserver i
 will do so (in the coorect other of course first the patches and some months
 later the hack utils that are then harmless for your servers).

 flames or other problems with this mail to me directly please.

Those patches are for NetWare 3.x, not 2.15C.

X-Delivery-Notice:  SMTP MAIL FROM does not correspond to sender.

thanks for all the responses!!! I was overwhelmed by them! I had
originally started writing them down on a "while you were out" pad.
However it quickly filled. So I started forewarding these letters
to my other account where I will now download them, and include them
in a memo.

Thanks everyone

One interesting idea is Networth Engineering.  They at least used to
have a product that would run about a mile on normal twisted pair.
If I remember correctly it ray at about t1 speeds.

I don't know of any free ones that work with Hummingbirds, but their
is acompany out in Ca. called Starnet Communications that makes an X-
windows package that works with the NCSA telnet and packet drivers.

They now have both a DOS and a MS windows version.
