Lets face facts,  the same holes (or a very close equevilant)
everyone is so worried about in a Novell enviornment exist in the
Unix environment.  The thing is that they are a "so what else is new"
case in that envirnment.

Subject:      Server recommendations

I am seeking recommendations for a Novell Network Server.

The following are my perceptions of our department server needs:

1.   The server will service 50 workstations including 5 Macs.
     Applications on the server will include: Text Editor,
     Spreadsheet, Desk Top Publishing, and  data base, which will
     all be Windows based.  The cost of the applications will not
     be included in the purchase price of the server.

2.   Since the technology is evolving at a very fast pace, I am
     looking for a high end workstation to be used as a server.
     This is so that it can be easily converted to workstation
     after a period of +/- 3 years.

3.   Basic configuration would include a 600Meg HD, 32 bit twisted
     pair ethernet card, hgc monitor, 8meg of memory, 600 watt UPS,
     1.2 gig Backup, and running Dos5 and novell 3.1.

4.   Funds that can be allocated to the server is approximately
     $5,000.

What machines and or combinations should I consider?

Thanks in advance for your recommendation.!

Subject:      Foxfire Novix TCP NLM to replace client TCP

I recently read an article that referenced a product called
Novix from a U.K. based vendor called Foxfire. The article
just said it was a TCP/IP NLM that replaced client TCP
packages such as LAN Workplace for DOS and allowed central
IP number administration. I'm familiar with a couple of
gateway products but this is new to me. Has anyone heard of or
used this package? Anyone have an address for the manufacturer?

Thanks,

There is one step missing in the above. You must go into the DOS
Settings menu and make sure you have Netware resources set to private
for each session that you want to be separate from the OS/2 sessions
or other Global DOS sessions on Novell (different id or drive mappings).
If the Netware resources are Global, then any drive mapped in one
session will affect all other Global sessions and OS/2 sessions.

Hi,
   I'm new to this list, also newish to Netware, so please forgive if these
answers are obvious. I'm upgrading someone from an old 12mhz '286, Netware
2.2, to a new'486 system, still on 2.2 and also upgrading their accounting
 software. The first
question is is there any trick to moving them to a new server beyond backup,
install, restore? Secondly, on their new system, they're looking at going to
a new system (Macola) using Btrieve as a back end. Any tricks to this? I am
planning on setting them up with 8M memory. Will this be enough (6-8 users)?
Do I need to move them to 3.11? Anyone have experience with network printer
adapters(Castelle, HP, Intel, Rose, etc.(also the Lansprint, etc. variety)?

Thanks in advance,

Right, the problem is that the 8390 uses the wrong instruction for
its delay routine.  It uses "in ax,61h" instead of the correct "in
al,61h".  This will be fixed in the 11.x release, which I am going to
start testing this week.  Or, my customers have already gotten the fix...

Does anyone have any experience with or know what the following error
message means when trying to access a Novell 2.2 server:

    Network Error:  Out of Dynamic Work Space during GetCurrentDirectory

I have looked in vain for this error message in the manuals.  Since I
cannot access the server, I have no way (that I know of???) to try to do
any diagnostics.  I have tried adding memory to the server (PS/2 80) with
no changes.  I am assuming that I am low on either directories or disk
space.

Thanks in advance......

***** NOTES from Brett Warthen (BRETT @ INFINITE) at 11/12/92 9:19 PM
This means that you are running out of memory in one of the dynamic memory
pools at the file server.  Check in FCONSOLE to determine which one, its
probably pool #1...and chances are that you have encountered the "intruder
lockout detection bug" in NetWare 2.2, where if an intruder detection
lockout occurs, the server goes a little nutty with either a GPI abend, or
"out of dynamic memory" errors like you are encountering.

INTRUD.ZIP in NOVLIB Library 3 on CompuServe, or the FTP mirror site, is a
patch to address this bug.

We use a Maynard DAT drive with 2Gb capacity plus Maynard software
connected to a 386SX with 40Mb of hard disc which will connect to our
networked servers on an automatically timetabled basis and back them up.
Works great, and the same software will also handle individual PC's on the
net.  It isn't the only system available though.

Is it expensive?

Subject:      Novell Licensing and Copyright etc...

   I would like to install a temporary file server for NW 3.11.  I don't
want to buy another license.  I understand that Novell licenses its
software on a per server basis.  I am currently able to get a 20
user and a 250 user license through my state contract.  I have purchased one
of each type.  A 20 user server dedicated to a certain application and a
250 user server which is not yet installed.  With things changing so rapidly
in a University setting and the subsequent budget restraints, and the fact
that we must rely on students and less experienced personnel for support
services it would be really nice to be able to install a server for R&D and to
simulate real life problems without using a live box.

   Since I have purchased a 20 user license, 10 of which are in use
and I have ordered a 250 user license of which about 50 will be immediatly used,
I feel I would be adhering to the spirit of the license agreement if I used
my existing 20 user copy to set up a temporary server for testing and
trouble-shooting when I in fact would be in violation of the license
agreement if I did this.
  In another instance:  When I order my 250 user license through the beuracracy
of state government it might take 2 months for me to get it.  It would be
nice to go ahead and install a new server from my existing copy to
get up and running while I wait for the paperwork to make it legal.
   I bet if I tried to set up a second server with the same copy of Netware
I would get nasty messages about Copyright violations or serial numbers
or something.


Any thoughts on this subject.....Novell ??
