Oops, I forgot this last question in my earlier reply.  Sorry about that.

Clarkson University is no longer in the packet driver business.  The copyright
for the source code of what were formerly the Clarkson collection of packet
drivers now belongs to Russ Nelson and Crynwr Software (Russ's company which
does packet driver development and support).

There never was a Xircom adapter driver available from Clarkson, and I doubt
there will be one coming from Crynwr any time soon.  Xircom considers their
software interface to be proprietary, and there was a flap between them and
Clarkson about the first packet driver they distributed, which contained
Clarkson code but was distributed in a manner in violation of some stipulations
of the Clarkson license.

But look on the bright side.  I just found out today that in Welsh the "w"
character used as a vowel literally stands for a double "u", which I believe
makes Crynwr a lot easier to pronounce than the way I was doing it...

creh-NOOR, right?

There are times when I will be Supervisor, in Syscon and working with
the System login script.  When I press Esc to leave and save my work ,
it pronounces that the net$log.dat is in use by another workstation and it 
can't be saved.  I can't leave Syscon until this 'mysteriously' goes away and
sometime later I will try esc again and it will work.

 in public is the file net$log.dat and yes this is the Sytem login script.  
 I believe that some user on campus is not fully logging into the account 
 before walking away fromthe computer...leaving net$log.dat in limbo.


 Are there any ways around this?  Once trapped, what are the options besides
 sitting and waiting?

 Is there any way of tracing what workstation is causing this?

 Am I right about what is causing this?

Subject: MAC Access to Novell, Station Retrictions!?
Date: 26 Sep 1992 00:41:32 GMT
Organization: Loral Aerospace, NASA/JSC

After much reading and experimentation, I have found what I think is a
security hole (feature to you DEC folks) with the Novell MACIntosh access.
If you go into SYSCON and enable Station Restrictions on an individual
user, giving a specific Ethernet Hardware address (any address MAC or PC),
then go to a MAC and try to login to the server.  It will let you into
the server regardless of the stations restrictions placed on that user.
When you look at the users logged onto the server ( userlist/a ) it shows
the individual, but with an Ethernet Hardware address of "Unknown".

This is a real problem since it implies that even though you've restricted
a user to a specific station, they can still access files from any MAC with
AppleShare on the Network.  Doesn't say very much about the integration of
the MAC into the security scheme of the Novell server.

Does anyone know of a workaround for this problem?  I need to be able to
restrict users to specific stations on certain servers, and we also have
to support the mixed PC/MAC environment.  Passwords alone are not considered
acceptable under the circumstances.  I can't be sure, but I suspect that the
users login script is not executed when access is from a MAC, since most of
what goes into a login script is PC based MAP commands.

Hi,

Is there a way to print to a Unix printer (actually a DEC printer sitting on
the TCP/IP network, being fed by a large number of Unix machines) from
Netware 3.11?

Currently, we are printing to a file, and using rsh and rcp to lpr the file
from a Unix machine.  This is akward and slow.

Is there a way to set up a queue for this, or some better mechanism?

naturally, the Server is routing TCP/IP and also has NFS.

Hi,

The above posting is incorrect.  NetWare for Macintosh 3.011 DOES SOLVE the
previous problems with the 7.1x and "TUNEUP-ed" LaserWriter drivers.  3.011
NetWare for Macintosh is shipped with version 3.11 ATPS.NLM and has been 
shown to be compatible with the 7.1x LaserWriter driver(s).  

NW4MAC 3.01 (ATPS.NLM v. 3.1) can be patched to provide support for these 
LaserWriter drivers.  The patch is called ATPS2.ZIP and is located on NetWire
under NOVLIB 8.  

So, there are a number of solutions for the NW4MAC users who want
to use the 7.1x LW drivers.  3.0 NW4MAC users should see no problems.  3.01
NW4MAC users can either patch their ATPS.NLM (v.3.1) or upgrade to 3.011 NW4MAC.
And finally, 3.011 NW4MAC users (ATPS.NLM v.3.11) have support for the 7.1x
LW drivers built in.

I hope this clears the water.  The main thing to understand is that NW4MAC and
more specifically ATPS.NLM CAN SUPPORT the 7.1x and "TUNEUP-ed" LaserWriter
drivers.

Here is an annoying little problem that came up this week, and I was
sondring if there was a work around.


What we have for students who don't have individual accounts to log into
the Novell server as "student" and into a menu ( this is Novell's menu
program ).  But if more than 19 students log in at once, we get the
error message:

	Fail on write 0, couldn't create restart file

This is going from memory, so the syntax might be a little off.

But the problem remains.  Is there a way to get more than 19 people running
the menu program at once, under the same user ID?

If not, does anyone recommend a better menu program?

We are running Novell Netware 3.11 and supporting about 600 student users.
Each user has a unique account name and individual home directory.  All
accounts were generated using the MAKEUSER utility.

For some unknown reason it appears that Novell has "lost" one user account.
By this I mean that if you check for the account entry using SYSCON there is
no longer an entry for it.  However their home directory still remains.
User error (mine) or hackers are obviously a possible cause of this sudden
dissappearance,  but not likely.  With previous experience in Unix and VMS
I have never had this happen.  Has anyone else had such an experience
with Novell ?

Also,  we have noticed some interesting behavior with MAKEUSER when it
comes to erasing user accounts.  According to Novell documentation,
using the option "#PURGE_USER_DIRECTORY" will automatically remove the
user's directory when the account is removed.  This option seems not to
function when the user's home directory contains any subdirectories.  This
seems rather silly.  Does anyone know whether this is a BUG or intentional
behavior ?

Hi,

You are right!  And you are not kidding either.  The Macintosh (under
System 7) gained some added networking functionality (it can publish it's own
volume on the network) so some changes in the local OS had to be made to accomo-
date it.  This may have been one reason for why the external desktop rebuilding
functionality went away with System 7.  At any rate, the bottom line is this,
you must use System 6.x to re-build an external desktop since 7.x doesn't 
support that functionality.  

Let me suggest that you just use the LOAD AFP CDT command line to CLEAR the
Desktop.  If you issue this command at the server's console, the Desktop files
on the server will be returned to their nominal sizes and structures.  If you 
do not have a 6.x Macintosh to complete this desktop re-build (this just adds
structure back to those Desktop files you just re-initialized), you shouldn't
find too much trouble.  At the most, you may see some generic icons, or maybe
you will need to open a parent application before the file can be opened, but
these "trouble(s)" are cosmetic, and will not persist.  Once you open a file 
from within it's parent application, you restore it's information to the
server's desktop, and all will be fine after that.  

So, if you need to re-build
the desktop and can deal with some possibly cosmetic (and short lived)
"problems," just use the LOAD AFP CDT command at the server's console prompt. 
If your users cannot handle getting into an application to open a file, or will
be upset by generic Icons, just make a 6.x boot disk (remember, it needs LAN
drivers and AppleShare installed) just issue the LOAD AFP CDT command then
login as SUPERVISOR from the Macintosh (make sure no other logins from Macintosh
es come in) and re-build the server's desktop from that 6.x Mac.

I hope this clears things up for you...But as you see I have rambled on so if I
confused you, let me know and I will try to be a bit more elegant and clear.

Think Peace and PLEASE V-O-T-E-VOTE!!!
