Subject: Simple NetWare 2.2 Question
Date: 7 Oct 92 16:08:31 GMT
Organization: University of Kansas Academic Computing Services

I have little experience with the 286 flavors of NetWare...
How does one get the PSERVER.VAP to automatically load at
boot time?  I assume that it requires an entry in the
SERVER.CFG file.  However, I haven't been able to find a
clue in the manuals.

Maybe someone could mail me a hint?

Thanks.

Subject:      FREE RDATE NLM --- Timezone errors

The timezone must be set before CLIB is loaded, otherwise changing it
has no effect, and the default time is EST (strange, woulda figured
a default of PST or CST).


Anyway, issue the console command

        set timezone <zone>

ie:

        set timezone PST8PDT


in your autoexec.ncf before any NLM is loaded which could call in CLIB
(such as pserver or tcpip).

--

The rdate docs mention this, but failed to clarify that it must be done
before CLIB is loaded.

--

For those running busy systems, in which you can't unload pserver, tcpip or
clib, then you'll just have to wait until your next server downtime to make
use of the RDATE NLM unless you're in EST

Hello,
I am not a member of this discussion list, but I am hunting the FTPs
for a utility for archiving and backing up to tape that will "date
in reverse," that is, our current system deletes tapes from the Novell
network forward chronologically, but we need something that will
GLOBALLY delete files from the server from a certain date back as
it backs them up simultaneously (run on sentence).  Please help.
Any answers/suggestions/remarks should be directed to

I heard that Novell provide a computer based mock CNE test that can be
run on a pc. I am not sure if it is available to all or just to
suppliers/resellers. Does anyone (Novell?) out there know?

Subject:      NetWare 3.11 & 4DOS - strange behaviour of MOVE command

Hello,

today I have detected a very strange behaviour of the 4DOS command MOVE
on NetWare mapped drives.
I create two different files, say FILE1 and FILE2, on a network drive
and then I issue the command

  MOVE FILE1 FILE2

I have all rights to do this (I am supervisor) and both files are flagged
Rw and not in use by anyone else.
4DOS tells me that FILE1 should have been moved to FILE2 (no error message)
but a DIR shows that FILE1 and FILE2 are still the same as before. The
MOVE command had no effect!
The problem seems to happen every time I try to move a file to another
file that already exists, expecting that this file will be overwritten.

On a local drive, everything works ok.

Has anyone else observed this problem? Or, the other way round, can any
4DOS user tell me that the sequence described above works for him?

My configuration:

  several different PCs with MS-DOS 5.0
                        4DOS 4.01 or NDOS from the Norton Utilities 6.0
                        IPXODI or PDIPX
                        NETX 3.22 or NETX 3.26
  several NetWare 3.11 servers


Please send replies directly to my private e-mail address.
Thanks in advance

Loreen - I tried the same thing and got the same result - it's
definitely illegal.  The solution for safe attach/detach with
Windows running is to enable the Novell popup menu under Windows -
an undocumented function.  Check that you have a NETWARE.INI file
in your WINDOWS directory - if not create it with any plain text
editor (e.g. MS-DOS Editor).   Add the following to enable the
popup :

[Options]
NetwareHotKey=1       ;this maps F6 as the Hot key

you can choose to use a different key as the hot key - a value of
112 gives you F1, 113 maps to F2 and so on.


You can create or modify the file with Windows up but you will need
to exit and restart for this to take effect.  Pressing F6 (or your
preferred key) brings up a small menu that allows you to do several
interesting things including attach to and detach from available
servers.

Hope this helps...

Hi,
maybe you can try the same mem location as in the error message (not 000d0000),
and be sure that this mem adress is not occupied by other things like emm386. Tr
Try to boot without config.sys. I have here an EXOS 205T, and i must set
the mem adress with jumpers on the board!

Good luck!

I checked out the MAC nam space for cd rom and this is what the teck said.
as I re call it....

It is a problem with Novell.. SCSI Express will do it. Novell requires
the name space file to be on the volume with the name space. If Novell
would allow the name space to be added to the CD after it is mounted on a
volume other ther than the CD it would work!

The CDs ar read only. I suppose the CD manufacturers could include the
name space file on their CDs.  This would be a fiarly Novell/SCSI Express
solution.

The same old story.. its the other guys falt!

Dayna makes NICs for Macs and also markets a piece of software

2.15A does have this security problem, and despite what the documentation
says, SEC286.ZIP appears to fix it. You will get a couple of error messages
when applying the patch, but after doing so I was unable to break in in
36 hours, whereas it took 8 minutes max before the patch was applied.

Hi Angus,

   I think that the problem is in the cables of your TokenRingor or in one of t
he other cards on the other PCs. I thin that the server gives this type of mess
ageswhen packets sent are altered or lost. We had such a problem twice. Once we
 had a piece of cable of our net broken. Another time it was a repeater card.

Is there more than one server on your system? If so you are probably
finding the wrong one first. To check try booting from the floppy and
running all the commands up to and including netx. This will tell you
what server you are finding.
