PC/TCP, permissions.

I use SunOS and Ultrix operating systems on file servers
and PC/TCP v. 2.1 from FTP software on PCs.

In order to create virtual disk drives I use the idrive
resident program. The PCTCP.INI file contains setup
for idrive. My idrive setup section looks like this:

[pctcp idrive hsp]
host=myhost
path=/aud/dahsp
drive=m:
sec_key=pcnfs
sec_arg=hsp
umask=750

When I create a new file on a virtual drive, the file has 
permissions according to umask ( -rwxr-x---). But when 
I create a directory, it has write and execute permissions 
for all ( drwxrwxrwx )! Why? This is very dangerous for 
users not concerned with security. They have to change the 
permissions manually with the "idchmod" command.

The problem existed in v. 2.05, and I still have the problem 
with v. 2.1. Is this a well known bug in idrive?

Thanks for any help.

Alternatively, does anyone use SLIP other than through

I've installed the shim, and I'm having trouble making it work.  Trumpet
1.05G starts up ok (and lists the groups in my NEWS.INI file), but then I
just keep getting "Command timed out" messages, and nothing works.  I'm
using FTP's PC/TCP 2.11 with the Clarkson 8003pkdr driver.  Any suggestions
why this isn't working for me?

Xircom make one (the Pocket Ethernet Adapter II, model# pe2), which comes 
with a packet driver.  I have succesfully used this with NCSA Telnet, and

We have about 300 pcs running lanman tcp/ip from microsoft (or equivalent).  We
just lost a weekly backup for a major vms system on site because a user (again)
misconfigured his pc to the vms  machines ip address.  We are clearly approaching
a completely unstable situation.

When  and how soon might one exzpect RARP support for the pc tcp/ip packages. 
Since we are heavily lanman  commiotted, it looks like I need microsoft support,
but other thoughts would also be considered.

Net.folk,

I'm finally getting around to upgrading my TCP/IP sw from FTP.  We
have been running the old version under dos for some time now.  

I seem to be having a problem with the packet drivers,  I can run my
novell fine or PC/TCP fine alone but not together.  If I run the
novell stuff first, wd8003.exe hangs the system.  If I run wd8003
first, I get file server could not be found.  I know this is an easy
one for someone out there.  The FTP manual just has way too much info.
The old ethdrv.exe doesn't seem to work either.  My programs might be
old...  Anyway, thanks in advance.

Here are the particulars...

WD8003E.COM -n 0x60	[7688bytes  09-21-92]
IPX.COM                 [24483bytes]

NETX.COM 		[52443bytes 03-10-92]

I have two IBM clones (an epson and AMI 386SX) that do not load the 3C503
Clarkson Driver. Both machines 3C503 have been tested and work fine with
Lan Manager using DISABLE for the shared memory jumper. When I set the 
jumper to any other shared memory jumper, Lan Manager stops working and
installing the  3C503 driver using:

  3c503 0x7e 5 0x300 1

I get the following error message:

  Packet driver skeleton copyright 1988-91, Russell Nelson.
  This program is free software; see the file COPYING for details.
  NO WARRANTY; see the file COPYING for details.


  Packet driver is at segment 37BD

  My Ethernet address is 02:60:8C:4C:FC:57

The 3C503 board works fine with the driver in another machine. So, I'm assuming
the problem is with "there is an address conflict" but don't know how to fix
it. Is there a solution or explanation why this doesn't work?

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

I believe the WINSOCK DLL (preliminary) can be downloaded from Microsoft's
BBS at 206-637-9009. There are two files: one's called WINSOCK.EXE and
the other is WSOCK.EXE; each is a self-extracting archive. I can't 
remember if either of these is documented well.

SOCKTSR.EXE is a driver included with LAN Manager for the DOS-based
TCP/IP utilities, but I don't know whether it's needed for Windows
sockets or not.

As an aside, we have approximatley 300 pcs running microsoft lanman over tcp/ip 
(bought froma variety of vendors).  If the primary requirement is netbios over 
tcp/ip thenour experience wiht microsoft lanman tcp/ip has been very good 
(note the originalstack is really HPs).  We use a variety of utilities on this 
stack, with the most prevelant being DECs pathworks tcp/ip (which sits on the HP
tcp/ip stack and uses a variant of microsofts redirector).

I believe firmly that tcp/ip must  be provided by the system vendor, must be
tightly integrated with the operating system, and am pleased that mircosoft is
slowly moving towards this position!

     I recall a package called Mirror, which ran with Crosstalk to
provide that kind of functionality using serial communications.  Now if
you can sneak a SLIP or PPP connection into that setup, it might be
possible.  Crosstalk and Mirror were sold by DCA in Georgia, I believe.

If you are using LANtastic For TCP/IP, on a LANtastic network, then
what is the second network card for?  You don't need it for TCP/IP,
as far as I can tell.  (Please pardon my ignorance if this is obvious.)

   I believe that WATTCP uses a config.tel file nearly identical in
   format to the one used by both NCSA and CUTCP.  At the end is the
   equiv of the /etc/hosts file in the form of entries for each host
   with (minimally, if you like ) domain names, aliases and IP
   addresses.  This should suit your purposes.

   It could be that there is no way to disable the password on FTP access
   to any account except *anonymous*.  If that network isn't attached
   to the Internet, and if you must have non-authenticated access for
   all users for FTP, how about fixing the FTP daemon so it does a
   chroot(2) to / instead of something else?

   Even though there might be a way around it, I highly recommend that if
   this site is attached to the Internet at all (and probably even if it
   isn't) the downside of having to enter passwords to access the systems
