I am using KillEm (from ftp-os2), which does use DosKillProcess.
The NFSCTL.CMD then reports the resulting RC=99 from NFSC.EXE
(as unknown) and exits.

Additionally, the doc from IBM says that it's safe if one closes the
window of the NFS Control Program when all mounted drives have been
unmounted beforehand.

>The gorp about checking mounts and stuff is useful, but mostly a nicety.

Well, I couldn't find what a gorp is, :-) but my aim was to run the NFS
client only while it is needed (because of it's overhead), i. e. only
"during active mounts", and that's what I reached. :-) With QMOUNT,
RXQUEUE, Procs & KillEm, and of course REXX, it was quite easy. :-)

I don't think so because I remember to once have seen a message from
NFSC.EXE (or maybe NFSCTL.CMD) advising to run NFSCLEAN after next boot.

Ok everyone.  I haven't been following this group until lately.  I am
currently using LANtastic 4.1 with two AE2 (Artisoft) ethernet cards.

I would like to find a peer-to-peer network which runs under native OS/2.  I am
very aware of how to use LANtastic under an OS/2 VDM, and frankly, it
stinks!  I have heard hints of people using FTP's or IBM's TCP/IP and NFS 
to go peer-to-peer.  Is this a workable solution?  Here is what I want to
do:

1.  Take my 386/20 (8 Mb RAM) and run Maximus/2 (OS/2 BBS package) using a 
14.4 v.32bis modem and also run the appropriate TCP/IP sfotware.

2.  Take my 486/33 (8 Mb RAM) and be able to access Maximus' message base
and to do general file mainteance.  Maximus allows for sharing of all
its files.  Of course, the 486/33 will be running the TCP/IP software
as well.

In other words, be able to access all the resources of the 386/20 
without destroying performance on the BBS and be able to do this in
native OS/2 environment.

Concerns:  How will TCP/IP affect the high speed modem?
           My Artisoft AE2 cards have an NE2000 mode.  Will these work
           with the TCP/IP software.
           Is this a kludgy solution?

The BBS machine will be ONE node, and will be a full screen session.  The
only other process will be the TCP/IP.  

Please give me feedback based if via this newsgroups or send mail.

Thank you.

I am trying to access an OS/2 2.0 NFS server (IBM TCP/IP 1.2.1 for OS/2)
from a DOS 5.0 PC running Sun PC-NFS 4.0. I can mount drives from the
OS/2 server, but when I do a dir I get names that look like...

	WINWO~7A     <DIR>     04-14-92   9:06a

when they should look like...

	WINWORD  DSK <DIR>     04-14-92   2:06a 

(notice the time stamp is wrong also)

In fact the only file or directory that has a extenstion is a WINA20.386 
but even it is displayed as WINA2~HA.386.

You can cd to a directory if you know the name (not the dir displayed
mangled version).

You cannot execute .exe files but you can type autoexec.bat, for example.
You can copy files from DOS to NFS server, but you cannot copy from the
NFS server to DOS (says file not found).

Can anyone shed some light on this problem. When I called Sun, all I got
was a "we didn't test with that software" answer.

It's in standard unix format.  That means that you should be able to ftp
the /etc/passwd file off any unix server, and then you'd be able to
login with that userid and passwd.  Of course, after a successful login,
a user has access to the whole system anyway, so security isn't really
preserved as much as in Unix.

Well Joern,  we have been trying much the same thing and trying to run any
kind of packet driver set up with OS/2 and NetWare didn't work too well if
at all.  We ended up going for IBM's TCP/IP 1.2.1 product for OS/2.  Even with
using it took half a dozen people from IBM, SMC (our NIC supplier) and Novell
to figure out all the config.sys, net.cfg and protocol.ini files.  NCSA telnet
just doesn't work yet with the OS/2-Novell combination.  What appears to be the
problem is that the Requester grabs hold of the NIC and won't let the packet
drivers for Telnet access.  The TCP/IP product I mentioned above seems to have
solved this.  If you ever do figure out a way to make them work please let
the rest of us know.

Actually, I don't know the answer to your question, but we took another tack here, and it works fine. 
Instead of "starting" all the daemons, we "detach" them. That way, they don't show up at all. Course, 
you can't go back and kill them later (I'm sure there's a way, but I don't know it), but they don't take 
any screen real estate at all.

Just go through the TCPSTART.CMD file and replace all the "start" with "detach", and likewise in your 
NFSSTART.CMD file. The only one that doesn't work in detached mode is the TELNETD daemon, since it 
spawns additional copies of CMD whenever a user logs into your machine. It has to run normally.

There is a scrolling bug in the Xwindows window manager for OS/2.

Here is what's happening:

I have my modem connected to my Unix machine and I'm using it by running an
xterm then my standard Unix terminal program in the xterm window.

Now if I move another window on top of the xterm window and something
causes the underlying window to scroll, the title bars from the overlying
windows start scrolling along with it!  (actually, its just copies of it,
the original title bar of the overlying window is still intact and doesn't
move.)

It was sort of freaky at first, walking away from the screen, coming back
and seeing several title bars stretched across the screen.

Is this a known bug?  Should I report it somewhere?

Also, I have a 3 button mouse connected to my ATI Wonder card.  Is there
anyway to get it to recognize the middle button instead of having to
simulate it using the left+right combo?

In a previous article, the question was asked why the command rexed -l
username -p password host path/xterm -display localdisplay ... causes
deskpic to stop functioning normally.  The anser to this question,
like many other problems with deskpic, is that rexec uses all free
cycles of the processor, and as it is a higher priority than deskpic,
takes all of its cycles as well.  Thus, by executing the above command
(note, not with a start in front of it) and once the Xterm has
started, hit a CTRL-C to kill the rexec process.  Because of the way
Xterm was written (at least my version), it will continue to run,
