Don't you use USERDEF for definig users ? You should just add
PASSWORD REQUIRED and PASSWORD CHANGE REQUIRED there for new users.

For user already installed, you could try running syscon-utility,
mark all users and select them. I am not quite shure, but you shoult be
able to set PASSWORD REQUIRED to YES for all marked users.

If this doesn't work you could write a "small" program using
the Developement Kit, which (as I prefer) is available for Turbo-Pascal
also, to set all acounts as required.

The next time a user loggs in, he/she is asked to enter/change password.

Just use better defaults ! (syson-Supervisor-Options, Userdef-Template)

I've not seen this problem with bnetx, however I do have a different one.

We have a 64 Kbps link between two of our sites, running X.25. This carries
both TCP/IP and Novell IPX using Cisco routers. The performance is pretty
lousy, mostly due to the network's high latency, and the binary acknowledge-
ment protocol used in IPX. So, I thought, perhaps BNETX will improve things
by reducing the numbers of ACKs.

Nope!

In fact, it doesn't work at all. The transfer starts normally, but after
a while an error message says that the network connection has been lost.

I have more detailed info using a Sniffer, but I just wondered if anyone
has seen this?

Yes, settin up SYS on the second drive might do that to you.  The
message INVALID COMMAND.COM occurs when your machine needs the
COMMAND.COM file, but can't find it.  It's my guess that when you type
EXIT your current drive is no longer your first drive, and so your
machine can't find it.  Try simply copying COMMAND.COM from your first
drive to your second.  That should take care of it.

Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1992 00:44:16 GMT

We are about to install a new server running (for the first time)
Netware 3.11.  We currently have 2 servers running 2.15c.  These two
servers are currently serving separate lans (1 serves a public access
CDROM Center using Optinet, the other serves our library's staff lan.)
We want to tie these two separate lans together, and also add our new 
3.11 server to this great conglomeration.  The idea being that we will
also set up an asynchronous communication server (primarily for access
to OCLC... for those of you out there that know about libraries :-) and
also use that NACI for dial access through the 3.11 server to the 2.15c 
server that is serving the CDROM center...  probably through a Waffle
BBS.  We're running thinnet ethernet throughout.  We've been told by a
local vendor that we can't run 2.15c with 3.11 on the same ethernet
without adding bridges which the vendor offered to supply for a not
inconsiderable price...     so, I have a few questions... 

Can I run a 3.11 server on the same ethernet with these 2.15c servers?
Do I really need these expensive bridges? 
Is this plan feasible?
Are there any 'gotchas' I should look out for?
Am I completely out of my mind?

I apologize if this is a FAQ, or worse... a no-brainer :-/  If so, and
you are feeling charitable, you can send me e-mail at :

If you are looking for someone from Novell to refute the statement by
Mr Snells consultant friend then you've got it. There is nothing
"lackluster" about our TCP/IP offerings *and* we have no reason to try and 
make IPX "look better". As a major league TCP/IP fan I can tell you that IPX 
is just dandy. It's fast, it's small, I use it all the time myself and it 
works just great! Not unlike the TCP/IP stuff actually.

Strikes me that IBM might be able to give you some references. NetWare for 
the RS6000 is a derivative of the "NetWare for UNIX" source code we license 
to our industry partners. It will make your RS6000 system look a great deal 
like a NetWare 3.11 server to your DOS and Windows systems. It almost 
certainly supports OS/2 clients running the redirector too (I can't believe 
IBM would ship it if there were any problems in this area). What does "a 
great deal" mean? Well, "almost exactly" from what I gather. There used to 
be some issues with NetWare for UNIX not containing an equivalent of the 
BTRIEVE back end but I think they fixed that. If you are not using any apps 
that are hooked into BTRIEVE this doesn't matter anyway.

>Does Netware take over the 6000, or does it run under AIX?

It runs under AIX and uses the AIX filesystem as its file store (ie, it
doesn't need separate disk partitions or anything like that).

>How big a performance hit is it?

Insufficient data to compute. If the NetWare clients are doing absolutely
nothing then the answer is "negligable". If 100 clients are slamming
away on the thing then the answer is "substantial".

>Can the 6000 be a non-dedicated server?

Yes, the RS6000 can do other stuff while it's being a NetWare server.

Check out the Novell Command Line Utilities manual under CAPTURE.  You need
to tell CAPTURE to send a FormFeed at the end of each line.  Most
applications do this on their own now, but yours obviously doesn't.  Perhaps
the easiest way to ensure this is done is to define a default print job
configuration for all users in PRINTCON.

That's because the reset function PRINTDEF is sending PRECEDES each print
job - thus it would only work anyway when the next job comes barreling
through.  So, simply go into PRINTCON, and define a default print job, and
make sure FORMFEED is set to YES.  Doing this completely will also simplify
the CAPTURE command, as you won't have to enter all of the L=1 and NB NT,
etc. on the command line, it will be passed by default.

Again, it's not an issue of a reset, but making sure the printer knows it's
an end of job.  (What application are you using that doesn't eject its own
pages these days?  Lotus is about the only application still in widespread
use that has printer control that brain-dead any more.)

Hi

	I'm having a bit of a brain failure at the moment and I wonder
if one of you Guru's can give me some info:

The situation is as follows:


Server 1

Netware 286 v2.12

network address : 0001  00ce45f3d

server 2

netware 386 v 3.1

network address : 0002  00000001

If  I try to set the network address of server 2 to the same as 
server 1 (ie 0001) the server 1 comes up with loads of router configuration
errors. and says that the network number should be 0002

Both servers are on the same segment, so how come I can't set the same 
network number on both servers?? I thought that the network number 
referred to the cable system each server was on.  

This is probably a dead simple problem but I would really appreciate 
knowing what I've done wrong.

Could you E-mail replies  as I only get to read this group occasionally
