We are in the process of establishing what most of you already have - that 
is Internet connection from a Unix system to Novell. Apart from not 
knowing how everything works, the norm seems to be Unix to Charon mail 
gateway to novell.

What I was wondering:- What bits of software do I need to have this service 
available to Novell's MHS or is this not possible. Do I still need the 
Charon gateway ?  Not too technical please because I dont fully understand 
how this all works.

Email direct please:-

I don't agree with this advice.  While it might protect you from knock
and password snoopers, it leaves you wide open to attack via forged
packets, for which there is currently NO PROTECTION.

Instead, you can disable the SUPERVISOR account (or use
network/station restrictions to allow it to login from only one
specific client) and instead create a supervisor-equivalent account.
Then use that su-equiv account only when needed, and only for as long
as needed (and if possible, only from a network subnet that has
trusted users on it).

Hi,
Well, we did a couple of burnouts to test KNOCK.EXE's integrity(!).
Right now in a small scale it seems to me that limiting the concurrent 
login for the supervisor as 1, does prevent KNOCK.EXE from getting in.
That is, set the concurrent logins for the supervisor to 1. Login in
some node as SUPERVISOR and lock the node. Try running KNOCK.EXE from
some other node and it should'nt work. Well we tried our best to make
it work - it would'nt. We have a Netware 2.15c and it seems to be ok.
                           
We have'nt tested the Station restriction part fully. If somebody can
confirm this it'll be great. Atleast a million installations need not
go paranoic for a small managable issue.                           

As a personal note, just want to say that it is impossible to prevent
anybody to get into any system who has constant access to it. Someone
had posted  why UNIX systems seem to be quite free from these things.
Quite simple - Compare the number of installations and ease of access
to Novell systems and UNIX systems. People are more familiar and close
to DOS and Novell than UNIX. Yuk. Who would use UNIX anyway ?

So, the new HACK.EXE can find out the sequence number that comes next.  Does
it need to 'monitor the wire' (and look for a packet from the workstation to
server to see the correct sequence number), which would tend to make it
hardware dependant.  Or is there another way of getting the sequence number
(such as getting the server to tell you what it expects next) that HACK.EXE
employs.  I consider this a big distinction, as a program that works on
any hardware is more dangerous that one that works only on some hardware. 
Also, if it needed to listen to the wire, then it woudln't be able to work if
the SUPERVISOR is logged from a different IPX network.

Does anyone know of a netware utility that will close the print spool
but leave the capture command on the printer port intact for future
printing?  It is an incredible defect in the architecture of the current
capture command that I can issue multiple print commands within the
timeout period for the spool and have these jobs all concatenate
together.  This sounds more like a mainframe computer printing system
than a PC print spooler that was designed with naive end users in mind.

In any case, I would like a utility that let's me do the following:
	print jobone 
	closejob
	print jobtwo
	closejob
	etc., etc.

I cannot see the C drive map to local disk after running map.
I'm running ELS Netware v2.15., have LASTDRIVE=E in config.sys,
but I can see the autoexec.bat path settings when map ins is executed.

This causing in several ways :-

1. my COMSPEC is =c:\command.com	(thus command.com cannot be found)

2. I am installing EmSave v3.12 which cannot see the network drives hence
   NO backups.

IPX is v2.15 and still using net3.com

Any ideas ?

Many Thanks.....

Reply-To: shyen@bnl.gov
Organization: Brookhaven National Laboratory
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 1992 18:37:47 GMT



Hi folks,

I need some clarification here from the users about what NetWare NFS
software package can do and can not do.  My understanding is that
NetWare NFS turns the NetWare server into a NFS server.  So that UNIX
users can access NetWare server file system as an extention of their native NFS file system.  

Question 1:
What about none UNIX environment that supports NFS such as VMS running MultiNet? Does NetWare NFS allow a user on a VMS machine running MultiNet to access the NetWare server files?  MultiNet is a software package that provides the NFS protocol for VMS systems to allow the integration with UNIX systems.  

Question 2:
Very often a UNIX machine that is used as a NFS server is also a client at the same time.  Does NetWare NFS provide the capability to allow the Novell NetWare server to mount other NetWare servers' file systems or
other NFS server file systems?  

Having posted the above questions, let me give the readers some back ground information regarding why I'm asking these questions.  We are on the subject of network file integration.  Many of our PC users who are not on the Novell network use PC-NFS to access NFS file systems on the UNIX hosts and VMS hosts.  Many Novell NetWare users here have the needs to access their files on the VMS and UNIX machines as well.  The true task here is can NetWare NFS handle this need.  I think the answer is NO. Then 
etWare product(s) can be used to achieve that?

I hope someone from Novell is reading this.

I have a problem with Novell 3.1 at the company that I work for.  We
have a multi-site network system that spans from Tucson to many sites
within California.

The problem is, is that it appears Novell limits the number of named
servers to 30.  This creates a tremendous problem for the users 
attempting to use SQL.  People attempting to log on to the SQL server
must be able to find the server name before the scripts will allow
the logon.  Normally no problem.  But, it just so happens that OS/2 
machines appear to novell as a named server.  Being multi-site, we 
have the potential for hundreds if not thousands of named servers under
OS/2.  

With this many names out there, the SQL server name does not show up
each time the user requests a logon, sometimes you get it, and sometimes you
don't.  

So the question is:  Is there any patch or workaround for this 30 name
limit?

Does any of this make sense?

Q1: After running client on the 'CDROM PC' the CDROM drive is not

'assign f=g'. The CDROM without NWlite is drive f:.
Why is NWlite not using drive f: directly?

We have an extensive network of Netware servers and printers configured
and have been using the UNIX -> Netware printer feature of NFS 1.2
for a few months with great success.

Recently, one of our servers became a bigger machine to handle the
increased load and since then we have been experiencing the following
problems:

1)  We can't queue more than one print job for a Netware queue at a time.
    The job gets queued on the UNIX side, the first one shows up on the
    Netware side, starts printing and when the 2nd job is submitted, the
    printer hangs.

2)  In the audit.log for NFS 1.2, we get the following error for every
    job submitted:

    PLPD-Error: plpd :GetJobList :GetQueueJobList :E252


Any clues?

	Is there a port of the Novell file server software for the IBM RT/PC running AIX (IBM's System V UNIX)? I know there's a port of Novell for
the RISC/6000, but I am not sure if anyone ported Novell to the
earlier machine.
