You could alter the "Inherited Rights Mask" for this paticular program (use
'filer') then use 'grant' (or 'filer' again) to allow specific users
(or a group) to get at the syscon program.

Subject:      Problem with NFS 1.2 LPD crashing server

We have been using version 1.1 of NFS with no problems, and after upgrading
two out of three servers to 1.2, the two upgraded servers have crashed with
similar messages.  The abend looks like:

ABEND: General Protection Processor Exception  (error code .... )
Running process: plpd      x Process   (x could be a number/character)

We only use the printing features of NFS so when it's started, we only
load the following modules:

NFS.NAM   (The name space is not added to any volumes, but needs to be loaded)
PATCHMAN.NLM
NFSFIX.NLM
NFSSERV.NLM
PLPD.NLM

relevant server SET parameters are:

max packet receive buffers = 200
max physical receive packet size = 2048
min packet receive buffers = 100

On both servers, the queues that hold the lpd print jobs are serviced by
Netware for Macintosh (ATPS).

Are there any other SET parameters that need to be tweeked or do I have to
add the NFS name space to the SYS volume to avoid problems?  I would prefer
to keep the name space off the SYS volume (and others) until we begin using
the file sharing part of NFS.

Thanks in advance.

X-To:         Netman@PHYSLOG-PO.PHYSLOG.UIOWA.EDU, novell@suvm.BITNET

Problems with Cheyenne Arcserve:

Following each of these crashes I was encouraged by Cheyenne
techs to reinstall Arcserve.  This is not only a time consumming
process, it rendered the database of my past backup sessions
inaccessible.

          Yea, I do this on a regular schedule (about every 10-12 days
          as that is how offten Cheyenne says "Lets try reinstalling
          the software".  I type a lot now.  And I DO NOT like it.

That evening, I could not log into the network and found ARCSERVE
error messages on the server console stating the the "queue could
not be found."

          Never crashed the server on me, but loading the NLM's has.
          Server NW3.11 just locked or abended.

 I then unloaded the Arcserve NLM, which produced
a message about "Module did not release resources".  Seconds
later I experienced my first ABEND.  The main error message

Interestingly enough, after rebooting the server, upon the
resumption of backing up the server, I got a message that the
tape was full--although at the finish of the previous backup the
log showed 1.2GB still left on the tape.

          Yea again, an incorrectly written tape appears to be full
          usually.  Not right, but it is that way for me also.

I don't know what to say about these problems.  If this were a
perfect world I would not leave unformatted tapes in the drive,
nor would I let my error-swallowing bogus user expire.  But I
don't think that such oversight should bring my server to its
knees.
          Ditto.
In such cases, I would expect Arcserve to be able to recover more
gracefully.  Certainly I should not have to reinstall the
software and lose my previous data.  This seems to run counter to
the entire notion of archive security.

Any ideas?
          Let's discuss it over a drink (and I don't drink [till
          now that is]).

Subject:      General Protection Interrupt?

Good morning...

We've been experiencing the infamous General Protection Interrupt on one of our
servers lately (of course the one that was suppose to take care of load
problems on another server) and am hoping someone can shed some light on what
the following message refers to.  After the GPI error, the message 'Running
Process MPSRV1/2' is displayed.  The red manual said to check memory,
re-install the OS and replace memory if situation persists.  We've done all
three and the error returned this morning.  Does anyone know what process
MPSRV1 or MPSRV2 is referring to?

Our setup:

IBM Model 90 running 2.15c
2 3COM523 cards
1 Dayna DL/2 for Mac Vap
1 80M SCSI Drive
1 500M SCSI Drive

The error occurs when we run machine resets which we format local hard drives
and download workstation software and we tried to do 8 which blew up, then 4
blew up this morning so am down to 2.  The workstations are Model 60s with 386
upgrade and 523 cards.

Since we had the memory replaced Friday and the error returned this morning
we're beginning to suspect that 2.15 doesn't have enough power for the 90 but
for the time being, it's going to have to get us through to the end of the
month when classes are finished.  If it should be 2.15, would 2.2 handle the
90?

Anyway, would appreciate any insight that may be offered.

Thanks

Fellow Novellists,


Just after I sent the request for help I tried a few things.


I found that the command:

		IF EXIST F:\*.*  goto loggedin
		IF NOT EXIST F:\*.* goto notloggedin

in a batch file works, as long as there really is a file in F:\

I created a Read-Only-Hidden file in the users "home" directory
which is mapped to with the root option and all is well.


A bit crude and I have offers of better solutions.


Thank you all who responded.

I'm having the same problem.  Moerten Soerensen (moerten@polisci.pol.umn.edu)
suggested making sure server NICs have entries in both HOSTS and ETHERS.  This
didn't solve my problem, and isn't a problem with you.  I wrote a C program
to build the IP address into a copy config.tel based on the contents of
SYS:ETC as a workaround until we can get RARP working.  I tried to load it
on SPLICER, but got "Access denied" in the Upload directory.  How does one
upload?

Do you have multiple subnets on one of the segments the server is connected
to?  We have three on ours, and I am guessing that this may be the problem
as it's probably not all that common.

Our server works as a router with RARPSERV loaded until the first RARP
request hits it.  Then it fails.

You probably should add
bcast=138.23.86.255 and
bcast=138.23.146.255
to the bindings here just to be safe.

>load rarpserv

Looks OK at a first glance (but don't listen to me as I don't actually have it
working! :-).

One thing we have in common though is dual framing on one of the ethernet cards.
Is anyone else routing IP through the server with 802.3 and ethernet_ii on the
one card, _and_ running RARPSERV successfully?  (grasping at straws here :-( )

serveral helpful things, I see that I did not make myself clear.

What I want to do is not only purge deleted jobs, put pending jobs as well.  I
have a laser printer hooked up to a venda-card system.  Occasionally, people
will try to print with no card in the machine; the job goes in the Q, but does
not print, as the print server thinks the printer is off line.  So the student
walks away...  The next student comes, sticks his/her card in, and the waiting
job prints -- and I have to start refunding money.

I want to be able to clean out pending jobs in some fashion, to eliminate this
problem (without having to do it by hand).  Any ideas?

We are having the same (or similar) problem, with PSERVER.NLM (v1.22 and
backwards). Documents from WordPerfect have the wrong banner, contain part of
someone elses work, and are generally an enormous pain, particularly as
students are sending several times in the hope of one success.

We are using TI=255, but this seems to be irrelevant. I believe it to be the
PSERVER.NLM (the .EXE version seems to work). I am told that it has something
to do with WordPerfect and Non-Novell Authorised fileservers, particularly
when WordPerfect prints directly to a Novell queue (not the case for us, we
use CAPTURE).

Any ideas, let alone solutions, would be wonderful.

Hope someone can help,

Cheers,

Angus

We simply examine the errorlevel after executing the RPRINTER command and
loop back if it is not zero.  For example,

:again
RPRINTER SERVER_NAME 0
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO AGAIN


This is crude, but effective.  It may loop a dozen times or more on rebooting
before the server realizes it has lost the remote printer connection and
acknowledges the reconnect.
