Your probably confusing the local and remote user names. LAN WorkPlace
RSH uses the NAME environment variable as the RSH local user namd *always*.
By default, it uses your local name as the remote username on the host
you are trying to log in to although this can be changed using the -l
flag. So, if I were sitting at a PC that a UNIX host called "kipper"
had in its hosts file as "keithpc" then...

C:\> SET NAME=keith
C:\> RSH kipper date

Would try and execute the command date on the host kipper and the RSHD
server on kipper would, assuming you are not using the /etc/hosts.equiv
mechanism, look for a ".rhosts" file in the home directory of the
account keith and examine it for a line containing either 'keithpc'
by itself or 'keithpc keith'. If it found one, the date command would run.
Now then, if I....

C:\> SET NAME=keith
C:\> RSH kipper -l davel date

the RSHD running on kipper would no longer be looking in the ".rhosts"
file in the home directory of the account keith. It would look in the
".rhosts" file in the home directory of the account davel (because that
is the account you are trying to "get in" to the UNIX system as to run,
in this case, the date command). It is davel on the UNIX system that
should have given keith@keithpc explicit permission to be davel. davel's
".rhosts" file would thus need to contain a line of the form 'keithpc' or
'keithpc keith' to grant permission (remember, your local username is
still keith, not davel).

Nothing could be simpler really. :-)

If we did rename it "NetWare Extension Pack", would you be more likely
to buy it?  I'm no authority on Novell's PPP development, but my answer
to your question would have to be "Don't hold your breath."  If Novell
started giving away PPP drivers, it might as well dismantle the entire

routing than PPP.  Sorry.  Tanstaafl.

Organization: Colorado SuperNet, Inc.

I get the following error when pserver loads on my 3.11 server:

	"Printer port requested by printer 0, LaserJetIIIP
	 is already in use.  Printer not initialized"

I just installed NetWare 3.11 on a new Gateway 2000 EISA 486DX2 66Mhz.
I restored all files from my current server using a Jumbo 250 tape 
drive and software on a client PC.  This restores all rights and the
binderies.  I only have 1 printer so I have no idea why Netware thinks 
the printer is in use.  Here is the rest of my configuration:
	UltraStore SCSI EISA Disk Controller
	NE2000 Ethernet on interrupt 5, port 360
	IBM 16/4 Token Ring on interrupt 2	

I verified that the parallel port and printer cable works by booting
the server with DOS and printing.  

The printer LaserJetIIIP is configured for LPT1 (via pconsole).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Reply-To: walters@prl.philips.co.uk
Organization: Philips Research Laboratories, Redhill, UK


We have an over worked Compaq Deskpro Novell 3.11 server which I am about to
upgrade to a Prosignia.

I believe that the topology of the network here is not good for our Novell
server. We only have one ethernet card in our main Novell server, which
generates a large amount of ethernet traffic. It would be better to fit
multiple ethernet cards so that the load is shared between NICs and ethernets.

Our network is based around having only one IP ethernet network, with bridges
allowing traffic to pass between buildings.

I assume that this means that there is no way of splitting down the Novell ipx
load to multiple ethernet cards within the server unless we do not allow IPX
protocol to pass between buildings, and feed each building with the output of
an ethernet card, which our LAN manager tells me is impossible with what we
have. (We would not want to run a separate Novell ethernet either).

Would I be right in thinking this? Could I feed 802.3 packets out
of one ethernet card (on one IPX network number), and feed ethernet II packets
out of another ethernet card to a different building on another IPX network
number, and configure half of the PCs to work with one packet type, and the
other half with the other?

Can anyone suggest alternatives ? I suppose one solution is multiple Novell
servers, which again is something we don't really want.

I have no experience of this, but I take it that a Novell server can route IP
packets from one subnet to another. If one is using EISA cards on a powerful
486 server which often has over 100 users attached, how does the performance
of this compare to dedicated routers?

Sorry for the mass of questions and uncertainties, but this subject is both
new and of interest to me.

I usually don't read this group so please send Email if you have any ideas.

I am trying to help a site using Novell 3.11 and Workplace for DOS. 
They have a SLIP connection through a Netblazer connected to their
Novell Server.  The problem is their internal network can't communicate
with the Internet (no ftp no telnet).  They have to telnet to the Netblazer
and then ftp or telnet to the Internet.  

There basic configuration is like this:

Netblazer IP address 192.124.143.1

Server: Ethernet card connected to Netblazer 192.124.143.2
ARC card connected to Novell LAN 192.124.145.2

Currently they have the default ip-router as 192.124.145.2 

I tried changing the default router to 192.124.143.2.  When I did
that they couldn't even telnet to the Netblazer.  I have not been able
to find in the documentation a means of building static routes.  

Does anyone know how to build routes on this type of setup or what we
might be doing wrong?.  Any help would be appreciated.

2) Error page after the last page of dos textis printed.

Summary: How can I unload TSR(s) as the user logs out?
Keywords: menu netware 3.11

Hello...

We run NetWare 3.11 (250-user release for the U.S. Courts) and use
Novell's menu system.  The problem I am having involves the fact
that some of our users use cc:Mail for DOS by Lotus.  We must load
a TSR called TSRMAIL for them from their login script so that they
can be notified when new mail arrives and hot-key into cc:Mail from
WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS.  I would like the system to unload the TSR
when the user chooses to logout from their main menu.  Unfortunately,
MENU appears to ignore *any* commands preceeding the !logout command.
Each users .mnu file looks like so...

...
Logout
	!logout
...

If I try something like this...the problem begins...

...
Logout
	@echo off
	tsrmail /remove
	!logout
...

NetWare totally ignores the @echo off and tsrmail /remove commands
and proceeds to immediately logout the user.  Argh...if I call a
batch file instead, tsrmail is unloaded, the user is logged out but
then I get a batch file missing error and some error about not be
being able to execute SYS:PUBLIC/LOGIN/GO001.BAT....

Can anyone tell me why NetWare ignores the commands preceeding
!logout?  and if there is any around this that does not cause
batch file missing errors, etc.?  Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated...Thanks in advance!

P.S.  NetWare *really* needs the concept of logout scripts.

BTW None of the programs I wrote work either - but I attributed that to

Q:  I have heard of something new from Novell called a MIGRATION utility.  What is it, and where can I get it?

A: The new MIGRATION utility is for upgrading from NetWare v2.12 and above to NetWare v3.11.  This utility has many advantages over the old UPGRADE utility that are documented in MIGRAT.ZIP.  MIGRAT.ZIP is available on NetWire's NovLib forum, library 6.  .
