Most likely any CD that can be loaded on a CD connected to at PC or the
file server can be shared if you have the right software and drivers.

Yes.  There are two types,  software that runs on a dedicated PC attached
to the Novell Network or software that runs on the server for CD drives
attached to the file server.

>3. Are any differences between CD-ROM with NOVELL 2.2 and with 3.11?

Yes,  SCSI Express, which runs as a NLM on the file server, requires 3.1 or
greater.
It is what we use.

We decided to go with SCSI Express on the file server.  The performance is
better that using a dedicated PC.  SCSI Express also takes advantage of the
Novell OS and makes use of Cache, etc.  Also mounts the CDs as volumes and
uses Novell's security.  We saw as the smartest choice for sharing CDs on a
Novell Network.

This is our file server configuration:

IBM PS/2 Model 95
32Mb RAM
4 SCSI Host Adapter Cards ( 1 IBM SCSI - hard disks and 3 Bustek - CDs)
2 400Mb SCSI Drives
12 CD Drives ( 3 Towers of 4 drives each)
SCSI Express ver 1.09
Novell NetWare ver 3.11
125 Users


Installation and setup went very smoothly.  We bought all the hardware and
software for the CDs from BDS, Inc. in VA.  They had the best price and the
best support.  CNEs trained by Micro Design International are available to
help and troubleshoot.

	This is normal AppleTalk behavior.  The NW4Mac manual has a pretty
	good discussion on how to change a network's configuration.  I presume
	the Webster box is getting its config from atalkatab from unix?
	If so, to change the configuration, you need to simultaneously change
	the config on EVERY AppleTalk router on the cable.  I would suggest:

	1) change the NW4Mac ethernet configuration to non-seed, then
	down the server (to turn it off).  Leave it off for ~10 minutes,

	2) Change the multigate's config in unix.

	3) turn the multigate off, leave it off for 10 minutes.

	4) reboot multigate with new config,

	5) bring the nw4mac server/router up

	Do the same for as many AppleTalk routers you have.

	AppleTalk is a pain in doing this kind of stuff...

Hi all!

Can anyone help with the following problem?

We run several file servers and want to limit the number of servers holding
remote boot images for our labs.

Does anyone know of a way to turn off/disable the processing of a remote boot
request at the file server?

Is there any other way of doing it, besides hiding diskless PCs behind the
server holding the required remote boot image.

Alistair.

We have set up some applications servers here which are essentially
partially mirrored file servers.  The primary reason was for reduced
network bandwidth requirements, as we have one on each of 3 campuses.
It also lets us get past the 250 user limit without going to 1000
user NetWare, and gives some redundancy if a server goes down.

To do this we use two things:

    1.  We run NetWare Name Service.  This is not necessary, but
makes it easier to ensure that users are always added to all three
servers.

    2.  I wrote a program which takes a set of netware paths and
file specs, and synchronises the files and associated trustees in
those paths between two servers (trustees based on Name rather than
object ID).  It only handles the DOS name space.  I can make this
available via FTP if anyone else would find this useful.  Volunteers
for a site?

We manage one "master" server, and run a batch program every few
hours which ensures the "slaves" are synchronised.  Some directories
can't be sync'd (eg SYS:SYSTEM, SYS:MAIL), but most others can.  This
also cuts down our backup requirements as we only need to backup the
master locally, and the few directories which are different on the
slaves across a wide area link.

Hope this is of some help,

Subject:      NAS Questions

          I am running NetWare Access Server v1.22 w/current patches
          on a NW3.11 LAN.  Because we want to keep our NAS server in
          a closet, we need to administer it through IPX network
          connections; yet when we do this, it is visible through our
          entire internet.  Is there any way to stop the NAS server
          from advertising outside its own subnet?

          We would also like to be able to TELNET and FTP from a NAS
          session.  We currently use LWP for the rest of the lan, but
          there seems to be an incredible amount of obstacles to
          overcome before using it inside of NAS (no LSL stack is a
          pretty hard one).  I am going to play around with NCSA
          telnet today, but was wondering if anyone has gotten (A) LWP
          to run inside of NAS or (B) any other telnet/ftp package to
          run there.

X-To:         Novell LAN Interest Group <NOVELL@suvm.acs.syr.EDU>

      Yo Campers!

      Ohhh.. we're in big trouble now..

      One of our brainier researchers has kept all of his data
      collected over the past year on a single DAT tape.  Last week,
      in an attempt to test his WangDat drive, he overwrote the header
      with NovaStor's test pattern.  ("It only ran for a couple
      seconds," he says, "I mean, how much damage could be done?")

      NovaStor techs say he's hosed.  PIVAR data recovery (NovaStor's
      recommended recovery service) says it'll cost $5-10K to recover
      the remaining tape.

      Has anyone had any experience with recovering data from a DAT
      tape?  Any recommendations for this beleaguered administrator
      and his panicked professor?

      Thanks in advance.

Here's an unofficial idea - you guys tell me what you think:

If you hold the Alt key down and enter three digits on the keypad you get
the equivilent of that key pressed. Alt-255 will get you a non-space space,
that is a blank space that's not equivilent to the space bar.

Combining your different ideas, I created a separate NCF file which invokes
RCONSOLE, inserted an Esc and then an Alt-255 as the password. I know you
can't enter the Esc from RCONSOLE, but can you enter the Alt-255 from
XCONSOLE? I'll have to try that but I'm not even sure I'd know how.

Someone try this and let me know...

I often wonder if the cure isn't worse than the malady.  Some of the

Anyway, all the patches are on NetWire, and should be on

Maybe it's time to call Micropolis?--

Help!

I just downloaded charon 4.0 thinking that I could at last get rid of the
charon 2.0a I had been using (As well as 3.4), but it doesn't want to work for
me :( The SMTP stuff seems to go OK, but the LPR spooling keeps giving me a
warning about the spool dir and then doesn't do anything, except give more
warnings.

eg

TIME:  warn: SPJ error opening tagfile in master server spool directory
TIME:  warn: Outgoing:: Unable to create Spool Job
TIME:  warn: SPJ Unable to delete spool file sys:home/charon/spool/data/DATA
TIME:  info: SERVER/QUEUE Aborting Job XXX

and keeps repeating this for all the jobs in the queues being serviced. There
is no mention of any LPR errors in the manual (In facet the only mention of LPR
and LPD in the manual is so sparse I was almost convinced it didn't do LPD
until I looked in the sample charon.dat file...).

Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong? The charon print server is a member of
the charon gropup, and the charon group has full access to the directory
sys:home/charon and all its subdirectories.

(Yes the spool and spool/data directories do exist. It makes no difference
whether they are there or not. Same errors..)

If IBM wants to give you a copy that they bought.....who can complain? If IBM
owns it, then they can charge what they like - including nothing.

There are also beta releases floating around FTP sites that can be downloaded.
They aren't as stable as the commercial release - but they work.

Before everyone rushes out and innundates Joe's server with requests for

I guess I am looking for the all the options and see which would work for me.
 Does everyone log into one server and attach to the other, or log into both or
 just keep both servers identical except for user accounts.  This is assuming of
 course that all users want access to the same apps and utilities.

thanks for any real life setups.

X-To:         novell@suvm.syr.edu

I am having problems with ATPS.

atps.cfg looks like:

-o "TI_Q" -wb -l -f applwpls


The problem is printing the second time.  It works great the first time.

I have noticed that the laser prep file in sys:system/app710.prs is not the
same as the header in the file I send to print.

Printing works fine if I keep deleting the files app710.prs and *.qry.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have a program to automatically disable connections which
are either idle orone that will disable all individuals logged in more
than one half hour.

As I understand it, NOvell recommends setting every individual log in
to have at least one half hour restricted from use during the day.  
This does clear the system of people who are logged in more than one
day.

HOwever, it means that individuals cannot work through the night
if they want to.

I searched the Novell FAQ and info.umi.edu contents list and I didn't
see anything to perform this function.

Clearly, there must be a better way of removing unneeded connections.

Thanks for any help that someone can provide.
