Mark,

Novell released a product last week called NETWARE ROUTER FOR AS/400 PC SUPPORT.
This platform allows TokenRing, Ethernet and ....yes, Arcnet to simulate 3270
terminal emulation accross their various topoloties.  Contact your nearest

Subject: Help with SBACKUP
Date: 7 Apr 92 13:30:06 GMT

Hi erveryone !

Last week I found some strange things with SBACKUP: I tried to transfer a large
amount of data (30 MB) form one server (at the University) to another. We used
SBACKUP to make a copy of the data.
Later I tried to restore the data to my fileserver. SBACKUP gave me the following 
message:
error writing data set ! scan type not used ! 
I tought, my server needs the other server's name, so I did. I renamed the server 
- same message. After some trial with redirection I get another:
error writing data set ! could not create/update directory entry !
SBACKUP didn't restore any data.


(I reproduce the message from mind, so don't look at the words ! )

Now I took a new tape and made the following:
 - I created a new group, gave it directory trustees for user:user/backes
 - I made a backup with SBACKUP of this directory
 - I deleted the group
 - Tried to restore and - BANG!! - the same error messages and no restore.

My Configuration :
386/33 8 MB RAM running NW 386 -250 user. SBACKUP & Co as on the disks (are there any
updates/patches ?). 2 300 MB and one 1,4GB disks, the 300's mirrored. 
Tape: Wangtek SCSI. I did the tests with some volumes dismounted to have more
memory in my server for SBACKUP. (naturaly the ones I tried to restore on were
mounted).

I looked into SBACKUP.NLM with a file viewer an found Help Screens I have never seen.
The same in monitor: there are help screens for features I whish I would have. Are
there some undocumented switches ?

Back to SBACKUP: Did anymone had the same problems ? Are there solutions ?

Thanks in advance

we've wrestled Keith to the ground and finally got his keyboard away

Subject: Netware-NFS eats up CPU when UNIX queue disabled
Date: 9 Apr 92 11:53:37 GMT
Organization: OCE Nederland B.V.

Using Netware NFS I found a possible bug in the "Printing to Unix" module.
The LPR Print Server on the Novell file server redirects several
printqueues to a Unix Sparc1+.
 
Stopping the queue ("lpc disable printer") makes the Novell file server 
very nervous: 
it will fill the audit.log file with the same message until the upper limit
is reached, continuing writing to the disk and sends a lot of Ethernet packets 
on the net, consuming about 39% of the CPU time of the server (while there
are no users; it is a test machine).  
Error message from remote lPD server:
Cannot begin spooling job on .......; error from remote LPD

Question: Does anyone know if can you turn off this behaviour (e.g. 
by changing the retry-period or something like that ?).

My Question:  Can a non-Apple printer, on a LocalTalk net, service 
an AppleTalk print queue on NW 2.2?

I have a NW 2.2 server with Ethernet MacIIci's and LocalTalk printers.
My problem is only Apple printers are supported by NW for Mac on 2.2.
This is fine for the ImageWriters but I have an HP LaserJet III with
AppleTalk and PostScript, and a DeskWriter.  It's clear how to do this
with NW 3.11 and Mac NLM 3.01.  But I can't figure out how to get
MacSetup to see anything other than the supplied Apple printer drivers.
Are there drivers I can add to the supplied ones?  How do I get MacSetup
or the print server to use them?

Two questions:  How can I save TRACK's data to a file.  In DOS I would do
something like TRACK ON > TRACK.DAT.  Can NetWare do this?

Second, is their docs on what TRACK can do and what I can do with the data?

I really don't know how to describe this problem.  I can't narrow it down
at all.  A small group has setup a Novell 3.11 network off of a DEMPR
connected to the campus backbone.  There are 8 other recognizable file
servers (display servers) and 5 known networks.  I think everyone has the
same network number (i.e. bind ipx to wdplussv network=2 - everybody is
network 2).  If I change the network number, routers complain that such and
such network at address blah should be such and such network.

Everything works for a few weeks.  A few days ago, each person was logged
out - unexplainably.  More like the machines locked up and nobody could log
back in.  Ten minutes it fixed itself.  A half hour later it went back down
and this time it stayed down overnight.  When I say down I don't mean the
file server.  So far as I could tell, the file server was running.  Just
couldn't get to it.  During these black outs, the server does NOT recognize
all, if any, of the other file servers.  Same with the networks.  Some but
not all are seen.  I jump off the backbone and everything works.  

My question - can somebody be doing something to there network that causes
our people to be knocked off of the system?  Any ideas or solutions would
be greatly appreciated (ANY IDEAS!!).  Email direct or post - I will
summarize and post.

Thanks.

Well, i didn't see the article, so i can't comment on it.  About all i
can say is that "NetWare on TCP/IP" shipped in NetWare v3.11, only we
made the unfortunate mistake of calling it the "IP tunnel".

No.  I just wanted you to tell me what interested you in the
hypothetical "NetWare over TCP/IP" product, and what would make you
think it was better than the existing NetWare over TCP/IP support.  In
your post you mentioned getting away from the static configuration of
the IP tunnel.  What else?

>Like I said, this is PURE speculation (really wild guessing - it

Novell moved away from an IPX-centric world quite a while ago.  It just
didn't abandon IPX as it broadened its horizons to cover other protocols.

WordPerfect Office does a very nice job for tracking (we've been using it
since July '91).  Five-user base package is about $300, and 20-user license
upgrades are $800 each.

Office includes job tracking, email, resoruce scheduling, an appointment
calendar, a dos text/macro editor, and a flat-file database program.

A very good buy if you ask me.

If anyone has or get this package, however, DON'T follow the installation
procedure in the manual, as it creates several minor security holes.  Nothing
that can't be fixed, though. (Although these security holes could be considered
major depending on your environment).

Okay, I was thinking last night what I would do with a Telnet session

quoted about $5,000 for Novell's NFS software.  That's a lot of money
for not a lot of bang.  What does NFS stand for?

My goal is to make the file server disk transparent to either a UN*X host

Another possibility (and I think it works better with bad behaving programs)
is the assign command. Sample:

assign a=c

makes your program think it accesses your floppy disc drive; actually all
BIOS-calls are redirected to drive C: .

assign ;

will undo the assignment. WARNING! Some weird combinations of assign, subst
and join might make these programs unreachable; then you can't undo your
'work'.

I posted a message (article?) on here a couple weks ago about an Amstrad
PPC640 portable. I'd acquired it from a place called Underware
Electronics, which advertises in Computer Shopper and elsewhere.
  Alas, this (refurbished) machine had some serious "out of alignment"
drive problems. So I sent it back for replacement. Underware was kind
enough to send a UPS pickup tag, so I didn't have to pay return
shipping.
  A day or so later, they were kind enough to let me make an exchange -
instead of getting another Amstrad, I'll be getting an Emerson 286/12mhz
desktop with a meg o' RAM, two hi-density floppies, 20 meg IDE hard
drive, VGA (with mono VGA monitor), and a TON of free software. Check
the May Computer Shopper for this deal. For everything (except the
monitor), they're asking $329. Six month warranty, 30 day "no questions"
money-back guarantee.
  The software is stuff like Quattro, PFS Professional Write, Turbo
Pascal, etc. Probably older versions, but what the Hell... also comes
with DOS 3.31 (older version, but what the Hell...).
  The mono VGA monitor costs $80.
  Is this a deal, or what?
  Their number is 1-800-442-1408. No, I don't work for them, but I *DO*
recommend them! They've got everything from XT clones ($129 for a 10mhz
w/640k & two 360k flops) to 386s, 486s, laptops, CD-ROM drives,
