Folgende Mail ging bereits am 14.August an ac1@uni-duesseldorf.de :


Generell gibt es meines Wissens keine Moeglichkeit in Novell die Abarbeitung
des SystemLoginScripts zu unterbinden.

Aber:....

Ich habe da mal ein Tool geschrieben, mit dem man (fast) jede Anwendung so
abbrechen kann, dass der Rechner wieder normal auf DOS Ebene landet.

Das ist ein TSR und wartet auf die Tasten CTRL-BREAK.

Damit kann man dann an beliebiger Stelle das Login unterbrechen.

Hopefully ist denn bereits ein Drive gemountet...Dann kannst Du wieder ganz
normal arbeiten.


Wenn Dich das TSR interessiert, dann kann ich es Dir ja mailen, aber wohin ??

To get the serial number you need to be a supervisor in the system. 
Check out the File Server information API call which gives you all the
information you want about the server.

Subject: Mirror copies of FAT don't match on drive
From: tgkreimer@miavx2.ham.muohio.edu (Tom Kreimer)
Date: 22 Aug 92 20:48:30 EDT
Organization: Miami University, Hamilton campus

We recently purchased a Maxtor XT-8760EH hard drive, simialr to the 
XT-8760E that has given us no trouble for almost two years. The new
drive, however, works great until the second time we try to mount it.
At this point, it tells us that "The mirror copies of the FAT don't 
match" and the drive does not mount.

I don't know the structure of a Novell disk, but the drive is not mirrored,
so I suppose it has two copies of the FAT like a DOS disk does.

What makes it really wierd is that VREPAIR finds problems completely randomly.
Even if I don't write the corrections to the disk, one time it will find 64
errors, the next time 128, and the next will find no problems. (This happened
once, the errors aren't always in "computer" increments.) Even an empty drive
will find problems with free blocks not marked as bad or used and even the
root directory itself. VREPAIR will find no problems and the drive will mount
about 20-25% of the time.

Background info:
Netware 3.11 on a CompuAdd 325 (a 25Mhz 386)
The XT-8760 is a ESDI drive of approx. 625 MB and is Novell certified
CompuAdd HardCache ESDI controller with 4MB cache (has worked great with the 
	previous XT-8760 drive)
The new drive will contain one unsegmented volume
The old drive continues to work fine
The old drive came pre-formatted

What we've tried:
Low-level format with the HardCache controllers FMT program (tried this twice)
Format and surface check with INSTALL (tried this twice)
VREPAIR (tried this about 20 times)
Called the vendor, Hard Drives International
	Though not unhelpful, they are a DOS shop and suggested we call
	Novell (er, our reseller). They will replace the drive if we 
	want, though. (It took long enough to get in the first place.)

Any pointers will be appreciated (Insight to the "mirror copies of the FAT
don't match" message, problems with the new 8760EH drive as opposed to the 
8760E drives, low-level format procedures)

Hi,

The desktop files can be "re-initialized" (for lack of a better phrase) using
the following command lines at the server console prompt:

UNLOAD AFP
LOAD AFP CDT

The CDT flag is used to "CLEAR" the DESKTOP.  For the most part, all that gets
done here is to delete the old desktop files and recreate them to their original
or nominal sizes.

Desktop information will be restored to these files as Macintoshes login and get
file services from the server.  So, over time, you will in effect re-build your
desktop.  If you wish to replace all the desktop information quickly, you can
use the procedure of holding down the COMMAND and OPTION keys while mounting the
NetWare for Macintosh volume(s).  This must be done from a 6.x Macintosh OS, and
while using FINDER not MULTIFINDER.  Also, you must login as SUPERVISOR
and make sure that no other Macintosh users are logged in at that time.

As you have pointed out, the System 7 Macintosh operating system cannot re-build
the desktop on the NetWare for Macintosh file server.  Functionality changes in
System 7 FINDER are the cause of this problem. However,  Novell will definately
take steps to circumvent this problem.  Please look for these changes in  
future release(s) of NetWare for Macintosh.

Hope this information helps...

When the system comes up, Netware looks for a login directory and assigns a 
directory pointer to it.  Whenever anyone attaches, Netware gives them the 
pointer.  Hence, if you rename your login directory, everything will still 
work until you down the server.  When you bring it back up, you're hosed.  
To answer your question, recreate the login directory, copy the files 
needed (login, slist, etc), bring down the server, and bring it back up.  
That should fix you up.  You can also do the creation and copying from the 
install procedure.  It's easier but takes longer since you also copy system 
and public files.

The name is quite informative :-)   
There are a few rather cryptically named programs there, perhaps a brief

Well, all you would really have to keep in the login directory is
dmenu.bat if you use
  #logout
  #exit
to leave the menu, but I'll admit, it is a kludgy solution.  It works
best if you leave the temporary batch files on local drives.  I am trying
to think of a better way to do this, but dos is such a limiting enviroment.
Does any one have any suggestions?

The latest version is v1.67 and it is in the pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS directory
on wuarchive.wustl.edu.  It is called dmenu167.zip.
