Subject: Deleting files from a Novell Volume
Followup-To: bit.listserv.novell
Organization: Northwestern University
Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1993 18:18:43 GMT

I have a department concerned about the accessibility of deleted files on a
Novell volume.  Their concern is this.  If they delete a file, then purge
it is it gone or can it be recovered by some application like Norton
Utilities' UnErase?  They are concerned about the chance of confidential
files which are thought to be deleted being recovered in some way from the
disk (kind of the Ollie North type scenario...).

If a file after using delete and purge can be recovered is there an
application which writes over it like the Norton utility "Wipefile"?

Thanks,
Peter...

Hi there everyone

I have a Ultra 14F ISA SCSI HOST ADAPTER from UltraStor Corp. The apadter 
comes with a Netware Driver U14_31x.dsk Version 1.01. This driver seems to 
not work to well as it makes the server abend. This may be a long shot but 
does anyone out there know where I can get a newer version of the driver if 
it is available.

Thanks

Basically, Capture can tell when some packages have finished printing, so
timeout=0 is fine for them.  If Capture can't, you can specify that the
timeout is say, 5 secs, so then capture waits 5 secs after some printer
output is received from the package, and if it receives no more output then
it assumes it is the end of the print job.  However, some packages print in
bursts (dot matrix
graphic dumps do this) and there is a large time gap between chunks of
print output.  If capture's timeout is too short then, it assumes end of
job between the chunks and thus separates the output into different jobs.

WP51 is Network aware and thus doesn't work properly! (I've found) so I set
it up using an ordinary comms port, and set a appropriate timeout for
capture.

Subject:      Tracking dialups

In trying to stabilize our dialup to the LAN I've been trying to
devise a strategy as to how to determine who is dialing in and
when.  We have a multi-server environment so each user has to use
the form:

      server/account

My assumption is that once the login has begun control is turned
over to the system login script on the new server and that the
default/preferred server becomes the user's server immediately.
What I'm trying to avoid is writing out to separate files on each
server and having to merge them into one database.  Can anyone
tell me if there is any attachment maintained with, perhaps, the
original SYS:LOGIN directory of the server that would give me an
opportunity to have a log file written there?  Or are there any
other methods.  I will need to have the user's account and time
of login in the record.

Must I have a special maintenance agreement, or what's going on?

I would say it shouldn't be very difficult if we're talking about an

Subject:      Netware 3.11/DEC MicroVAX interaction

We are talking to one of our Health Insurance Vendors about a system that they
have to allow us to do some cost analysis of our claims data. It is written
for Oracle 6.0, which they have running on a DEC MicroVAX back-end.

They are telling us they prefer to set this up as a stand-alone system,
connected with Ethernet cable.  I already have a 70-node Netware 3.11 system
installed here using Thin Ethernet, which everyone in the department uses for
everything from word processing to e-mail.

My question is - will the two systems pass data over the same wire without
conflicts, so that I don't have to buy two computers for everyone who needs to
use this new system? I have a mixture of 3Com and Cabletron NIC's on the net
now.

One of those great questions for you Systems Integrators out there!

I would appreciate any information anyone can give me on making this work, if
possible.  I can get more information from their techies if it will help. (Not
being a Vaxen myself, I don't even know the model numbers of anything in this
system)

Thanks for all of the replies about the printing problem.  After I posted the
note it dawned on me that some idiot could have have monkeyed with the printer
config.  Obviously, Netware sends the banner page as straight text and whatever
 the settings are for the printer dictate how it will print.  Of course the
print job itself has software codes to override those settings. We have learned
a valuable lesson in printing troubleshooting.  If the users can mess with it,
they probally will.

        Yes, we have been running it for years. It used to be NW/VMS and
after the political waves settled it is as you see it now. It works, on
the main campus VAX and on my VAX, and looks like regular NetWare to the
user. Interconnections Inc is actively enhancing things in the backrooms.

Subject:      tn3270 on lan workplace for dos

Novell asks bunches of money for the tn3270 emulator for lan
workplace for dos.  Has anyone developed a freeware emulation of this
terminal for lwp?  I understand that novell may have offered the
source code to enable third parties to develop such an emulator.

Alternatively, does novell have a good site license for their tn3270?

Any help appreciated.

Subject:      printdef,printcon to switch printer between postscript and pcl

We have a couple of nec printers (1 290 and 1 95) that can be
switched between postscript mode and HP's pcl printer language.  The
trick is to put printer in postscript mode and then send message to
shift to pcl and at the end of the print job send a pcl code to shift
back to postscript mode.  I have the codes to do this.  What I would
like to do is set up a print job on the novell server that would
send the switching codes so that users could just capture to that
que and job and send laserjet code.  I just don't
know how to set up a printer device etc using printdef and printcon
to send these codes to the printer.  When in printdef, I can see how
to enter codes, however, it is not clear to me how to enter things
like 'control D' or 'delete key'.  Is there some manual somewhere
that shows how this is done?

Any help appreciated.
