Subject: NE2000, 3c501 Drivers wanted
Organization: University of Toronto, Engineering Computing Facility
Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1993 10:25:52 GMT


  I am trying to get the OS/2 TCP/IP package from the 11/92 PDK CD-ROM
running.  I have been following the suggestions from the tcpstart.txt
file from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu but when I try to install the drivers using
LAPS I get stuck because neither an NE2000 nor a 3c501 driver are available,
the two cards for which I need drivers.  I tried to use the 3c501 driver
from the 3-COM ftp site but I get a complaint that the .nif file is no
good.  Same story for the NE2000 .nif I got from ftp-os2.
  Can anyone point me to a source for the drivers I am looking for?

I am still trying to get it to work. I only have time to try this
once a week and without the proper documentation (as I am using
betas from Nov PDK CDROM) doesn't help at all.

I'll update if I get these working together.

Now for some experience ...... my OS/2 PC saved the day last week
when one of the Novell supervisors in a place I work for deleted
a lot of stuff in the /LOGIN directory ( as well as some others
) accidentally. And as a result, no one can login to the Novell 3.11
server anymore from DOS PCs BUT NOT my OS/2 box as it has its own
login programs and this saves the day in restoring what was deleted.

I'm trying to run some server applications on OS/2 2.0 SE with the
Network Transport Services package for NetBIOS support.

The NetBIOS seemed to install correctly.  Every time I boot it says
it's up and running.

BUT, when I run the application, it complains that it can't find
port lan0.  The online documentation seems to suggest that I should
be able to get to the port configurations through a network folder
which I don't see on my desktop.

Can anybody tell me what I'm done wrong?  Suggestions?

Thanks,
Bob

Have you tried the LANMAN listserv?  They have quite a few people

  The problem, however, is that a SAP can only be open in one place at a

I'm not sure what the problem is, but I can tell you that a similar
setup on our system works fine (for Quattro and WfW).  Here are some
details from our setup.  We're running OS/2 2.0 + SP with TCP/IP
including all the latest and greatest CSDs from hobbes.nmsu.edu.

ON THE REMOTE MACHINE (without the printer attached):
        The target printer is "hp3ps" on machine "fidder".
        In \startup.cmd:
                start lprmon -b -php3ps -sfiddler lpt1
        Printer icon settings:
                printer driver: PSCRIPT.HP Laserjet III v52_2
                job properties: default
                output: LPT1
                queue options: driver = PMPRINT; print-while-spooling = on
                print options: default
        WinOS/2:
                ATM on (turned on and fonts installed from floppy disk)
                control panel, printers, Use print manager = off;
                        appropriate printer drivers installed and active
ON THE MACHINE WITH THE PRINTER ATTACHED:
        Pretty much the same setup, except that the printer icon
              has "printer specific format" turned on (is this needed?
              I don't really know...)


Good luck!

I just started installing IBM LAN Server 3.0 last night.  From the
documentation it appears that peer services are quite independent
from LAN Server.  Specifically, it is mentioned that peer resources
may be shared even when the LAN Server is down.

This makes me think that peer services could be used alone.  Although
they aren't very powerful, for networking two PC's the one user limit
for sharing would not be a problem.

I realize the idea of buying LAN Server 3.0 just for peer services
is a bit whacky, but it seems that if this configuration is possible/
usable, IBM should offer peer services as a separate product.

  I have just finished porting the UNIX mpeg 1.2 viewer to OS2.  It runs
in family mode, so it will also run on 386 dos machines that do not have
strange memory configurations.

  The program is quite fast, approximately 3-4 frames a second on my 25-mhz
486DX ( Cacheless ).  Color dithering, a nice grayscale, and a simulated
18-bit color mode are supported.  I will place the program on several
FTP sites soon ( in a few days ).  When I have added some features I like
and optimized the code somewhat.

  Interested people please mail me.

Although it might be in Prej's case, this is as "real" as problem as any.
It can be a real convenince with DECwindows or Motif set up where you can add
the node name to the application. Select the node name you want to set host
to and up pops the window and ask you for the password. This could be done
and I've seen it done.

Do all of your Exabytes have the same hardware revision level?  I had an
Exabyte that had the same behavior when I changed the ROMs.  Sorry, I cant
recall what the revision level was, but I fell back on our old ROMS (425A)
and the problem went away.

Summary: string search and replace
Keywords: strings, search, replace, editors, source
Organization: Univ. of North Carolina @ Wilmington
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1993 02:26:47 GMT

Hi everyone,
	I am on a VMS machine running at least VMS version 5.5.  My question
is I would like to know if there is a utility already out there on the
net that will search and replace a string in multiple files?  Something
like, strrpl <files> <string1> <string2>.  Any help here would be much
appreciated.
    The previous question actually arises from my need to replace a 
string in multiple files and also append a comment to the end of the line
where the replacement occurred.  I am not sure a utility such as the one 
mentioned previously would help me but the utility would be very handy for 
some other tasks.   I would welcome any help in either case.
	To be clearer, what my problem involves is the removal of all 
references to logicals from several hundred perhaps thousands of files.
To maintain certain standards of code maintenance each change in the code 
has to commented.  This includes removing logicals.  So each time I remove a
logical it will have to be commented on the same line with a reference to
a revision number.
	I have attempted to create an lse command procedure to do the trick 
but just haven't managed to get it quite right.  If someone could 
perhaps e-mail me a possible solution I would be very grateful.  I could
use any solution that would work at the DCL level or with any of the editors
edt, tpu or lse.  BTW I can actually and did replace strings in multiple
files using an edt command procedure but appending a comment on each line
as I remove a logical or string has me stumped.  

If you can help me, please e-mail me at.....
hawks@seq.uncwil.edu
	
Thanks for any help,
					Dave (hawks@seq.uncwil.edu)

ps.
	Even though I know how to replace strings in multiple files using 
command files executed by the editor it would be nice to have one that 
was more general and run at the DCL level.

	Could anybody out there please tell me what the best way to set
	operator accounts up is, ie. should the different operators go though
	their own accounts, or should there be a common account with full
	privs. Is it possible to give privs only on request using com, exe
	programs without having to give the setprv priv initially .... ???

	Any thoughts on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

There is no one best answer.  It depends on what you use your system for,
what you expect your operators to do, how much training you expect them to
have, and many other things.

There are some general rules:

	1.  Maintain accountability.  If someone does something on the system,
		make sure you can track it back to them.  This is partly a
		matter of security, on the "bull in the china shop" theory
		(you can always buy new china, but the bull is dead meat),
		but also just good management practice:  When something goes
		wrong, it helps to find the person who changed things in
		order to understand what he did and why and possibly change
		it back.

		A single shared account instantly loses accountability.  It
		also implies a shared password - usually a bad idea.  A
		secret that's known by one person will stay secret; a secret
		that's known by two may soon spread; one known by four or
		five will quickly be known by yet more.

		Some sites use a single privileged account with an additional
		"sign in" in a forced login file.  (Individual operators on
		such a system usually get individual non-privileged accounts
		as well.)  The theory is to provide a central log of operator
		logins.  Often, the "sign in" asks for a one-line comment
		about what the person intends to do.  This can be useful IF
		you can convince everyone to give useful answers!  In most
		cases, it quickly gets seen as just another pain in the neck
		and the logs fill with "reasons" like "Fix system".

	2.  Give the minimum privilege required to get the job done.  An
		operator who will only be doing backups needs READALL, but
		really not much else.

	3.  Especially when dealing with untrained staff, it may be worth your
		while to create captive scripts to let them do their jobs,
		but nothing else.  For example, many sites have a "backup"
		account which is runs a captive script.  All it can do is
		backups.

In answer to your general questions:  Privileges can be associated with an
executable image (using INSTALL), and you can restrict access to that image
using either the SOGW (system/owner/group/world) protection mask or ACL's,
which can give you very fine-grained control.  Privileges CANNOT be directly
associated with a command file (though for cases like the backup script, you
can get a similar effect).
