I could see notifying a group, but simply notifying SUPERVISOR, could mean
that the message only goes to the security-intruder!

It is called NetWare v3.11 Premium.  What it is is when you buy NetWare 3.11
you are also buying an upgrade to NetWare 4.0 as well.  It's a sales
promotional item.

Subject:      Adjunct Faculty: Portland, Oregon 1JAN93

The University of Oregon Department of Continuing Education is conducting
a search for Certified Novell Instructors (CNIs) in the Portland metro area.
We are developing a rather sophisticated network certificate program, and
one of the important facets of the program will be courses in Novell
Netware.  The program is not fully developed; Winter '93 is our planned
launch date, but if we can't find instructors for the program then it will
obviously be delayed.  The position will be part-time, 4-8 hours per week.
As the program grows, this may be increased.

I have been contacted by a variety of highly qualified people in computer
science.  Unfortunately -- at this point -- we are interested only in
instructors who have CNI certification from Novell.  CNE won't due, nor
will a PhD.  Sorry.  We are exploring other avenues within this program
and may be able to hire more network instructors in the future.  At this
time, however, we are searching only for CNIs.

If you are interested in the position and need more information, please
contact me directly at:

Subject:      IPX source code for C Libraries

Does anybody have any source code for ANYTHING that uses IPX?  I have
been trying to implement a Peer-to-Peer connection using a combination
of IPX and SPX and have been having severe problems.  The only source
code that I've been able to get is for the spxchat that comes with the C
libraries.

There are a few files on compuserve that appear to be what I need but
they are not locatable by archie.  If anybody has a file that begins
with IPX, it may contain what I need.

Thanks!

I know that someone just asked a question about how many printers
could a XT run with pserver.exe.  What I want to know is if anyone
has an XT running pserver.exe only supporting remote printers?  Right
now I have pserver.nlm running on my 3.11 server.  It is supporting

Can an XT handle this type of load?  Thanks.

Oh, getting a security fix from an ftp-server is SOOO complicated. I'm
quite sure hackers could never do a thing like that.

Almost all the hackers in this country allready have KNOCK.EXE, and so
does anyone that really wants to get at your data. Sticking your head in
the sand won't help. You're protecting pieces of information that are
already widely distributed by the time you see them.

is the problem!  If someone sits down in Lab A and attaches to the server in
Lab then is there a way to automagically change the capture definition so
the output appears in Lab A?

Well, I suggest moving to Poland - here we are are keen on TCP/IP and dislike
X.400 :-)
By the way: can someone explain WHY FOR THE GOD'S SAKE so many "standard-making
bodies", governments and PTT's so strongly support CCITT standards (X.25, X.400)
against Internet standards (TCP/IP, SMTP)? I really do not see much superiority
in them... I had been using X.400 for few months when I was abroad and cannot
say I was impressed by it.

No.  Xircom has decided that their source code should be proprietary.
This has cost them some business, e.g. the Unix market.

Fellow Netters,
We are looking at the purchase of an EISA Intel '486DX2-66 based server.  I had
a vendor recommend only buying the "DX" line (ie not upgraded cpu) which would
"limit" us to a '486-50.  He said that NW 3.11 had a problem with these units
due to an I/O bottleneck caused by the slower motherboard bus speed.  Has
anyone used the 486DX2-66s yet as a file server?  Any feedback would be greatly
appreciated!

Subject:      Batch email

We're using Microsoft Mail 2.1 (soon to be upgraded) on our Novell Network.
It sure would be handy to use it in batch mode like the email on the VAX.

For instance, I'd like to run Arcserve backups on end user workstations and
send them an email upon successful completion.  This would all be automated
of course.  Anyone have ideas on how this could be done?


PS, I'm not a fan of Arcserve!

Subject:      utility to rename objects

Last year one of you graciously send me a file that will rename
bindery objects at the command line. This was very helpful,
because I had 600 users to rename and I did not want to use
syscon to do them.

I have lost the file and would like to pass it on to a friend.
If you are reading this, would you send it to me again?

Thanks.

The file name was renob.exe or renbo.exe, packed I think as
renbo.zip.

We use Maynard software and a 2.2Gb DAT drive.
This is attached to a workstation via a SCSI interface, and has a timetable
facility enabling us to back up automatically - we do it just after
midnight. Over the week, we backup 7 servers but will shortly be expanding
this to 10.  The software will also backup stand-alone discs, over the
network, but we have not used this mechanism.

Only action of out operators is to check that the workstation
is on, and to pop in a tape.    It seems reliable, but we did have some
teething troubles initially.

There was some comment in this mail list a few days ago about excessive
sorting times (of the directory \MAIL) for backups of servers with many
many accounts - over about 1500 was noted.  We did see this on an early
version of the software, but have not hit it with recent releases and our
registered loads of about 780 users on a server.
