assistant: Hello All
I just started using Stomper to share my faxmodem on a novell 3.12 network
but I seem to have some problems. When I`ve installed all novell + dos
drivers and I start a simple dos program like TELIX or FXTERM on a client the
modem doesn`t respond at all. It juist keeps counting down until zero.
I`ve loaded the next commands in my server:
load aiocomx port=2F8 INT=3
load stmgr
load stomper /p1,1,0
and next dos commands on my client:
stmgr
netfos /P1  (I`ve tried P1, P2 and P3)
my modem server screen on my server displays :
000000000001 com2  IDLE
BS:      0 BR.      0 ID.
I can acces this screen from my client without any problem using `stmon`
possible cause? : my aiocomx.nlm is version 2.00 and in the docs it says you
need at least 2.11 (can anybody get this for me or tell me where to get it?)
It can of course be another problem but I really have no clue...
All help is extremely welcome!

From: "Baird, John" <BAIRD2@WHIO.LINCOLN.AC.NZ>
Organization: Lincoln University
Subject: Bindery Questions
Thats correct.
Thats also correct that trustees are not transferred.
Trustee assignments are not considered bindery information. While they
reference bindery object IDs, the trustee assignments are stored in the
directory entry tables.
As above. For trustee assignments, there are a variety of freeware tools
which allow you to record them in a form which allows easy restoration.
The one I'm most familiar with (as i wrote it <g>) is trstlist in jrb300a.zip
available from the apps directory on netlab2.usu.edu. The following
command would save all trustee assignments as 'grant' commands:
trstlist vol1: /ddft /b /l=vol1.bat
which could be reinstated by executing vol1.bat. There is a problem however,
doing this for SYS: Print servers have trustee assignments to their
subdirs of SYS:SYSTEM, but the GRANT program works only for user and group
objects.
Restore the bindery first. Otherwise you will not be able to restore
rustees,
file ownership and volume quotas.
If you are not 100% confident that your backup will restore correctly,
perform some tests first restoring to a test server.

I would say for a typical six user network, peer to peer networking in
win95 or window for workgroups would be the path of least resistance.
However, an organization using a significant number of resources: servers
and types of servers ie. web servers, file servers, database servers; as
well as types of printers, and other resources may benefit by utilizing
netware 4.11 highly regarded features of network management, security, etc.
The decision is actually based on the work environment.
