Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Ahmad,
    Excellent!
 Dedicated mode would be an ideal candidate for a 2-user server, y/n?
If so this would be an extremely powerful way to build an immense
capacity CD-Server.  My calculations say 168 CDs using 24x7CD-Changers
allowing two drive letters for boot. The limit of DOS is the problem
for if one uses 4 x 2742AT hosts;  the physical limit is 56 changers
for a gross of 392 CDs!  I am assuming it is no problem adapting
channel B of each adapter to the typically external CD-Changers. For
me it is no problem as I run 50 pin ribbon to a DB50 module.
    File server and Print Server are one and the same now. I'm
thinking of dropping a 386-33, 8MB, 200 IDE onto the wire as server
#2.  I hope to use the same 2-user CD on GC2, as used on the existing
GC1 server, that was provided with my course materials.
 There are MANY issues of learning Netware 4.x +  which really cry out
for two or more servers.  Certainly one cannot experience the
complexity of NDS on only one server.
 Doing this will give me a chance to experiment with upping and downing
a Test / CD-ROM server.  My books say a test server will not affect the
Net if no replica is placed on it. I reckon it would have to be configured
as a secondary time server too.
 Fun?  WOW!
All the best

Write your reply.

assistant: Hacker alert: This month's 2600, the hacker magazine discusses hacking the
3.1x rconsole as follows: use lan packet capture to get the encrypted
rconsole password; decript using software; try the rconsole password to
see if it is the supervisor password; if not load your bandit nlm
to cause trouble.  They also discuss shutting down the conlog to cover
the tracks..
This suggests two protection methods: 1) don't use the same password for
your supervisor password; 2) don't allow nlm's to be loaded from anywhere
but sys:system.  I hope this will remind us to keep our eyes open. Thanks!

Subject: Startup under Win95
Organization: Cubic Circle
Hi,
I want to connect my computers which run win95, to my novell 3.12
network. Using Win95 to connect works, but I'm not pleased with the
login-procedure.
Someone told me he made a login in the autoexec even before Win95 was
started. Now I wonder what is the best way ? And if login has to be in
the autoexec, will the same STARTNET.BAT be used ?
How to change the login after Win95 starts ? I have the feeling that
connecting after win95, has some security holes in it...

docs for netware 3.12a and 4.1x along with the Dynatext application, the
other roms are also very useful as all the needed installation software
is there along with drivers, as long as you do not have the License disk

Dieter,
If it can use a script file you could write a small program in basic that
waits for a time specified, call it from a .BAT file that runs Arcsolo after
it..
A better option would be get s-ware that run on the server & move the tape
drive to the server..  NovaNet (from NovaStore) works fine for me..  I use to
do 1:00 AM backups no prob..  It also was able to backup work stations from
the server, so it saved buying several tape drives..  :}
