understand how close of a contact the intruder has with you.  ie, if they are
trying your wife/dog/kids names, you know they are somone you deal with

common passwords, (Sex, money, god, etc), then you could suspect an out

assistant: The way you're doing it is neither supported by Novell nor by MS. MS supports
all if you fully use MS components (including the, admittedly more limited,
MS IPX/SPX stack); Novell supports the Netware link, not the workgroup mode.
It is far from unthinkable that Novell Client32 damages the workgroup
options, even the tcp/ip ones. Why go this way, instead of the full-MS way?

Programs like Norton Change Disk (NCD), would do the job well. When you run
NCD from a station on the server drive, it will display the complete drive
tree. Goto the tree location to be renamed. Hit F6, type the new name. Bang,
done.

I've heard that RENDIR XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX on 3.x will cause abends but
never tested it...  I've heard that there is a patch for it and I don't
think it works with 4.x
Grinding a server to a halt is easier than crashing one I would have
thought,  if it's running some kind of routing system get it to route
things it's already routed over and over again...  a loop.
What happens when the disk(s) on a server fill up?  Does it crash with
cause it has no room to breath?  Could you just use a util like
FILLER.EXE to create a file full of junk and fill up the disks?  An easy
way round this would be to have places where users can write on a
different partition to where novell does it's "breathing"
However all this said no system is totally secure,  it's just a case of
how close to totally you can get.

user: You are replying to All about "random corrupt EXE files".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello all,
I'm running a Novell 3.12 server that's giving me intermittant unexplainable
problems.  The box itself is a Hewlett Packard Netserver LC 5/133 with
32 meg of ram and 256k cache.
What's happening is at random times many or all of the workstations
cannot load executable files.  For instance, those running networked
installations of Microsoft Office cannot load an application in the suite
without producing a "segment load failure" message, i.e. segment
load failure in winword.exe at xxxx, excel.exe at xxxx, etc. Even
login.exe is effected.  Many times none of the workstations can log
into the server, they either hang on the login command or produce
emm386 errors 12, 1, or 3, or i/o errors.  All of those problems go away
if the server downed and rebooted, or if the executable file, i.e.
login, winword, or whichever is the problem at the time is copied from
another server to the offending one.  For instance when the workstations
are giving error messages or hanging on login, I can copy login.exe from
another server to the one that can't be logged into, and the the problem goes
away.  In the case of Office, I can copy the executable from a workstation
running a local installaion to the server, and then the workstations running
it off the network will be able to load Word, or Excel, or whichever was
giving the segment load failure message.
One side note on the login problem:  any workstation currently connected to
the network is not effected, but if you logout & try to log back in, it will
hang or give the emm386 error.
I am new to networking and have no formal training, am learning as I go here
so please be kind in your responses :).
Can anyone explain what is happening here?  Is it possible I have bad or
incompatible RAM in the server?  I believe it's using Kingston memory which
purportedly causes problems with HP's, anyone else heard this?
Thanks to all in advance.

On the LAN we use Pegasus mail and I have a problem : Pegasus works correctly

and then does not find the IPX protocol : I can't have any userlist, nor send
a message.. I'm asked for a "local name" then for a directory>.
no visible server, no Netware option : it seems rather clear than Pegasus
does not see the IPX protocol when TCP/IP is here !
Any idea ?
