  I already got that.  I encountered two (tcp/ip) bugs in Warpserver
which took hours fiddling because I thought at first that I was doing
something wrong.  I reported the bug to IBM and they told me that
there was a fixpak (10MB) for this.  This fixpak needed another, older
fixpak (also 10MB) and then I began to hunt for every fixpak I could
find.  The DLS fixes where one of them.
  It is nice to find out that something is fixed months before you buy a
product and you still have to go through all of this.
  Really?  A working system is more important for me than speed.  In the
meantime I installed PC DOS 7 and let RAMBOOST figure it out.  That
gave me about 500k free.  Nothing to be very happy but a lot better
than the 430k I had free before.
  NET spawns the modules into memory by itself, so LH NET seems not so
useful to me.
  Peer services is something I need for management.  I need to access
the client disks to copy or modify files, one connection, only now and
then, nothing else.  Peer services seems the only way to do this.  But
I have some questions about peer, see another message.

assistant: As may be clear from other messages, I am testing a setup with
Warpserver.  In this setup is also a OS/2 V4 workstation which will be
used to manage the network, and an IBM PC330 with DOS/Win31.
  The server is not that difficult, but the client (DLS) raises many
questions.
  - What is the purpose of the local logon?  I can understand a logon
to the server, or to the domain.  But local to the client??  I put
this off in LAN.INI but it still keeps me thinking.
  - The DLS client has peer active.  Now I want to use its C:  disk
from an OS/2 client.  Where does the DLS peer get the user info from
to check the permissions for the resources?  Do I have to logon to the
DLS client as in Lantastic, if yes, how?  Could someone explain how to
use the C:  disk from a DLS peer?
Thanks!

assistant: Here another DLS question:
  After installing DLS on DOS/Win there appears a Connections item in
the Disks menu from fileman with which a user can browse the server.
Our users get a fixed set of disks on the server and I would like to
have this "explore the server" option disabled, or better, removed.
With Lantastic you can do this by removing a DLL reference in an ini
file, I found no trick with DLS.
  Anyone who knows the trick?

Actually before I found Vmodem I had an alternative telnetd available that

telnet accounts. I had batch files for each of them and if they left the
telnet session shut down for safety purposes. I also had the BBS running in
local mode for the user BBS. It worked OK enough, though occasionally someone
with real access would trigger a text mode app that used a non-standard file
handle for IO and they would be locked out. Editors were the biggest culprits
so we installed elvis for one of the users so he could edit and maintain text
config files for the BBS remotely. Elvis being a port from Unix worked
flawlessly through a telnet session ;)

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Dirk,
Replying to a message of Dirk Stuijfzand to All:
Since DLS is capable of being a peer server, it has to be able to have its
own user names and passwords in order to give access controls to any
resources it shares as a peer server.  The default local administration logon
id is USER and the password is PASSWORD.
The permissions are obtained from the user accounts list for the local peer
services setup.  Set LSLOGON to OFF (or use /verification:local when running
NET LOGON).  Type NET HELP LOGON to see all the parameters.  Also look at NET
HELP ACCESS and NET HELP ACCOUNTS and NET HELP USERS to get info on the NET
ACCESS, NET ACCOUNTS, and NET USERS commands.  Type NET HELP to get all the
various commands.  I am doing this from memory so I could be wrong on some of
these (mixing them up with the equivalent OS/2 peer client commands),
however, I think there is also a NET HELP SHARE (and NET SHARE).

Write your reply.

assistant: Local logon keeps the system from trying to do a domain logon.  With
an all peer network such as Warp 4 with some DOS stations there is no
domain controller so the local logon saves a lot of time and surpresses
some useless messages.  All this does is to verify the access
(user/password) from the local user list instead of asking a domain
controller to do it.

The only reason I could find is for administering the dls machine. Commands
like
net user (to create accounts)
net access (to change rights)
are only accessible if you are logged on to the dls machine.
You have to create an account on the dls machine with the same name as the
account on the client trying to connect to the dls, just as you need to
create an account on the 'real' server.
If the passwords on the server and the dls are identical,
net use l:  \\dls\resource
should be sufficient.
I ran into a  lot of problems when trying to limit resources on a dls machine
to certain users. The reason for this is that dls has some undocumented
limits in the total number of records it can keep in its database.
Because my setup doesn't really require security, I granted all users admin
privilige, and removed the entire resources database.
If you do it this way, c$, d$, and whatever drives are on your system, are
directly usable from remote machines if the right user accounts are created
e.g.:
net user henk /priv:admin /add
I couldn't find the default c$ etc. documented in the dls manual, but since
it works on warp server, I thought I'd try it on dls as well.
Hope this helps.

Warpserver.  As soon as you cd to the first subdir on a mounted dir,
there is no way back to the root.  Even when you only do a "dir f:\wp"
f:\wp will become the current dir and there is no way back to f:\.  I
bought a single user upgrade Lantastic 7 for testing (Unlimited lic is
cheap and you get dos, win31, win95 clients, modemsharing, tcp/ip,
