Have you got a sufficent number for the "Files=" entry in config.sys ?
Latest service packs require a larger number for this. (I use 100)

----------
Clib*.nlm live in c:\nwserver. They aren't in sys:system with
NW 6. Thus we suspect your server was one upgraded from NW 5.1 and
loose ends persist. If so there may be a bit of file comparing and
cleanup required.

Yes, we checked this. The duplex in our site was half duplex. In the new
site it was full and we changed the servers to match that. Now that
we've moved them back we changed it to half duplex again.

Hmm... I used to have these specified in the autoexec.ncf. However,
years ago I switched to useing INetCFG and they seem to have disapeared.
Also, I can't find any place to enter them. Is there a method of
manipulating a file to allow the option to be pressent in INetCFG
(kinda like you can alter card drivers by editing the LDI file).

Yes, we thought about this one. It had the look of someone walking on
our address. However, now that the machines are back in our department
and all is back to the way it was we're sure that these adresses are
are unique.

In INETCFG select Protocols, TCP/IP, LAN Static Routing. There you can
set up routes to hosts, networks and the default route. The default
route is to all intents and purposes the gateway.
The gateway as per the autoexec.ncf method says if I don't know about
the destination, send it to... and that's exactly what the default
route does.

Subject: Re: NT Domains are there but aren't...
You mentioned ZenWorks. Are you using Dynamic Local User? If yes, that
could be your problem. ZenWorks' DLU directly conflicts with NT Domain
access. See the following TIDs for more info:
http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10060858.htm
http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10071725.htm
http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10017584.htm
...plus many others. Search the Knowledgebase for "DLU and domain" for
more info.
In a nutshell, DLU is an authentication mechanism intended for use in a
domain-less environment. When domains are present, you should disable
DLU and let the domain do the authentication instead. If you have both
domains AND DLU, users will be able to browse domain controllers but not
member servers. The TIDs all say that if domains are present, you
should disable DLU. What irritates me is the assumption that domains
are an "all-or-nothing" approach. In our organization, the vast
majority of users don't even touch a domain. We need both domains AND
DLU.
That said, here are some workarounds:
1) Use a separate policy to disable DLU for select users. Of course
this locks those users down to workstations that are domain-enabled.
2) Disable DLU on the client. According to online documentation, the
4.83 SP1 client has an option to disable DLU from the client side.
Where this feature is hidden though, I have no idea. I also don't know
if this resolves the DLU <-> Domain conflict.
3) Make all NT servers domain controllers. One of the TIDs mentioned
that DLU users would be able to browse domain controllers but not member
servers. That led us to ask "what if we do away with member servers?"
We did some experimenting and found this to be a good working solution.
There may be some drawbacks to this approach, but we haven't encountered
any.
Hope this helps...

Windows2000 with 4.83 SP1, MS Client active and the workstation is a
member of the local domain NORTH. We access NT4-based apps in the SASI

Browsing My Network Places sometimes displays only the NORTH domain;

A ZEN app object that points to the NT-based app will sometimes work or
will fail with "access denied." However, on the failure, "sometimes" you

\\sasi332\ (the domain server on which the NT app resides) will open the
sasi332 desktop and you can then browse by opening the folders.
Eventually, you can launch the app.
The problem is the inconsistency - the district support folks are
talking about some sort of conflict with Windows95 desktops (we still
have a few) and/or IP protocal preferences on the desktop or ???
Does this make sense to anyone because it doesn't to me.

Subject: Migration Wizard trustee rights restore abends
We're in the middle of migrating a Netware 6 sp1 server to new hardware,
same NW6 SP1, etc. Did an across the wire migration with the wizard and
it went reasonably well until the last phase. It looks like the schema
and volume objects are ok and work normally but the trustee rights
restoration cannot complete on one of the 4 volumes without abending the
server. 3 of the 4 volumes seem to have gone ok but the 4th one is a
user volume with about 3000 user folders on it. I've restarted the
restoration of trustee rights to that volume several times but the
server abends with:
Server TUCKER halted Monday, August 19, 2002 8:09:07 am
Abend 2 on P00: Server-5.60b-4348: Kernel detected an attempted context
switch when it was not allowed.
This is a single processor server but has dual capabilities (Compaq
DL380) and support had been loaded for that but has been removed.
The migration wizard error log shows nothing other than there was an
error caused by a Netware API losing connection - because the server has
abended at that point - nearly immediately in the process.
Anyone run into these types of problems or have ideas? I've run
dsrepair full and also volume and trustee checks which show normal and
eDir seems to be all running fine in the tree.
I can supply full abend log. Looking for directions at this point. ;-)

Again, I think the problem is too muddled to point fingers anywhere.
Please try some decisive experiments. And check that Windows has the IPP
software from NW 6 and that one can print normal documents through that
particular pathway. Acrobat is an especially awkward program, so try
printing to a file first, just to see what happens.

Subject: my experiences :)
Hi!
I recently posted to this list and asked for possibilities to let
netware 4.11 SFT III automatically reboot at 3 o'clock in the night,
and how to make it start without entering "activate server".
shutting down is now done with cron. (down,remove dos,exit) thanks to
whoever posted me the answer on this list!
booting works without "activate server", because i managed to remove
SFT III. i read in a TID about the issue. again thanks to whoever
posted me that idea on this list!
backing up the server works very great now. every midnight it shuts
down, boots from network, does a bit by bit harddisk image backup and
restarts netware.
but there ist a problem with the license now. there was the SFT III
license installed and i am running without SFT III now. the server now
still has the 50 connection limit, but it has serial number
00000001. and the "VERSION" command shows no installed licenses. our
KHK server process (KHKSRV4A.NLM, KHK Classic Line 97) denies work,
due to invalid PIN. the PIN only works with the correct serial
number. we have a PIN for our SFT III license disc and a PIN for our
normal license (no SFT III). but the problem is the server now has
serial number 00000001 for which we have no PIN.
so i loaded INSTALL.NLM and tried to install the normal non-SFT III
license disc. it said there already was another license installed. i
tried the SFT III license disc, and it just popped away the window,
without showing some useful message. then i removed the license which
downgraded the server to a 2 connection license. instantly the people
came to me and wanted to kill me, because all of them have been
knocked out the server! so i tried to install any license, but the
INSTALL.NLM told me it cannot install the license due to a "Server
Connection Error". Rebooting the server didn't help. Lucky me i had
the backups of midnight before and rebuilt another server which is
working now. the rest of the day was wasted for manually taking back
the work that was done today.
OK. tomorrow i'll do a fresh installation of Netware 4.11 without SFT
III. then i'll copy the files and manually adjust the trustees :-((
I'll install the license disc and return KHK to work. if KHK won't
work I'll start to get real angry against all that proprietary
software which you cannot debug, cannot read the source and cannot fix
the damn problems!!

Subject: FTP NWFTPD v5.02r passive connections
I'm running NW5.1 server SP4, eDir 8527c running FTP v5.02r services. After
migrating over from the old NW5.0 unix based ftp service, On my new FTP
server, I have one client out of 40+ clients that is receiving "timeout,
unable to connect successfully ", and "server closed connection"
1. They have mentioned that it seems that maybe my FTP server's service is
attempting a Reverse DNS lookup or attempting to PING the IP of the client.
Therefore getting the timeout of server closed connection.
2. One of the Client's employees at his home computer was able to connect
and down load files. He then implemented a high security level on his home
firewall and thus got the same problem.
3. I Have another server in our Superior, Wi. running the same NWFTPD
version, (on a NCS( novell cluster services) 1.01) Both FIREWALLS exactly
the same setup.
Crazy thing is it works there, but not here.
The only thing I could see was the NAT Implicit Filtering was enabled on the
server in Superior, so I will enable it here to check it out.
In the NW5.1 Documentation, in the FTP service, it mentions setting the
Passive mode data transfer and also allowing for configuring a range of
passive data ports when the client is behind a firewall.
The TWO settings are:
Parameter Setting
1. PASSIVE_PORT_MIN 1
2. PASSIVE_PORT_MAX 65534
Anyone deal with this before?

Never use port numbers below 1023 for by guess and by golly work.
Those are allocated for systems daemons, well known ports.
There are a couple of Italian ISPs whose broken ftp clients keep
asking for connections to their port 0, and my ftp server says rejected.
To see what happens, it is best to observe the wire of the client
and perhaps the server. There are plenty of free packet snoop programs,
such as ethereal (www.ethereal.org) as one example.

Subject: Re: FTP NWFTPD v5.02r passive connections
I did. In our case, the problem was our Checkpoint Firewall-1. The
firewall has some sort of feature that checks for carriage returns and
line feeds during FTP. I disabled checking and now FTP works through
the firewall using passive FTP.
From my experience, the Novell FTP server is capable of both passive
and active FTP automatically. For passive mode FTP, it allows you to
define the ports the server tells the client to use. I would recommend
a narrow range above 1023. I think I set ours up to use 34000-34100.
From the same subnet as our FTP server, I can do both active and
passive FTP. Across the firewall, I can only do passive.
On clustering servers, I think the terms passive and active are used as
well, but in that case that's specifically for clustering features, not
FTP methods.

Subject: Novastor Backup Software
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
Is anyone using the Novastor (Novanet) backup software? I am looking for a solution \
that is cross-platform compatible and will allow backup to a tape or NAS. This seems \
to be a viable option.

Please send problem reports direct to me.
As attributes from a template are by default set after the attributes
in the "Fields" list, I suspect that the template has a "Login
Disabled" attribute set to "N".
