Hi there, we've got the following problem, while Windows-Clients works with samba and a DOS-Client connects over Mars_NWE to the same Linux-Server: When the DOS-Client opens a file on the linux-server and the WinClient opens the same file, and when both clients want to write the same file, the windows-client gets an error and crashes. We tried it only with the windows-clients and there is no problem, writing the...

...source code, expecially since the company that developed the database engine is long gone. We need access to the old data for reference and although I am going to attempt to extract it all and do some PHP stuff with it, a Google search turns up two netware emulation packages for Linux - lwared and mars_nwe - so my question is this: has anyone around these here parts used any or both of these apps with CentOS 3 or 4 and if so can I have any useful insight? I suppose the ultimate test would be to try them both but a head start would be aprpeciated. Thanks as ever, Nigel Kendrick

...as well as the Everex StepDP/Pro dual PPro MB; same result, large (more than 1 MB) file copies usually crash with only a message about oplock errors in the logfile. Running a single CPU kernel works fine (pre2 seems much faster, but I haven't done any testing). 2.0.5a does the same. NFS and mars_nwe with the same hardware and SMP kernel work fine, even with very large files (GB) and high throughput (3MB/sec sustained). There are no hardware errors reported at any time; memory passes AMIDiag's pattern testing without a peep. The SM used completely different hardware and a fresh installat...

I would like to add my case for a wish of IPX support in Samba: We use a number of CNC tool machines whose host is pure DOS based. Don't be surprised that DOS is stilll running somewhere. It is fairly OK when we get to the field of HW and real-time control, unlike Windows and the like... These hosts use IPX to access LAN shares. IPX is here preferable to TCP/IP because of its lower memory

Hi We are using a Debian 1.3.1 server (two Ethernet-Cards) with 18 Clients. The Clients remote-boot from the server using mars_nwe(Novell-Server emulation). Under Windows (WfW 3.11) the Clients user the Microsoft 32-bit Tcp-Stack to access the samba-server( 1.9.18p7). The problem is that the clients can't see the samba-server in their browse-lists, nor can they access the server with net use... \\h931srv\... - altough the...

FWIW, i had the same problem (obtaining a byte-range lock with an offset of 0xeffffff0..0xefffffff) quite some time ago causing dBase IV on DOS machines with VLM clients to a mars_nwe server to fail to synchronize. The solution was probably the same as here, to fold this range into 0x7ffffffx. -- Morio Taneda admin,sociology,humanities,karlsruhe university,germany

...ning part. Throughput using an NT4 SP6 P6/200 client connected at 100Mbits full duplex to a P5/90 FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE server also connected at 100Mbits full duplex, network all switch, was about 400K/sec with 4K blocks and 900K/sec with 64K blocks using TESTNET 2.24 (old NetWare server benchmark). mars_nwe v.0.99 pl17 clocks at the same speed with 4k blocks but does not speed up with 64K blocks. (The server uses old 5 1/4" fast narrow diff SCSI drives which benchmark in the 3-4MB/sec range using bonnie). I'm going to try it vith 3.3-RELEASE SMP. -----------Modified patch-ba---------------...

..._LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=262144 SO_RCVBUF=262144 which is due to Martin Welk. Currently large files (1GB or greater)are transferring at up to 2.7MB/sec; very small files, as expected, go much slower. This is about the same as NFS served from the same system, and almost 3 times faster than MARS_NWE. The system is configured as a domain member, and authentication using encrypted passwords works fine. Hardware is dual PPro/200, Everex/FCT PO-6200 MB, 128MB, 4 Seagate ST410800WD drives running off a Symbios controller, Intel Pro100B, 3Com 3000 8-port 100Mbit switch running at full duplex. Th...

Hi folks, I've ran many circles about this topic, read tons of documents. But have not found a working solution. Here is the scenario: There is a network contains around 350+ nodes, mixed Win98 and Win2k. There are four mars_nwe servers they use. We'd like to migrate that 4 servers into an AFS cell and offer it thru Samba which should be acting as a PDC. So far it seems not too difficult. The questions are the following: 1. How can I get samba to authenticate thru AFS 2. Which method should I use (--with-afs or...

...ient is pretty big. I hate to show you another network system, but using freeDOS for the client OS, and using an odi base client network, I have found a little easier on the memory needs ... You should then be able to use Novel's client software and mars-nwe ( http://www.compu-art.de/download/mars_nwe.html )for the Linux server, which should give you file and print server. Not a perfect solution, but very nice for old and small systems which still need networking. Mailed Lee

I am looking for experience with migrating from Novell to Linux.I have Novell 4.2 - file and print server. I am looking for tools to migrate Novell users (and if possible printers) to Samba. Thanks and regards Max . 972-3-9188325

Hi, I've successfully got DOS booting over PXE with Memdisk, but as RAM is severely limited in the PCs I'm using (only 32-64MB) I can't load a huge Memdisk image to run large DOS programs, Windows, etc. Are there any programs out there like Memdisk, but instead of storing the disk in RAM they read it over the network? (A "netdisk" program.) This would be a really useful

Is there a way to prevent other users from being able to map a drive from windoww95/NT to anyother user directory on the system. For example I can map to anyone's account on the system and have read only access, is there a way to stop this in either the global or share level? Thanks
