What I would like to do though is delete the crap after he leaves and setup the machine with OS/2 again. I presently have the SOHO of Injoy vr. 2.2 and would appreciate any suggestions.

This error means "More data is available than can be returned." This is technically correct but does not readily identify what is wrong.

Is this really the exact same problem reported as reported in IC15963 ?. If it was then IP08412 would have fixed it. Since it didn't then I would suggest that this is not the same problem as in the apar. Nobody has called in to IBM and mentioned they've noticed this fix is missing from the fixpak, nor that it does not work so I think you're just dead wrong about IBM's goof, you are seeing a different problem. >According to my research, the problem was reported in APAR IC15963 (see >body/44338.shtml> on 06/06/1997.

Err, no, I don't think so. The reason it doesn't work is probably because the problem seen is not the error described by that apar. It has worked for other people so it will work for everyone with that particular code defect. Applying IP08401 first would make no difference at all. If what you were saying is true then once {R} or anyone else went to IP08412 then the problem would return. Has it ... nope, and it hasn't happened to anyone else in the world either according to IBM's databases. >However, following the "Locate Fixpack" link tells us that >there is NO fixpack for the APAR!! (I'm guessing here, but might the >fixpack in which it /was/ addressed withdrawn, and hence removed from >the database?) Not quite, this looks like a simple ommision from the source data from which the fixpak database is built for that one fix, the details of which fixpak includes the fix is missing so it's nothing more sinister than that in reality. This is about the only thing you can thow at IBM as a criticism from this posting, and it's a rather minor one at that. >It looks to me that IBM have right royally fucked up on this issue: is there anyone out there with the ear of PSP (e.g. someone with a maintenance contract) who can "persuade" then to rerelease the IP series of fixpacks with ALL the APARs fixed in a cumulative fashion, as with other products? Why .. they are cummulative, nothing is wrong as far as I can see. Also, if you suspect a defect in IBM code then read the support statement that comes in the box with the product and it will tell you how you can report a suspected defect to IBM without having a maintenance contract. >I'd like to see this done and released before we all have to start >PAYING for fixpacks from 01/01/2000 --- in case you didn't spot this in >the Software Alert newsletter, fixes will only come to those who have a >Software Choices subscription after that date.

This is another highly undesirable side effect of IBM neglecting to provide even a full service refresh of the OS/2 client: it can be darned difficult to install it over a well-maintained Warp 3 system as it regresses a lot of it. I've seen someone say that Indelible Blue has a thing called Warp-up which may overcome this problem.

Everything is OK so far, except every time I shutdown, I loose the shares on the OS/2 machine, so I cannot see files on the OS/2 machine from the Win98 machine. Every time I start up the OS/2 machine, I have to go into the "permissions" tab of "Shared Resources and Network Connections" and re-establish the shares. I suspect this is a result of using HPFS386, but I'm not sure. I also suspect there is a command line I can use to accomplish this task, but I have not been able to find it.

You can use sendmail to send E-Mail to local LAN machines by setting up the various machines host names in the \MPTN\ETC\HOSTS file. This will allow sendmail to resolve the host IP addresses and forward E-mail to the machines. Each machine needs to have sendmail running as a demon ( the -bd switch) so it can send/receive E-Mail files. You need a local mail agent that is able to drop (write) the file into a local directory. AFAIK the MR/2 ICE E-Mail client used to have one called MR2ILDA.EXE included with the client. There was also a MR2ILDA.DOC file that explained how to set up the sendmail.cf file to use this local mail agent. The documentation on OS/2 sendmail is fairly sparse but it is basically a port of the standard sendmail code. The SENDMAIL.CF file is used to control the processing done by the sendmail server. (this is sendmail started with a -bd switch set). I once found the sendmail man pages somewhere on the web (I think it was from one of the UC web sites) but I cannot remember where it was. The IBM redbooks site has a manual for the os/390 TCP/IP implementation that includes a section on confiuring sendmail. http://www.redbooks.ibm.com do a search for "sendmail" and it will find the book. They have a PDF file you can read on-line and it has a section on configuring the sendmail.cf file. Lorne Sunley --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: MBnet Networking Inc.

I think you've hit the problem. Thanks very much!! I looked in www.warpupdates.de/english/warpupdates.html and found that 8412 is the latest.... and 8196 is the only one prior. I haven't done an update on Peer-to-peer per se, but I have TCP/IP 4.1 (updated to UN1001) and MPTN at W8620. Syslevel says Peer is at 8400. I would guess 8400 has the same problems as 8412, but I'm not sure.....do you know? So what would you suggest? Should I install the downlevel 8196 Peer version? Or is there a command line which I could put in my Net Start-up batch file to accomplish the share? Again, thanks very much for your help.

I am not real familiar with the server but with the workstation, I think, you have to log on to the local machine to enable file and print sharing.

I have tried hpfs386 on a warp 4 client as well and it usually works ok for 3-4 months and eventually trashes the whole install. Did this on 3 different boxes and in every case had to reinstall from scratch.

The rules to make such installs bullet proof are simple and worked for me for many years: 1. Partition should be formatted with so called "long" format: format x: /FS:HPFS /L 2. Never. No. *NEVER* fill out partition for more than 90% of capacity. By the way: the same rules are applicable for ordinary HPFS partitions if you don't want to see your files removed by CHKDSK. Just an example: three years ago I have installed Warp 4.0 and HPFS386 on my home PC (still used every day by my daughter and my mother). I can't say that power is very reliable in my home and there is no UPS. I have not lost even one byte of the information on that PC.

J.A. Gow (thanks for the help) suggested that MPTS has an installation/configuration bug in that it incorrectly updates \IBMLAN\IBMLAN.INI. He suggested that I look for, and correct if necessary, lines beginning with "net1=NETBEUI$", "net2=TCPBEUI$", "wrknets", and "srvnets". On my system, I have only TCPBEUI, no NETBEUI. Our local powers that be don't want people using NETBEUI because it creates too much network traffic. So I only had a line beginning with "net1=TCPBEUI$", and the wrknets and srvnets lines were both set to NET1. It all appeared to be correct. However, I still got the hard traps. Just to make sure that the problem was that I had only TCPBEUI and not also NETBEUI, I also reconfigured my system to use both. I ran PEERINST.EXE so that it would do its reconfiguration and again checked the IBMLAN.INI file to make sure those few lines were correct. All appeared to be in order. The hard traps continued. The TCP/IP services work fine. I only get the hard traps when log as a peer.

It is also very fast and convenient to use the container classes (tables, arrays, queues &c) to organize the files you need to transmit. It is easier to use the REXX ftp API if you do not need all the socket capabilities. From the online documentation: The REXX FTP API package is contained in the file rxftp.dll. This dynamic link library (DLL) must be placed in a directory listed in your LIBPATH statement in your CONFIG.SYS file. To use the functions in the REXX FTP API package, execute this REXX code: rc = RxFuncAdd("FtpLoadFuncs","rxFtp","FtpLoadFuncs") rc = FtpLoadFuncs() To unload the DLL, you should first call the FtpDropFuncs() function, then exit all CMD.EXE shells. After exiting all the command shells, the DLL will be dropped by OS/2 and can be deleted or replaced. > > >What kind of scheduling mechanism does OS/2 (Warp 4) have? > > It doesn't, but there is a choice of Cron-like utilties on Hobbes which will > do the job. > It certainly does! I have used the scheduler in the bonus pack for years with no problems. It will allow a wide range of different scheduling options (like every n days, third wednesday in every month, or whatever). It is also possible to do the scheduling in REXX if it is fairly straightforward. Your batch control program can be started from the startup folder, and stay in the background like any other daemon. /* REXX timing loop for daily task */ iScheduled = TIME('S', '22:14:00') /* Convert scheduled time 22:14 to seconds after midnight */ do forever iNow = TIME('s') /* Seconds since midnight */ iWait = iScheduled - iNow if iWait < 0 then iWait = iWait + TIME('S', '23:59:59') /* Not until tomorrow */ SAY 'Wait' iWait 'seconds, until' TIME('N', iScheduled, 'S') CALL SysSleep iWait 'START /B myjob.cmd' end --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: Norbionics (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: as@sci.fi 12-Oct-99 17:13:25 To: All 12-Oct-99 16:57:25 Subj: Re: PPP secrets..

I suspect that nearly all of them support restart. Basically, everyone except Microsoft is using the 1985 version of the ftp standard. Microsoft, for reasons best known to itself, uses the 1972 version. The OS/2 server that I prefer is my own: FtpServer, available via the web address in my signature. Of course, that's a biased recommendation. If you want alternatives, look at either Hethmon ftpd or Penguin ftpd, both available on Hobbes.

From the Jstreet mailer Address Book help file: *****************start quoted text********************** For example, to import an address book file (only the individual entries, not the groups) from the Post Road Mailer, use the latter program's ADR2ASC.CMD to export the entries to an *.ASC file, and that's the file you will import into the J Street Mailer. Use an editor which does not convert tab characters to spaces, such as OS/2's E.EXE, to remove the first four lines of the file (the title lines and the blank line). Then, here in the Import a delimited file dialog, assign the fields in this order: Last Name, First Name, Organization, Email Address, Nickname; then select Do not use for the next eight fields since each J Street Mailer address book entry can have only one email address and only one nickname; then Telephone Number, Do not use again since there can only be one telephone number, and then Fax Number, and Notes. Or, if your address book entries contain a lot of second telephone numbers and few fax numbers, you might want to select Telephone Number, Fax Number, Do not use, and Notes instead, and then remember that your address book entries contain two phone numbers rather than a phone number and a fax number as the field labels will specify. *******************end quoted text****************** I think from the above description you should be able to work something out.

Also, when you said to never fill out more than 90% of a partition's capacity, did you mean; never allow a HPFS386 partition to reach +90% of that particular partition's capacity -or- never create a HPFS386 partition that is +90% of a HDD's capacity ??

Actually, the TCP/IP configuration utility no longer asked me for an ID / password after I added SET LANTCP=EN_US (a tip I found in older posts). Now what I get when I start tcpcfg2.cmd is the following: FATAL error message: Can not start the local TCP/IP configuration notebook at this time because the remote TCP/IP configuration server is running and has files locked. Stop the remote TCP/IP configuration server to run the local configuration notebook.

We've run about 30 listserv lists on our system as well as personal mailboxes for the last 15 years and its not a good idea for us to return mail that naive users have addressed to major-domo, majordomo, listproc, listserv, listserve, listserver, comserve, comserv, comsve, etc. etc. You can set up aliases for these variations but you won't know what new twists your overactive SMTPD has rejected. INETMAIL unlimited user edition has author support and the capability to turn off verification that mail is to a "known user". Unfortunately INETMAIL unlimited is pretty expensive, especially is you really just want it to be a non-relay-accepting SMTPD replacement. --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: Monmouth Internet (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: gbierman@fnmail.com 14-Oct-99 11:52:20 To: All 14-Oct-99 16:31:18 Subj: Re: sendmail 8.9.1 & Aurora From: Grant Bierman In <7u4kjk$krq$1@news.monmouth.com>, on 10/14/99 at 01:08 PM, Tim Stephen@CIOS.ORG (Tim Stephen) said: >Weasel looks okay but (1) is there support from the author? and (2) it >seems to require that all incoming mail be sorted into a predetermined >list of known user's mailboxes.

I mean 90% of particular partition capacity. File system driver does not know anything about full size of HDD. Even more: in case of WSEB and LVM you can create HPFS volume greater than size of particular HDD. As far as I know, HPFS drivers (ordinary HPFS.IFS too) has somewhat different algorithms for nearly full partitions and partitions with some free space. All known sources of information (in particular HPFS description from MS) says that treshold is set at 10% of free space of partition. My experience agrees with this information. > My concern is that the "problem" will occur once Peer-2-Peer > has been installed along with HPFS386. There are some inconveniences but there are definitely no problems with reliability.

This is exactly our situation. With Sendmail as the SMTP receiving agent, all our incoming mail is directed to C:\tcpip\etc\mail and our own smart filter detects the new mail and figures out what to do with it. We support a large academic community with a big range of services and just need a reliable SMTPD that is relay-proof. No other functionality is required for us because its all implemented in other software we evolved and need to continue to use. I'd rather have the unknown user items to look at (in case there's some obvious little address problem that I can sort out manually) than to reject out of hand. Many thanks.

From: klcroxen@fas.harvard.edu (Kevin Croxen) Do you have a copy of Connect around? If so, providing you have fixpacked 2.1 *all the way up to the final fp108*, then 2.1 will install and run *all* the networking components included with Warp Connect. I keep just such a patched-up 2.1+Connect system around for occasional amusement, so I know it works. Heck, even Connect's version of Webex runs, though on fp108 the Win3.1 version of Netscape Communicator 4.08 is a better choice. Use prodinst.cmd on the Connect CD to install tcpip/mpts directly on 2.1, or, if you haven't gotten around to hacking 2.1 so it runs ATAPI CD-ROM drives yet, then on some other Warp machine prodinst will extract the tcpip/mpts products to diskette, and they may be installed on 2.1 in that fashion. Note that the 2.1 fixpacks are not completely cumulative, and the massive xr6200a fixpack must be applied first, followed by the very small xr_b098 and xr_b108 issues.

IIRC, 8610 still uses MPTS to do the install while 8620 uses CSF. -- sma at rtd dot com Remove ".spam-not" for email --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: Sohnen-Moe Associates, Inc (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: alex@eddie.cis.uoguelph.ca 15-Oct-99 16:29:09 To: All 15-Oct-99 21:58:14 Subj: Re: WR08610 & WR08620 From: alex@eddie.cis.uoguelph.ca (Alex Taylor) On Fri, 15 Oct 1999 12:08:04 GMT, Gilbert Saint-flour wrote: > Hello: > > I'd like to apply these MPTS fixes to the 4.1 stack; is there a way to > apply them that doesn't require diskettes? You can use the DSKXTRCT program (do a search on Hobbes) to extract the disk-images to directories on the hard drive. (You can overwrite the file "CSF_DISK" during extraction, BTW.) For WR08610, you then just have to run the setup program as instructed in the readme. WR08620 is a bit trickier, you need the CSF tool to apply it. Unzip the CS_141 package wherever, then - assuming you have the XR08620 files in C:\WR_8620, say something like: FSERVICE /R:RESPONSE.WP4 /S:C:\WR_8610 You might need to use a different response file, though - I've never done this with 8620, specifically. If you're not comfortable using FSERVICE, it might be simpler just to do WR08620 off floppies - it's only 4 disks. (That's what I did.) -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Alex Taylor BA - CIS - University of Guelph alex@eddie.cis.uoguelph.ca http://eddie.cis.uoguelph.ca/~alex ----------------------------------------------------------------- --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: @Home Network Canada (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: kris@dgraph.com 15-Oct-99 13:48:05 To: All 15-Oct-99 21:58:14 Subj: Re: How to monitor Bytes Sent/Received From: Kris Kadela Tim Stephen wrote: > > An ISP we're considering using imposes a 12 GIG/month limit on total > traffic on one's link, excess to cost addition per month over the base > rate. > > I can see two ways of calculating link traffic on OS/2.
