-- INTRODUCTION --
This ADVANCED USERLIST allows a supervisor or authorized user to
get various information about any user currently logged in to a
Netware network. The user list program supplied with Netware
indicates the users logged in, but not much other useful
information. This program shows much the same information, but
includes many other features.
The program is most useful for people at a help desk or others
that need to do problem determination. This person may have to
do a standard user list, send a message, look up specific
information for a user or group, check user and system login
scripts, check file and directory privileges, and other tasks.
This may require running several utility programs supplied with
Netware. This program combines many of the needed features
into one utility.
A summary of these features are:
1. Sort the user list by node address, user id (login name),
full name, connection id or login date and time.
2. Send a message to a user.
3. Look at a users login script.
4. Look at the system login script.
5. Look at a users security equivalences.
6. Look at the groups a user belongs to.
7. Look at a users trustee assignments. This will show
the users specific file and directory assignments as
well as those for the groups the user belongs to.
8. Refresh the user list without re-running the program.
9. Pick a file server to view, from those you are currently
logged into.
10. View print job configurations.
11. Automatically refresh the user list.
12. View miscellaneous user information.
13. Recognize Netware security to provide bindery and other
user information to authorized users only. Non-authorized
users will get error messages indicating the lack of
security.
14. Attach and detach from all available file servers
found on the internetwork.
Both DOS and WINDOWS versions of the program are included. Both
supply the same information and features with the only difference
being the user interface.

-- INSTALLATION --
-- DOS Version --
Copy ULIST.EXE into some directory that is located in your PATH
statement. If you put the file into its own directory, make
sure you add that directory to your PATH statement in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file or map a search drive to that directory in the
system or user login script.
ULIST.SIG must also be copied to the same directory as ULIST.EXE.
ULIST.EXE looks for this file in the same directory where
ULIST.EXE was loaded from.
-- WINDOWS Version --
Copy WULIST.EXE into any directory you wish. Start WINDOWS and
click once inside the group you want ADVANCED USERLIST put into.
Select FILE, NEW, and then PROGRAM ITEM from the program manager
menu. Set 'Description:' to Advanced Userlist. Set 'Command
Line:' to the drive and directory where WULIST.EXE was copied to
followed by WULIST.EXE such as C:\UTIL\WULIST.EXE.
ULIST.SIG and NWCALLS.DLL must also be copied to the same
directory as WULIST.EXE. WULIST.EXE looks for these files in the
same directory where WULIST.EXE was loaded from.
PAGE 3
-- RUNNING THE DOS VERSION --
Type ULIST at the command prompt to start the program. The default
file server is located and the current users logged in are
found, a screen is displayed showing the users node address, user
id (login name), users full name, connection Id and the date and
time the user logged in. You can use the page up/down, home/end
and cursor up/down keys to move the selection bar to a specific
user.
Once the selection bar is positioned on a user, pressing ENTER
will display a menu of options. All options then selected will
reference the selected user.
This main menu and all sub-menus work the same way. Move the
selection bar to the requested option or item. Pressing ENTER
will perform the request, and pressing the ESCAPE key will
return to the previous menu. Pressing ALT-F10 at any time will
end the program.
PAGE 4
-- RUNNING THE WINDOWS VERSION --
Double clicking the ADVANCED USERLIST icon starts the program.
The current users logged in are found and a list box is displayed
showing the users node address, user id (login name), users full
name, connection Id and the date and time the user logged in.
The selection bar is positioned on the first user by default.
Clicking on any of the available buttons will perform that
function. Clicking one of the radio buttons will change the
sort sequence of the list. Clicking the down-arrow button to
the right of the file server name will allow you to change
file servers.
After clicking on one of the option buttons, clicking OK, CANCEL
or pressing the ESCAPE key will end the selected task.
PAGE 5
-- OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN BOTH VERSIONS --
SORT USER LIST
Move the selection bar to the requested sequence and press
ENTER (DOS) or click on the radio button next to the
sequence you want (WINDOWS). The available sequences are
node address, user id (login name), user full name,
connection id and login date and time.
SEND MESSAGE TO USER
Type the text of the message and press ENTER or click on
OK. The WINDOWS version allows the message to be sent to
all users while the DOS version does not. The total
length of the message text is limited (by Netware) to 55
characters. The user id of the person sending the message
is inserted into the beginning of the message so the
actual length of the message depends on the length of
the requesting users id.
USER LOGIN SCRIPT
The users login script is displayed.
SYSTEM LOGIN SCRIPT
The system login script is displayed.
SECURITY EQUIVALENCES
A list will be displayed showing the users and groups
the selected user has equivalence to.
GROUPS USER IS IN
A list will be displayed showing the groups the user
belongs to.
TRUSTEE ASSIGNMENTS
A list will be displayed showing the user trustee
assignments followed by the trustee assignments for all
groups the user belongs to. Both file and directory
assignments are displayed. For each file and directory,
the trustee rights displayed are:
S=Supervisory
R=Read
W=Write
C=Create
E=Erase
M=Modify
F=File Scan
A=Access Control
PAGE 6
-- RUNNING THE PROGRAM -- (continued)
REFRESH USER LIST
Re-scan and re-display the users currently logged into
the selected file server.
SELECT FILE SERVER TO VIEW
Move the selection bar to the requested file server and
press ENTER (DOS) or click the down arrow to the right of
the file server name and then click on any available file
server name (WINDOWS). The user list will then be
refreshed for users on this server.
ATTACH AND DETACH FROM VARIOUS SERVERS
When selecting a file server to view, selecting the
'Other Unattached File Servers...' will display a screen
of all file servers currently logged in to, and those not
logged into. Supply your user name and password and
then highlight the server to attach to or detach from
(no name or password are needed to detach). Once a server
is highlighted, the attach or detach options become
available.
PRINT JOB CONFIGURATIONS
Move the selection bar to the requested print job
configuration and press ENTER (DOS) or click on any
displayed print job configuration (WINDOWS).
The specifics for the requested configuration will be
displayed.
AUTOMATICALLY REFRESH THE USER LIST
The user list can be automatically refreshed every
1 to 60 seconds based on the users needs. Entering
zero will cancel the current automatic refresh if it
is active (DOS). Select ACTIVATE or DEACTIVATE for
the WINDOWS version.
VIEW MISCELLANEOUS USER INFORMATION.
o Object ID
o Password expiration date
o Grace logins remaining
o Days Between forced password changes
o Maximum connections
o Disk space restrictions and usage by volume

-- RUNNING THE PROGRAM -- (continued)
USERS TO DISPLAY (Display Options in DOS Version)
Select all users defined in the servers bindery or just
those that are currently logged in.
DISPLAY FORMAT (Display Options in DOS Version)
A typical screen does not have enough room to display
both a users login date/time and network address, so
you can select either one.
APPENDIX A
-- NOTES ON RUNNING WINDOWS WITH NETWARE --
Many articles have been written on the subject of running
Windows 3.1 with Netware. We have found that regardless of
these informative and helpful articles, trial and error often
are required to get proper integration.
The main problem is that there are many versions of the
netware drivers, and many of these are provided by the
manufacturer of the network interface card you may be using.
You may also be running the ODI version of the drivers,
EMS or XMS shell versions, Windows in standard or enhanced
mode, and other drivers within windows itself.
You may even be running the Netware Requester VLM.EXE with
Netware 4.0.
If you have problems running ADVANCED USERLIST, we would
suggest the following:
1. Get the complete set of current windows and netware
drivers. These can be obtained from Compuserve and
many other bulletin boards throughout the country.
Avoid getting just IPXODI.COM or NETX.COM for
example. Get the entire set.
2. Get the current network interface card drivers from
the manufacturer. This may be the ODI and non-ODI
versions. Also check with the manufacturer for any
known incompatibilities between their drivers and the
ones from Novell that they work with.
3. Install the new drivers and make sure they work
before running windows. Make note of the version of
the shell (NETX.COM, EMSNETX.EXE, XMSNETX.EXE, VLM.EXE).
4. Run the windows setup program and select the network
driver based on the version of the shell in use.
5. Test the program in both standard and enhanced mode.
6. If problems still exist, it may be because the EMS
version of the shell is being used (EMSNETX.EXE).
The NETWORKS.WRI file supplied with windows states
that the EMS version of the shell is not supported
in enhanced mode. Try using NETX.COM instead.
APPENDIX B
-- REVISION HISTORY --
Version 1.0 - November, 1992
Not released to the general public, private
distribution only.
Version 1.1 - January, 1993
Initial public release
Version 1.2 - May, 1993
1. Added ATTACH and DETACH capabilities. You can now
log in and out of any available server on your
internetwork.
2. Fixed problem with TRUSTEE ASSIGNMENTS not showing
trustee assignments for users a user has
equivalence to.
3. Integrated the Netware Client SDK. This was a
major and important change. The Netware Client
SDK provides compatibility for Netware versions
2.x, 3.x, and 4.x, as well as support for DOS,
WINDOWS, and OS/2.
Advanced Userlist WILL run under the Netware
Requester VLM.EXE, and will recognize Netware 4.x
file servers. The program WILL NOT provide all
the options (such as login scripts and print job
configurations) for Netware 4.x. These
capabilities are being evaluated and may be
incorporated in future releases.
4. The Netware Client SDK does not always indicate
the correct access level to the bindery. Some
options may return an error of 'No Such Segment'
when it should return an error of 'Insufficient
Authority'. This is only a problem for a user
running the program that does not have SUPERVISOR
equivalence, but wants to look at another users
Security Equivalences or Trustee Assignments.
5. Provide ability to display all users defined in
the bindery of a file server, not just those
currently logged in.
6. Provide ability to display either a users login
date and time or network address (not to be
confused with node address).
