III-136 To control the duration of a log file generated by the Gopher service, change this registry entry.

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GOPHERSVC\ Parameters

Add the following value under the Parameters key:

Value Name: LogFilePeriod
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

The values for LogFilePeriod are as follows:

0 never open a new log file. Instead, log file size is governed by LogFileTruncateSize
1 open a new log file every day
2 open a new log file every week
3 open a new log file every month

The default is 0. Restart the service for this value to take effect.

III-137 This registry entry determines the maximum size, in bytes, a Gopher log file can be before the Gopher Server logging service opens a new file.

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GOPHERSVC\ Parameters

Add the following value under the Parameters key:

Value name: LogFileTruncateSize
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1388000

The default value is 1,388,000. If this value is set to 0, the log file grows to fill the available disk space. A value other than 0 specifies the maximum size of the log file before a new log file is opened.

III-138 To limit the maximum number of user connections your Gopher service allows, change this registry entry. It controls how many people can access your gopher server at a given time.

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GOPHERSVC\ Parameters

Add the following value under the Parameters key:

Value Name: MaxConnections
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0x186a0

Restart the service for this value to take effect.

Works 4.0

III-139 If you recently installed MS Works 4.0 and cannot perform a spellcheck in Exchange, check the following registry values.

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SharedTools\ProofingTools\CustomDictionaries
Value Name: 1
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value: < fully qualified path and directory >

Sometimes MS Works incorrectly sets this value to an invalid path. You need to find the correct path and change the value 1 to the correct path name.

FTP

III-140 To annotate the directories that are displayed with the FTP service, check this registry entry. It lets you customize the directory display.

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Value Name: AnnotateDirectories
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0

The FTP service lets you customize your directories by displaying special text stored in a file called ∼ftpsvc∼ckm in the directory you wish to customize. The default value for this entry is 0, which disables the feature. Change the value to 1 to enable this feature. Restart the service for this value to take effect.
