- Just a note on what we have done here over the last few month with our
- DOS based waffle system.
-
- We currently have several nodes running under Novell Lite, and Waffle
- works fine if you follow the DOC's that come with it ie add the entries
- to your static file, a static file for each node etc..
-
- However I have gone a step further and increased the processing time for
- local logins by installing waffle on each node as well as the main comms
- server (this node). This is a simple process and have done the following
-
- Node Files Common on Server
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1 run1.bat
- static1
- all the waffle /directories
- password/files/news
- 2 run2.bat
- static2
- all the waffle /directories
- password/files/news
- 3 onwards ditto
-
- In the run.bats I have included the line normaly in the autoexec.bat
- set waffle=c:\waffle\static1 (or whatever the node number is).
-
- In the static files I have pathed then local bar password,news and files
- the server node has the spool dir to itself.
-
- This also allows you to rename your organ: line to identify the
- node people are using as well, ie this node says I am on the
- Cserver (the dedicated uucp node) while the others refer to local
- logins ..
-
-
- Not only has this increased the processing time but I have found no
- slow down even at v32bis local and uucp connects. However when I ran
- the same version of waffle with multiple static files I found that the
- uucp connects to me were down by over 200cps because of the network
- delays.
-
- I hope this helps someone out there.
