- ~07 |Privileges
- The privileges are defined as follows:
-
- A - SuperACL Privilege
- If this privilege is enabled, the Access Control Lists (ACLs)
- protecting printers, subdirectories and sending mail will not be
- checked. This user will have access to every shared resource on the
- server. If this privilege is disabled, ACL protection is enforced.
-
- Q - SuperQueue Privilege
- If this privilege is enabled, the user will be allowed to view and
- manipulate all jobs in the print queue. When the Q privilege is
- disabled, the user can only see and control their own print jobs.
-
- M - SuperMail Privilege
- If this privilege is enabled, you will be allowed to manipulate all
- items in the mail queue. If the M privilege is disabled, you can
- only manipulate mail items sent to or by you.
-
- S - System Manager Privilege
- If this privilege is enabled, the user will be allowed to perform
- system management functions on the server.
-
- NOTE: The S privilege will be used in a future version of the
- operating system. It is currently not implemented.
- You should NOT enable this privilege at this time.
-

- `SO Server Startup Parameters Help
- |Maximum Users
- The maximum number of users that can be simultaneously logged in to your
- server. The more users you specify, the more memory the server will use
- when running.
- ~01 |Network Buffer
- The size of the buffer the server uses for network communication. While
- performance is enhanced with larger buffers, this will use more server
- memory.
- ~02 |Number Adapters
- Normally a server will have only one NETBIOS adapter installed. However,
- you may install up to six NETBIOS adapters in a server. Each NETBIOS
- adapter can then service an independent network.
- ~03 |Network Tasks
- This field allows you to set the number of concurrent requests the server
- can perform. Each network task requires a network buffer, so increasing
- this number will increase the amount of memory the server will use.
-
- If you have multiple adapters in a server, you should specify a network
- task for each adapter.
-
- You may want to increase the number of network tasks if you have
- multiple users logged in. In general, set the number of network tasks
- to: (1/4 * number_of_users) + 1
-
- If you have multiple adapters and multiple users logged in, use the
- following formula to compute the number of network tasks:
-
- number_of_adapters + (1/4 * number_of_users) + 1
- ~04 |Send Server ID
- If you enable this function, the server's name will be broadcast to all
- users on the network. If this function is disabled, a user must know the
- name of the server in order to log in to it.
- ~05 |Remote Booting
- Allows a properly configured machine to boot over the network. The
- remote machine must have the appropriate hardware/software installed in
- it.
-
- Prior to enabling this option, you must create a boot image using the
- Boot Image Maintenance option from the Main Functions menu.
- ~06 |Floppy Direct
- When this function is enabled, a user on the server may issue the DOS
- FORMAT and CHKDSK commands for floppy disks.
-
- If floppy direct access is enabled and the floppy is shared on the
- network, make sure that no one formats a floppy disk at the same time it
- is being accessed across the network.
- ~07 |Despooling
- When this function is enabled, entries in the print queue begin printing
- as soon as the server is started. When despooling is disabled, entries
- in the print queue are not printed until despooling is started by a NET
- START or ONE-JOB command.
- ~08 |Printer Buffer Size
- This field sets the size of the buffer that each printer task will use
- when despooling printer data. In general, you can increase printing
- speed by making the printer buffer larger, but this will use more server
- memory.
- ~09 |Printer Tasks
- This field sets the number of concurrent printing jobs. If you want to
- simultaneously print to several printers, allocate one printer task for
- each printer attached to the server.
-
- Each printer task uses a printer buffer for despooling. The more printer
- tasks you set, the more server memory you will use.
- ~0A |Max Files Open
- Normally the maximum number of files that can be opened is controlled by
- your CONFIG.SYS file with the FILES= statement. The maximum number of
- files the server can open is 255 if the FILES= statement is used. If you
- want more files opened or if you don't want to conflict with files opened
- locally, then you can specify a number between 50 and 5100. This causes
- the server to allocate its own files separately from those allocated
- through the CONFIG.SYS file.
- ~0C |Audit Server Up
- When this function is enabled, an audit entry is made when the server is
- started.
- ~0D |Audit Logins
- When this function is enabled, an audit entry is made when a user logs in
- to the server.
- ~0E |Audit Logouts
- When this function is enabled, an audit entry is made when a user logs
- off the server.
- ~0F |Audit Queueing
- When this function is enabled, an audit entry is made when an entry is
- placed in the server's queue. This includes both mail and print queue
- entries. Placing an entry in the queue is different from printing an
- entry from the queue (see below).
- ~10 |Audit Printing
- When this function is enabled, an audit entry is made when a print job
- finishes printing.
- ~11 |Audit User Entry
- When this function is enabled, an audit entry is made when a user issues
- a NET AUDIT command.
- ~12 |Access Allowed
- An audit entry will be made when the specified access is ALLOWED by the
- server. For example, if you want to make an entry whenever someone is
- allowed to read or write a file you would select the R and W access
- control rights.
-
- If no access control letters are shown (-----------), access allowed
- auditing is disabled.
-
- The ACL rights are as follows:
-
- R - Read access
- W - Write access
- C - Create files
- M - Make directories
- L - Allow file lookups (DIR's)
- D - Delete files
- K - Kill (remove) directories
- N - Rename files
- E - Allow program execution
- A - Allow file attributes to be changed
- I - Directory supports indirect file
- P - Allow physical access to resources
- ~13 |Access Denied
- An audit entry will be made when the specified access is DENIED by the
- server. For example, if you want to make an entry whenever someone is
- not allowed to delete or rename a file you would select the D and N
- access control rights.
-
- If no access control letters are shown (-----------), access denied
- auditing is disabled.
-
- Press PgUp for a brief list of ACL rights.
- `SB Size of Network Buffer Help
- The size of buffer the server uses for network communication. Specifying
- a large buffer will increase network performance but may decrease response
- time while working on the server computer. A smaller buffer size will
- delay response time on the network but may improve response time on the
- server computer. If you plan to dedicate a computer as a server, you
- should choose a large buffer size.
-
- The default value of 4096 will give adequate network performance while
- using little memory. If you are extremely short of memory you can choose
- the 2048 size.
- `DR Creating, Removing, and Modifying Resource Help
- Within the network control directory are the links between the network
- resources that the remote user will see and the physical subdirectories on
- the server's disks.
-
- For example, if you had a hard disk C: and a subdirectory named
- C:\PAYROLL, and you wanted them to be accessed over the network. You
- could call the resources C-DRIVE, PAYROLL respectively. If a user logged
- in to your server, they would see C-DRIVE and PAYROLL as subdirectories
- such as:
-
- C-DRIVE <DIR> 1-10-88 8:33a
- PAYROLL <DIR> 1-10-88 8:35a
-
- If the user changes to one of these subdirectories with the DOS Change
- Directory (CD) command, they will be connected with the disk drive, or the
- subdirectory that was specified for the resource.
-
- Printers and mail can also be specified as resources. These resources are
- special and require an at sign "@" at the beginning of the name. @MATRIX
- is an example of a printer resource, while @MAIL is always the name of the
- mail resource. Printer resources can refer to the server's parallel or
- serial ports.
-
- |To create a shared network resource, press the Ins key. You will be
- prompted for the necessary information.
- |To remove a shared network resource, move the selection bar to the
- proper resource and press Del.
- |To modify a shared network resource, move the selection bar to the
- proper resource and press Enter.

- This is useful for printers which do not support tabs. A typical tab
- setting is 8.
- ~05 |Paper Width
- If the banner page option is enabled, you may set this field to the
- proper paper width to make the banner. You do NOT need to set this field
- if you are using standard 8.5" x 11" paper.
- ~06 |Chars/Second
- This option sets the minimum number of characters that the despooler will
- send to the printer each second, regardless of the task the server is
- performing. If you set a value that is greater than the maximum number
- of characters per second that your computer can output, your computer
- will take some memory away from other functions in order to achieve the
- CPS set in this field.
- ~07 |Setup Delay
- The number of seconds the despooler will wait between sending the setup
- string to the printer and sending the actual data to be printed. This
- is useful for printers that need time to initialize the setup string.
- ~08 |Cleanup Delay
- The number of seconds the despooler will wait after sending the cleanup

- |K - Delete Directories
- User can remove/delete a subdirectory.
- |N - Rename Files
- User can rename a file to a new name.
- |E - Allow Program Execution
- User has the right to execute a program. Some applications, like
- Microsoft Windows, do not "Execute" programs. Windows reads a program
- into memory and does not perform a DOS Exec system call. In this case
- you must give the user Read access to run programs. COMMAND.COM does
- use the Exec system call, so E access should allow a user to run most
- programs that execute from the DOS prompt.
- |A - Allow file Attributes to be changed
- A user can change attributes of files in the shared directory.
- |I - Directory supports indirect files
- References to an indirect file will cause the contents of the indirect
- file to be replaced with the contents of the file that the indirect
- file points to.
- |P - Allow Physical Access to Devices
- Allow the user to connect to DOS devices directly and not through the
- spooler. This can result in the remote system waiting a long time for
- a printer request. During these times network requests and local
- requests can be suspended.
- WARNING! YOU ARE STRONGLY URGED NOT TO ENABLE THE P ACCESS RIGHT.
-
- An access control list (ACL) is a list of username templates and their
- associated rights. For example:
-
- ADMIN_* RWCMLDKNEAI-

- * ----L-------
-
- The fist ACL, ADMIN_*, specifies that any user with the first six letters
- "ADMIN_", such as ADMIN_NED, would have full access to the server's shared
- resource that contains this ACL. CARL IS ALLOWED to read, write, look up
- files and execute programs but can not delete or rename files. All other
- users (designated by the "*") can only look up files.

- `BT Boot Image Maintenance Help
- |Build Boot Image
- This will make a boot image to be used by the remote boot feature. You
- must place a bootable floppy disk in either the A: or B: drive. We
- suggest that you use a 360K or 180K disk as this will increase the speed
- of the remote boot procedure. After making a boot image, you will need
- to enable Remote Booting from the Server Setup Parameters menu.
-
- If an error occurs while the boot image is being made, the boot image
- file will be deleted and the Remote Booting option will be disabled in
- the Server Startup Parameters.
- ~01 |Delete Boot Image
