# in this files are some notes for user of mars_nwe.
|
|
------09-Nov-96--- 0.98.pl5 ----------
|
|
- now Novell Client32 should works.
|
|
- new config.h flag. 'HANDLE_ALL_SAP_TYPS'
|
|
- section 8: new flag 0x2 added. (see examples/nw.ini).
|
|
- section 302: enhanced for 'split routing info file'.
|
|
- config.h: 'IPX_DATA_GR_546' enhanced.
|
|
------04-Oct-96--- 0.98.pl4 ----------
|
|
- new sections 8 + 9 in nw.ini (nwserv.conf).
|
|
Section 8: special login/logout/security flags.
|
|
Section 9: Standard creat mode for creating directories and files.
|
|
- file access now works with supplementary groups.
|
|
- simple station connect restrictions with nwserv.stations.
|
|
- and real bindery station login restrictions. (SYSCON)
|
|
------24-Aug-96--- 0.98.pl2 ----------
|
|
- 'PIPE' filesystem scheme changed. Now the first read or write
|
|
calls the 'pipe program' and not the open or creat call.
|
|
Therefore the first parameter is READ or WRITE and never CREAT!
|
|
Also a pipe command may have two 'channels' (read and write).
|
|
There is a little programpair comm.c/unxcomm.c in the
|
|
examples directory which explains the new scheme,
|
|
by reading the code ;).
|
|
------30-Jul-96--- 0.98.pl1 ----------
|
|
- better OS2 name handling (upper/lowercase)
|
|
------22-Jul-96--- 0.98.pl0 ----------
|
|
- problems with directory handles eliminated.
|
|
(missunderstood 'creat permanent directory handle' call :( )
|
|
- now poor OS/2 and NFS namespace added.
|
|
- dummy routine for OS/2 extended attributes.
|
|
(OS/2 WP needs it)
|
|
------12-Jul-96--- 0.97.pl9 ----------
|
|
- better automatic handling of adding and removing
|
|
of ipx-interfaces. (internal router)
|
|
- now running under linux/sparc.
|
|
- better file locking/sharing.
|
|
- some unix->dos attribute handling now.
|
|
- better read performance (mmap(ing)) config.h: USE_MMAP
|
|
- A not yet assigned mars_nwe user is now automatic assigned
|
|
to a Linux user with same name when the password is changed and the
|
|
new password is not null.
|
|
------------------ 0.97.pl7 ----------
|
|
Crypted Change password call implemented.
|
|
------05-May-96--- 0.97.pl3 ----------
|
|
Now nwserv can be called with parameter '-h' to send SIGHUP
|
|
to the main nwserv program or with '-k' to send SIGTERM
|
|
to the main nwserv program.
|
|
|
|
Updating utmp/wtmp files.
|
|
|
|
Automatic creat of ixp-interfaces in a NetWare
|
|
environment enabled.
|
|
|
|
Entry 1 for volumes enhanced.
|
|
Now you can make entries like:
|
|
|
|
1 HOME ~ k # Unixusers HOME
|
|
|
|
This means (path = '~') that this will be a volume
|
|
which allways point to the actual users homedir.
|
|
------21-Mar-96--- 0.97.pl2 ----------
|
|
Entry '7' in ini/conf file modified.
|
|
Old mode '8' is now mode '7' and mode '8'
|
|
is now extended by allowing empty mars_nwe passwords
|
|
although the linux password from this user is not empty.
|
|
-
|
|
Now mars_nwe works fine with OS/2 Client. :)
|
|
-
|
|
There is a new little kernelpatch 'kpatch1.3.72' in the
|
|
examples directory.
|
|
With this patch mars_nwe will speed up more than 30 %.
|
|
|
|
------10-Mar-96--- 0.97.pl0 ----------
|
|
New Conf-file entry '211' for broadcast periods.
|
|
Entries 400, 401 for special handling of the nearest server request.
|
|
-
|
|
Conf-file entry '6' enlarged.
|
|
-
|
|
New Entries '15' + '16' in conf-file.
|
|
With entry '15' you can allow mars_nwe insert all not yet known
|
|
users from /etc/passwd to mars_nwe bindery. But be carefully,
|
|
all new inserted users will get the same password from entry '15'.
|
|
-
|
|
If entry '16' is enabled ( '1' ) then mars_nwe will make some
|
|
checks for bindery and 'SYS:' directory.
|
|
For every user a MAIL/XXXXX dir will also be created.
|
|
-
|
|
Much more better bindery performance. :)
|
|
------13-Feb-96--- 0.96.pl9 ----------
|
|
New alternative password strategy in mars_nwe:
|
|
There is an new entry '7' in ini/conf file.
|
|
|
|
The user has now 4 ways to choose.
|
|
1. entry '7' = '0'.
|
|
maximal security by forbid unencryted password calls,
|
|
but till now no chance to modify passwords with client requests.
|
|
|
|
2. entry '7' = '1'.
|
|
good security by only allow unencryted change password call.
|
|
Here the user can use an old SETPAS or SYSCON program which
|
|
make the changing of passwords with unencryted calls.
|
|
|
|
3. entry '7' = '8'.
|
|
less security by allow all unencryted password calls.
|
|
Like 2. but the user can also use old LOGIN program
|
|
with unencryted passwords. Mars_nwe will allow password
|
|
from the bindery and system-user-password.
|
|
|
|
4. entry '7' = '9'.
|
|
Like 3. but in additional the routine 0x17 ufunc=0x17
|
|
(get crypt key) will allways fail.
|
|
So the LOGIN.EXE and SYSCON.EXE means that this is an old server
|
|
with only unencrypted passwords and will switch to the old unencryted
|
|
calls.
|
|
|
|
With the unencryted calls the clear passwords will go through the
|
|
wire, so mars_nwe can compare the passwords as well with the
|
|
stored bindery passwords as with the system passwords (crypt).
|
|
But there is a little hint. Passwords will ever be uppercase sent
|
|
from LOGIN.EXE or SYSCON.EXE
|
|
Mars_nwe makes three tries.
|
|
First try is with bindery-password, second try is with system
|
|
user-password and third try is making the password downcase and
|
|
compare with systen-user-password again.
|
|
When a user changes his password, only the bindery password will
|
|
be changed.
