hai, can anybody help me?
1st question :
how to set or create a login script which user can see it but user can not change the login script?
2nd question :
how to combine 2 harddisk (HD) to become 1 volume SYS? I have a Novell Server using Novell Netware 4.1.1, which before was using only one HD (this is the SYS volume). Now I want to add another HD (add one HD so it become 2 HD in the Novell Server), but how to set both HD become only one volume (SYS volume)?

thank you...
please relpy to my email as soon as possible...
I really need an answer...
thank you...

Hi !

About login script. There are 2 options:
1. You can ada script to container which holds users - users by
default cant edit container login script;
2. You can remove them rights on themselves to edit login script: in
NWAdmin choos persons login, right mouse button, trusties, then select
this person, in property rights select selected properties, then find
Login script in list and remove checkbox from write. Thats all.

About HDD.

Do You really need to add additional HDD to Your sys volume? Why You
need this? F.e. if You like to add another HDD to sys because there
are printer spool files on sys, better idea is to move those spools to
another volume. Can U specify why U need this?

I agree Dzintars on login scripts.

You SHOULD not be storing any kind of data on the SYS volume, if this is why you need to expand the SYS volume size you should instead move data to another volume such as "VOL1" or "DATA" whatever other volume you have. Printing volume should also NOT be SYS.

It is extremely poor design (although legacy systems were treated that way) to have anything on SYS: volume other than what the NW OS puts there!!

You can spread your SYS volume across multiple physical drives (called SPANNING the volume). This can lead to major issues later in life, so I DO NOT RECOMMEND this approach. In a former life, I inherited a NW4.11 server with spanned volumes - when it came time to upgrade it, it created multiple long weekends because a spanned volume will contain multiple DET (Directory Entry Tables - kind of like FAT on DOS/Windows).

Now that I've scared you - if you really need to do this, load up INSTALL.NLM. Under the disk options, you need to create the NetWare partition on the new drive. Then, you will have the option to expand the SYS volume on the new partition. Check out TID 10019754 on support.novell.com for more information on SPANNING a volume.

Your best solution is to buy a much bigger hard drive and do a backup and restore than to span the SYS volume!!
