LAN Manager/X V1.1
Version 2.0 and later of LAN Manager/X or Advanced Server for UNIX are compatible with
Version 1.1 as regards the following:
●
The environment variable
$xLMX
●
The environment variable
$LM_HOMEDIR
●
The file
/etc/rclmx
, in which the environment variables are set
●
The automatic call of
/etc/rclmx
from the script
/etc/profile
●
The utilities
d
os2unix
and
unix2dos
, which can be called under the system path and
under
$xLMX/bin
●
The programs
net
and
lm
, which can be called under
$xLMX/bin
●
The script
lmx
for starting and stopping the server (with the NetBIOS administration
program) and the server status display.
Important changes to the previous version for Version 2.0 and later:
●
The domain concept is supported.
●
You can route the output of the printer spooler to a printer that is connected to a client
(shared client printer).
●
The share table and usernames are saved in a different format (if required this data can
be converted manually for the new version).
●
The MS-DOS notation must be used with the command
net
, for example options may
only be introduced with the character “/”.
●
For shared directories,
c:
must always be specified with the command
net share
,
e.g.
net share sf1=c:/u1/sf1.
●
Programs which create LM named pipes must have root authorization.
●
LAN Manager/X must be started when creating the LM named pipes.
●
Remote systems can be administered from a client with the command
net admin
. For
this purpose, the server name must always be specified e.g.
net admin \\server1 /command
●
The prefix
net
must always be set in the administration shell.
●
The configuration file is now called
$xLMX/lanman.ini
, and only contains values which
deviate from standard. The program
srvconfig
should always be used for viewing or
modification functions. The chapter
“Lanman.ini File“
contains a description of this.
