Environment:
AREV 2.12, NLM 1.12 (lh and lhipxser /p:1472), NetWare 4.11, Windows 95
Scenario:
We would like to run AREV under Windows 95 and provide some kind of
security for our AREV files. We are currently considering running the AREV client using the /p@ switch (specify "REVELATION" user for NLM-based access) and the NLM *without* the /oa switch. This will
allow us to take AREV file priveleges out of the user's Novell access rights (except for a handful of files needed for AREV.EXE).
Questions:
1) are there any additional NLM resource requirements (server RAM, network bandwidth, etc.) in this configuration as compared to loading AREV without the /p@ switch?
2) is there any danger of file corruption if we mix AREV clients loaded both with and without the /p@ switch?
3) any problems with running the AREV client with the /p@ switch and the NLM *without* /oa switch? (The NLM manunal *implies* that both the AREV client and NLM switches should be set but does not explicitly state that this must be done It appears from my testing that the AREV client switch and NLM switch are independent and need not be set concurrently. We would prefer to *not* set the NLM /oa switch since we had problems with *apparent* file corruption running a development server in this configuration.)
Any response regarding these questions is appreciated,
-Bruce
