Does anyone know a quick way to up the number of open files for a file server? I would like to increase this number from the default without going back through the netgen process; I thought this could be done with DCONFIG but I can't find any options there which deal with it. Is this even possible with DCONFIG or some other utility? Thanks for any info.

The best way (if you have a set of diskettes which you downloaded to when you configured your server), is to down the server, boot DOS, restart netgen. Select the standard floppy method. Select Netware Installation. It will then ask if the Drive List is correct. Press ESC. Then select Miscellaneous Maintence. Select Load Operating System. ANSWER NO. Select Load System & PUblic Files. ANSWER NO. Then select System Configuration. You may then change such things as the file server name, number of open files, printer setups, volume names, and number of directory entries. Some are under other menu options of course. When you are through with your changes, ESC back the the primary menu, and select Continue Installation. Answer yes. You may then exit Netgen. Reboot your server, and your new settings are in effect.

Is this even possible with >DCONFIG or some other utility? Thanks for any info. It can't be done. (This is the official line from my Novell Authorized Training Center.) The maximum number of open files on the file server in NetWare version 2.x is 1,000. With a maximum of 100 users, this is a total of 10 files per user. NetWare 386 has a maximum of 100,000 open files on the file server and a user limit of 250. This gives 400 files to each user. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Karin Coffee Intel Supercomputer Systems Division Network/System Administration 15201 NW Greenbrier Parkway The LAN Lords Beaverton, OR 97201 karinc@isc.intel.com (503) 629-7693 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
