Siemens V4.0 manual LAN Manager/X

Introduction to Advanced Server for UNIX Compatibility

2.7.4 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 dos2unix 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.
