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.
