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

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.
