Dear All,

I started a project to migrate an existing LAN running
on NetWare 4.11 to Linux [PCQLinux 7.1].

Old Config:
Server : Netware 4.11 - NDS, SPX/IPX
Nodes  : Win98 Client for Netware
LAN    : 10Mbps 10bT

New Config:
Server : PCQLinux 7.1 - TCP/IP, Samba, DNS, DHCP
Nodes  : Win98 Client for Microsoft Networks
LAN    : Same as above

Problem :
Previously when logging on to Netware the login script
sets some DOS environment varibles and the path. So
that when going to MSDos prompt
[StartMenu-Programs-MSDosPrompt] the env-vars & path
are always set.

Have written a startup.bat and kept it in
/home/netlogon so that it is executed when logging in.
Unfortunately the DOS env-vars from the script are not
saved globally so that at MSDosPromt they are not
available.

Part of Netware Script:
DOS SET USR=%USER
DOS SET USRNM=%FULL_NAME
DOS SET STATION=%STATION
DOS SET _GR=%GROUP

Part of STARTUP.BAT
SET USR=ami
SET USRNM=amitava sen
SET _GR=admin

Is it possible to do same as Netware? Some application
programs in Foxpro [DOS] call these env-vars to check
who the user is.

I have found a work around but would like to know if
there is another way.

Regards

Amitava Sen
