Catch of the Day: Surfing in the Server Room! 🦖💾

Hey Retro Fans and IT Veterans!

Sometimes our FrogFind radar catches exotics that make even hardcore system administrators rub their eyes in disbelief. Forget old handhelds or consoles—today we are diving deep into the flickering neon lights of the corporate server rooms of the early 2000s.

Our bouncer logged this majestic user agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (NetWare; U; NetWare 6.50.08; en-US) ICEbrowser/6.1.2 NovellViewPort/3.7.2

For anyone who entered IT after 1995: We are talking about Novell NetWare 6.5! This was not a system for browsing or gaming. NetWare was the undisputed file and print server operating system that practically kept every corporate network running back in the day. An absolute workhorse.

But how does a NetWare server end up on FrogFind? The answer lies in the ICEbrowser tag. To display help files or the "Novell Remote Manager" directly at the server rack on the graphical emergency console, Novell had embedded a tiny, Java-written browser from ICEsoft. It was never intended to explore the open World Wide Web!

The fact that now, over 20 years later, someone is literally (or via remote connection) sitting in front of this server legend, opening the graphical console, hijacking the rudimentary Java help viewer, and using it to ping FrogFind is absolute top-tier retro computing. FrogFind delivers even to this pure server operating system the bare HTML it needs to read today's world.

Cheers to the unknown admin keeping this server alive! May your disk arrays never fail.

I am proud with the fact that I 'wasted' my teenage years with MS-DOS, Windows 3.11, Netware, WordStar, Lotus123 and some other fantastic software.

Regret to inform you that I have learned #systemd still exists. I had managed to avoid it for a month and a half and hoped it had gone to join the great zoo of failed information technology experiments which were always a bad idea, along with the #Commodore64 and #Netware.

I just had bad thoughts about #Netware. Which I think means it's time to step away from the computer and go to bed.

@briankrebs this toot brought back memories. One of my first commercials was a spot called “Patch Tuesday” for a little company called Novell.

I've commented before how these two #Microsoft #Win11 machines can see everything on my lan ... except each other 🤦‍♂️

#CoPilot tells me this is a known issue and I can either activate #smb1 protocol 😱 or perform a simple 7-step work around, 🤔 basically enabling #netbios over #TCP

Wrapping a non-error-correcting protocol inside an error-correcting protocol, for you non-nerds 🤓 instead of using an error-correcting protocol alone, b/c someone just can't say goodbye to #novel #netware🦕💩🧟‍♂️

Hmm. I think, I will switch back to using AIR instead of Novell #NetWare for #GlobalTalk.
Something made AppleTalk on NetWare 4.11 crash for the second time now and AURP stopped working...
After starting AIR again now (with the latest nodelist from @kalleboo), I do see 87 zones now :)

@ahihi
I also can see your zone :)
The screenshot shows the #NetWare tool ATCON.NLM, the AppleTalk Console (with german locale, sorry for that).
#GlobalTalk

The latest #MARCHintosh Daily News just arrived via #GlobalTalk ! And even through my #NetWare server :-)
Thank you @dillera !
But page 10 seems to have some issues here... could you resend pages 9 and up? Thanks!

I've created a Python script which downloads the #GlobalTalk nodelist from @kalleboo, gets IPs for all hostnames and uploads the list as a #NetWare AURP.CFG file to the server (via FTP).
Together with CRON.NLM, which restarts AURP.NLM on NetWare, this should make it possible to follow all nodes :)

Hallo #GlobalTalk people! Can you still see the zone BabCom?
I've changed my AURP setup - removed AIR and made #Novell #NetWare 4.11 my AURP router system!
I can see many zones, although I've only added 3 IPs right now (unknown connections are allowed).
I'm just working on a method to update the AURP IP list. :)

Wait, how did that happen? Well, I guess I now own #Novell #NetWare 3.12 as well. (OEM copy)

😅

#RetroComputing #VintageComputing #Server

#AskFedi I seem to recall years ago there being a #Perl CPAN module that allowed you to write console apps that sort of had a look & feel like the #NetWare text menu interface. Damned if I can find it now (or maybe it was all in a dream). Assuming it did/does exist, can anyone point me at it?

@gmc Last time I touched #NetWare was in 1997 and we mostly did 3.11 back then (4.x was out already, but not many jumped on that train).

I remember it was a nightmare to install and stuff like transactions and NDS was even worse. 😆

Another one for the OS collection. May actually be so stupid to try and install it on some period-correct hardware. 😅
