APPENDIX B
The LANMAN.INI File
The LANMAN.INI file is the initialization file for LAN Manager
workstations. This file determines the option settings for your computer.
LAN Manager comes with a default LANMAN.INI file that is modified
during setup to make your computer unique on the network. After your
computer has LAN Manager installed, you can change the values in the
LANMAN.INI file to serve the particular needs of your computer or
domain. To see the default LANMAN.INI contents, see the example
LANMAN.INI files, later in this appendix.
This appendix describes how to change entries in the LANMAN.INI file
during setup and after your computer is running on the network. It
introduces each section of the file and notes whether the section is only
for servers. It describes each entry for the section, and highlights entries
that are different for MS-DOS and OS/2 workstations. The entry
description includes the range and default for values.
Each time you start a part of the LAN Manager software, LAN Manager
reads the LANMAN.INI file, and then uses the appropriate values to
configure the computer. Values in the LANMAN.INI file that configure
LAN Manager services are comparable to options for commands you
type at the command line. In many cases, you can override
LANMAN.INI settings with command-line options.
The sections of LANMAN.INI that do not configure services are the
[netshell], [networks], and [services] sections. The [netshell] section
contains the username that LAN Manager displays when you log on to
the network. The [networks] section lists the number of networks and
points to the network device drivers.
The [services] section lists the directories that contain the software for
the LAN Manager services.
Note
This appendix does not discuss the LANMAN.INI file for
LAN Manager Basic workstations. For information about the
LANMAN.INI file for LAN Manager Basic workstations, see the User’s
Guide for MS-DOS Clients.
