fix
When you issue the NSS HELP command at the server console, several pages of NSS command-line parameters are displayed, one page at a time. After the first page has been displayed, it will pause and wait for you to touch a key. You can advance to the next page by pressing the space bar; to the next line by pressing <Enter>, or you can terminate the display by pressing <ESC>. The parameters vary with NSS and OS versions. The command-line options must be preceded with a forward slash (/). They are NOT case sensitive, and you only need to type enough of the option to make it unique among all of the other parameters.
For example, to activate a pool named DATA, type one of the following:
If you need to define nss parameters at boot time (in NetWare 6.x only):
server -z"parameter you want" , eg:
server -z"/namecachesize=xxxxx"
server -z"/namecachesize=xxx /cachebalance=yy /numbonds=zzzzz"
OR
you may alternatively create a text file c:\nwserver\nssstart.cfg and put the needed parameters into it as follows:
/namecachesize=xxx
/cachebalance=yy
/numbonds=zzzzz
Please be aware that the forward slash (/) is required, and if you misspell any of the paramters, the server will not come up successfully, and none of the NSS commands will work.
