7.19 Configuring NMMGR

From Doug Werth:

I ran across something the other day that I have never seen used before in any of the sites I have dealt with, nor have I seen or heard it discussed. It is a file called NMSTART.PUB.SYS and it sets controls for NMMGR. A sample file would look like this:

:print nmstart

password maryxmas

exitvalidate dts on

exitvalidate netxport on

This file will accomplish two things. First, it won't allow anybody to modify the NMCONFIG file without the password (remember the 'write access password' at the bottom of the opening screen in NMMGR?). Second, it will automatically validate dts and netxport upon exiting NMMGR (and then only if necessary).
