README FOR SYS368.ZIP
This README file accompanies SYSCON.EXE v3.68 for NetWare v3.11 and v2.2.
The following files are included with this release:
Purpose:
SYSCON would fail to find the supervisor and guest mail directories on 286
servers which contained a dot in the name if the servername was longer than
8 characters. For example syscon would fail if a server was named
OR.MORECHARES but would work if it was named OR2.2 This new SYSCON also
fixes a problem of data and directories being deleted. This occurs when
accessing "Trustee Directory Assignments" under "User Information" in the
SYSCON utility. If an attempt is made to add rights to a user for a
specific directory, and that directory pathname is entered incorrectly,
with a forward slash following the colon after the volume name (i.e.
SERVER/SYS:/PUBLIC/DOS), all data in that directory is lost.
Installation:
1) Flag SYSCON.EXE in the public directory to SRW.
2) Copy SYSCON.EXE from the public directory to a diskette for backup
purposes.
3) Copy this version of SYSCON.EXE to the public directory.
4) Flag SYSCON.EXE in the public directory to SRO.
