The SYSCON version released with NetWare v2.15 returns the following error when invoked if the fileserver name is longer than 8 characters:
CreateDirectory returned an error code of -1
If the user hits the Escape key, the same error reappears; the user can then continue. This error occurs because SYSCON is attempting to create a directory that already exists.
SYSCON returns the following error message when changes are made to the system login script:
ChangeMode returned an error code of 206
An attempt to change file attributes of file "\\server_name\sys\public\net$log.dat" failed. the mode was 1.
After the error message appears, the user is returned to the login script. (The changes have actually been saved at this point.)

The problems listed above have been fixed in a new release of SYSCON.EXE. The new file size and date is 236039 6/27/89. The version associated with this copy of SYSCON is v2.20a. The new version of SYSCON.EXE is available on NetWire.
