Known limitations/Information for FTPD NLM Version 1.31
1. The LIST command returns the current effective rights
for the attached user. The effective rights are correctly
displayed on NW386 3.11 servers, but older 2.15 servers
incorrectly display the effective rights for files as
having no rights.
This will be fixed in a future release.
2. Users with the special ALPHA version of CLIB.NLM shipped with
The NLM development kit 2.0(c) may experience difficulty
when unloading the FTPD NLM.
This appears to be a problem ONLY with this special alpha release
of the CLIB.NLM, and it does not effect any normal CLIB shipped
with the NW386 3.11 disks.
A work-around has been applied to the FTPD.NLM, but has not been
thoroughly tested before it was shipped.
For best results, ensure that the FTPD display is off before
unloading the NLM.
The display is off by default, but if you enabled it you can
turn it off by issuing the command
ftpd displayoff
3. When using the NLM to access other servers via the proxy
capability (ie: entering a server name with the userid when
first logging in), the console setting
reply to get nearest server = no
must *NOT* be used.
Netware 386 defaults to answering `get nearest server'
requests. If you have set this to `no', then proxy service
won't work due to a bug in the Netware operating system.
This bug is not fatal, it simply inhibits the FTPD NLM
from being able to login to remote servers to provide
FTP service.
4. After unloading the FTPD.NLM, you may have to wait 60 seconds
before reloading it to allow the TCPIP.NLM to clear the previous
listen connection. Although the socket is marked as SO_REUSEADDR,
the TCPIP.NLM does not appear to always honor that request, and
will display
FTPD:error bind:address already in use
The solution is to wait one minute before reloading if this
message appears, or to unload and reload the tcpip.nlm
To restart the FTPD.NLM (after changing the ftpd.cfg file)
use the `FTPD reconfig' command instead of unloading and
reloading the NLM.
