- 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.
