- Several patches and enhancements have been released for NetWare 286 v2.15
- rev. C. The following list identifies and describes the patch or program,
- and provides, in parentheses, the filename on NetWire to download.
-
- Invalid VIT Errors. Version 4.00 of NINSTALL corrects a problem when
- defining more than 31,000 directory entries on a large volume
- resulting in corrupt or invalid Volume Information Table errors.
- (NNST40.ZIP)
-
- Large Drives. Newer versions of LOADER.DAT and INSTOVL.OBJ allow NetWare
- 286 v2.15 rev. C to address hard drives larger than 1024 cylinders.
- They also address the system message "Warning! Bad Block Table Not
- Accessed." (LOADER.ZIP)
-
- Mirroring with Optical Drives. This patch allows a removable read/write
- drive to be added to an SFT NetWare v2.15 rev. C system with existing
- mirrored or duplexed drives. (MIRREM.ZIP)
-
- Security Anomaly. A very rare security shortcoming has been identified by
- Novell. It has been fixed with this patch. For most Novell customers
- who have intruder detection set on, this security weakness will not
- pose a problem. Novell recommends that all customers turn intruder
- detection on. If the customer has greater concerns for security, this
- corrective patch should be applied. This patch is for implementation
- on NetWare 286 v2.15 rev. C. (SEC286.ZIP)
-
- SPX Connections on Non-dedicated Workstations. This program will allow for
- more than 15 SPX connections on an Advanced NetWare 286 v2.15 rev. C
- non-dedicated server or bridge workstation. For other workstations,
- this function is configurable through SHELL.CFG. (NDSPX.ZIP)
-
- VAP and Volume Errors. This patch corrects a problem appearing in Advanced
- and SFT NetWare v2.15 rev. C servers when VAPs are loaded. Symptoms
- of this problem have been General Protection Interrupts or Stack
- Overflow Errors while a VAP is loading, or corruption in volume names
- on multi-volume systems. (VAPVOL.ZIP)
