- UPLOADS
-
- SEC286.ZIP and
- SEC386.ZIP - A very rare security shortcoming has been identified by
- Novell. It has been fixed with these patches. 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.
-
- SEC286.ZIP should only be applied to released copies of
- NetWare 286 v2.15 rev C; any previous or subsequent versions
- of 286-based NetWare do not have this problem and should not
- have this program fix applied to them.
-
- SEC386.ZIP should only be applied to released copies of
- NetWare 386 v3.10 rev A.
