NOVELL TECHNICAL INFORMATION DOCUMENT
TITLE: NetWare for Macintosh 3.12 Patch
DOCUMENT ID: TID350302
DOCUMENT REVISION: D
DATE: 30JAN95
ALERT STATUS: Yellow
INFORMATION TYPE: Symptom Solution
README FOR: AFP11.EXE
NOVELL PRODUCT and VERSION:
NetWare for Macintosh 3.12
ABSTRACT:
NetWare for Macintosh supports volumes larger than two Gigabytes. For these
large volumes, the Macintosh Finder will show a maximum of 1,000 Megabytes
available. However, the actual amount of available disk space may be
considerably greater. (Note: This is a limitation of the Apple Macintosh
operating system, and not a problem with NetWare for Macintosh.) The file
AFP11.EXE contains the AFP patch version 3.12f. Version 3.12f of AFP solves
the following problems.

SYMPTOM
When a users password has expired and they attempt to login using the NetWare
UAM (encrypted passwords), they will receive an "Error -1072 occurred while
trying to login: session has been closed by server". After the first user
receives the -1072 error then all Macintosh users will receive the same error
message during login and the file server utilization will increase to 50%-65%.
Through MONITOR.NLM under Connection Information, the user names show up as
logged in, but cannot be deleted. After multiple login attempts the Macintosh
workstation may hang during login. Loading MONITOR.NLM may cause the file
server to ABEND. Unloading AFP may cause the file server to hang.
When mounting a volume larger than 4GB on the desktop, the Macintosh Finder
may incorrectly show the available disk space as something less than 1GB. You
cannot copy files that are larger than the reported available disk space. The
series of calculations in AFP, that determine the number of bytes available on
a volume, produced erroneous results. This problem occurred when the size of
the result was over 4GB.
When a locked file is moved to the trash, the client and server hang (running
process AFP). NetWare Operating System 3.11 has a bug regarding moving,
renaming, and deleting files with a locked stream. This particular problem
occurs when running NetWare for Macintosh 3.12 on a file server with the
NetWare 3.11 Operating System.
Servers with large amounts of RAM suffer GPPEs or ABENDs in process AFP. The
ABEND will read "ABEND: Check memory found contiguous fragments not pointing
to each other."
There is a problem with similar volume alias names the wrong volume would
mount or server would ABEND.
SOLUTION
Apply the AFP11 patch to AFP.NLM v3.12a.
