NOVELL TECHNICAL INFORMATION DOCUMENT
TITLE: NetWare v4.1 LOGIN.EXE fixes
README FOR: LOG412.EXE
NOVELL PRODUCTS and VERSIONS:
NetWare 4.1
ABSTRACT:
This version of LOGIN.EXE corrects three problems: 1) The "if
member of <group>" statement in a login script will always
result in a true outcome. 2) Search drives mapped as root drives
are not searched if directory is subsequently changed. 3) Using
the login script DRIVE command caused the drive to be deleted.

SYMPTOM:
This version of LOGIN.EXE corrects three problems:
1) If you have groups that are identical except for the last
character, the "if member of <group>" statement in a login script
will result in a true outcome regardless of whether it is, in
fact, true or not.
2) Search drives mapped as root drives are not searched if
directory is subsequently changed. That is, if you map root
S1:=SYS:\PUBLIC then CD to SYS:PUBLIC\UTILS, the UTILS directory
will not be searched. This is a result of the PATH statement
being changed to PATH=Z:. (current directory) instead of PATH=Z:\
(root directory) as was the case in earlier versions of NetWare.
3) Using the login script DRIVE command caused the drive to be
deleted. Thus, if the login script contained the line DRIVE F:,
the F: drive would be deleted upon exiting the login script.
SOLUTION:
LOGIN.EXE v4.12 PTF (950418) Size: 314,557 Date: 04-18-95

The MAP.EXE which shipped with NetWare 4.10 handles map root
drives as described in symptom #2 above. If you want map to
handle map root drives the same as the is version of LOGIN.EXE,
