-----------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOM:
The audit log in UNICON is presented in an editable format and
should be read-only.
UNICON cannot administer WKS records, although UNICON --> DNS
Administration shows this option.
UNICON login should support NDS names with relative path.
When modifying very large hostgroup, UNICON can abend with Page
Fault Processor Exception, Running Process: hostgadm.
UNICON --> FTP Administration abend when bringing up list of
FTP users. Can only happen when many FTP clients logging in and
out rapidly.
UNICON DNS Replicate domain list allows invalid entries in
addr.arpa domain.
UNICON-->FTP Admin--->FTP Current session---> Statistics shows
that number of files transferred counts to 99 and then increments
to 10 instead of 100.
Abends when using UNICON --> MANAGE SERVICES --> MANAGE PRINT
SERVICES.
NFS server in NetWare mode does not correctly emulate NFS Server
1.2c when set to "not create trustees."
UNICON may abend during Printer Configuration if certain NDS
objects are removed.
DNS may not respond to ns query from a replicated domain because
the NDS Replica database is not checked for duplicate domain name
entries for soa & ns records.
Duplicate menu items appear on the Installed Products list when
upgrading to NFS Services 2.1 and NetWare 4.1 on a server with
Netware/IP already installed.
Cannot cancel a print job from NetWare PCNFS client.
NetWare PCNFSD does not support Beame & Whiteside mode 4. The
lock support procedure for PCNFSD in NFS Server should be
modified to handle MODE=4.
Stack Overflow abend when using certain UNICON functions if
using TCPIP.NLM version previous to 3.00e.
LPR client "lprm -Pprinter - command" can cause abend.
PLPD may occasionally abend in WaitOnSemaphore during a UNISTART
if a remote bindery queue has been exported.
Files may disappear from NFS Gateway volume when 17 or more
volumes are configured. It should support any number of volumes.
NFS Gateway File Date/Time stamp not updated immediately. There
is a small time gap after file is closed before a workstation
client sees the true time from the remote NFS server.
LPR Print Server abends when printing to a queue with no defined
queue users.
NetWare PCNFSD support needed for print jobs from FTP Software
ONNET 1.2.
NetWare PCNFSD does not delete the local spool job after
submitting the job to PLPD.
When configuring exported NetWare queues for UNIX-to-NetWare
printing, the available host list is not updated correctly.
When in NetWare access mode, file created by the NFS client on
the NetWare NFS server has owner set to root instead of the user,
even if the user is mapped across.
NFS Gateway abends when the NFS Gateway volume dismounted while
another NLM is using the volume.
FTP Server transfers files in 2KB blocks. It should be tunable
based on topologies such as FDDI which support larger block
sizes.
FTP Server occasional abend under heavy load.
FTP Server cannot find trustee home directory for NDS user.
FTP user can login as an ordinary user by specifying username
anonymous when logging in from a different OU than the product
context.
RARPSERV abends if trying to bind RARP to a board with 802.2
(unsupported) frame type.
SOLUTION:
For each SYMPTOM, install NFS197.EXE self-extracting file as
described below in Installation.
NOTE: NFS197 only replaces some of the NFS Services 2.1 files.
It cannot run on its own, and it cannot be used to upgrade from
NetWare NFS 1.x or NFS Gateway 1.x to NetWare UNIX Print Services
2.1 NetWare 4 Edition.
NOTE: this patch may be installed on any NetWare 4.1 server,
even if NFS Services 2.1 is not present. However, the patch
cannot function without the full product being installed. The
patch can be installed either before or after the installation of
NFS Services 2.1 itself. If patch is installed after 2.1, DNS
sub-zone options are not displayed during patch installation.
----------------------------
New Features
----------------------------
FTP Banner
The FTP server (FTPSERV.NLM) will display a welcome banner when
FTP users login. The banner file is SYS:ETC/BANNER.FTP on the
server running FTPSERV. It will only be displayed after a
successful login. The FTP server also displays the contents of
the file message.txt (if present) when the user changes directory
(cd) into that directory.
To suppress this feature, the FTP user can enter a dash ("-") as
the first character of the password.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
DNS Subnetting
This patch contains an enhanced DNS implementation that supports
IP subnetting.
NOTE: This feature is optional. If you do not need NetWare DNS
server to master a subnetted IP domain, answer NO when prompted.
More information on DNS Subnetting will be found in the
appropriate section of the Novell White Paper entitled "NFS
Services 2.1: New Features."
NOTE: If you are upgrading from an earlier version of DNS which
comes with NFS 2.1, NetWare/IP 1.2, or NFS Gateway 1.2, there may
be more than one primary entry for a domain under in-addr.arpa in
the SYS:ETC/NAMED.CFG file. The duplicate entries also will be
seen in UNICON when attempting to Delegate Subzone Authority.
Example NAMED.CFG:
primary 4.57.130.in-addr.arpa. filename
primary 5.57.130.in-addr.arpa filename
It is not acceptable to have two primary domain servers. To
avoid this, it is recommended to install this patch FIRST, and
then install the NFS Services 2.1 NetWare 4 Edition. To remedy
this, edit the NAMED.CFG file with any text editor.
NOTE: Initialization of the DNS database happens during
installation, and whenever the Initialize DNS Master Database is
used from UNICON. To re-initialize DNS services after
installation, LOAD UNICON /I.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Configuration of DNS master
To configure DNS server to master a subnetted IP domain, use
UNICON:
1. Manage Services -->
2. DNS --->
3. Inititalize DNS Master Database ---> YES
4. DNS service for specific subnetworks --> YES
NOTE: check to see that the domain is correct before continuing.
5. Select desired subnetworks by inserting or deleting
IP subnets to the list.
6. Inititalize DNS database --> YES
7. Remove Local Nameservers Old Database --->YES
Now the DNS master will begin mastering the specified IP
subnets. No other domains in the in-addr.arpa. domain will be
managed other than those subnets.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Implementation Details
The following files are used by DNS. Most are created or
refreshed during database initialization.
sys:etc/named.cfg contains information on the type of server
(Primary/Secondary/Cache), zone authority and source for initial
data.
sys:etc/dns/root.db contains information of authoritative name
servers for the root domain and frequently accessed domains that
are not related to the master zone. The DNS server cache is
primed with name server addresses during startup.
sys:etc/dns/hosts.db contains information about hosts in the
zone for which the name server is the authority. The location of
this file is specified in the boot file sys:etc/named.cfg.
sys:etc/dns/hostsrev.db specifies the in-addr.arpa domain which
is a special domain that allows address to host name mapping. It
allows for natural grouping of hosts in a network. This file is
created automatically in the background when the DNS server is
configured at the NetWare NFS Services 2.1 server. If the new
subnet partition scheme is selected to master IP subnets,
hostsrev.db will be replaced by subhosts.db. Otherwise
hostsrev.db will be kept and used.
Note that the data format is like a DNS domain name, with the IP
address appended with "in-addr.arpa." domain name. For each host
address, there will be an in-addr.arpa entry. An example record
in hostrev.db would be "1.4.57.130.in-addr.arpa".
sys:etc/dns/zonexx.db database contains data about hosts in the
domain "xx" for which the name server is a replica. "xx" is the
number assigned by DNSADMIN.NLM.
sys:etc/dns/subhosts.db is a new database for the in-addr.arpa
domain. It contains data about hosts in IP subnets in the form
of in-addr.arpa domains. If subnetting is not configured, the
hostsrev.db database is retained for the in-addr.arpa domain.
sys:etc/resolv.cfg specifies the DNS domain and lists the IP
addresses for the DNS server to use in resolving queries from
the DNS Client.
