- This is the README file for BNDFIX.EXE which contains
- BINDFIX.EXE Version 3.53 which replaces BINDFIX.EXE vX.XX that ships
- with NNS v1.0 for NetWare v2.15C and above and NetWare v3.x.
-
- The following files are included for this revision:
-
- BINDFIX.EXE 74,251 6-17-92 11:32p
- BNDFIX.TXT this file
-
- Purpose:
-
- 1) This version of BINDFIX.EXE fixes a problem found when defining a user
- as a group member. The user would be added to the list of members in
- the Group member list in NETCON, but when viewing the same information
- from the GROUPS BELONGED TO option, the group name would not appear in
- the list. If the system administrator tries to insert the group from
- the GROUPS BELONGED TO, an error message "AddBinderyObjecttoSet
- returned error 233" would appear (indicating that the member already
- exists). If an attempt is made from the group side to delete the user
- from the group member list, the error "DeleteBinderyObjectFromSet
- returned error 234" appears (indicating that the member doesn't exist).
-
- BINDFIX v3.52 that ships with NNS v1.0 would not fix this problem.
- BINDFIX does check links between users and groups for consistency but
- due to a programming issue, would only check the first 32 members of a
- group for consistency. BINDFIX v3.53 checks all members of the group
- for consistency.
-
- 2) This version of BINDFIX has been compiled using the large memory model.
- It addresses the problem of BINDFIX running out of memory when checking
- for duplicate OBJECTS or duplicate PROPERTIES.
-
- 3) The previous fix (the large memory model) had an erroneous library linked
- in. This version of Bindfix (3.53) has the correct library linked in.
-
- To install this utility:
-
- 1) Flag BINDFIX.EXE as SRW (Sharable Read Write) in the SYSTEM directory.
-
- 2) Rename BINDFIX.EXE to BINDFIX.OLD in the SYSTEM directory for
- backup purposes.
-
- 3) Copy BINDFIX.EXE to the SYSTEM directory.
-
- 4) Flag the new copy of BINDFIX.EXE back to SRO (Sharable Read-Only).
