-
- ISSUE:
-
- In order to use the MACCLNT.EXE file to install the client software on
- a workstation, NetWare for Macintosh must be installed on the server so that
- the workstation can access the server. You can install the client software on a
- workstation by accessing the MACCLNT.EXE file on the server.
-
- Follow these steps:
-
- 1. Copy the MACCLNT.EXE file to a NetWare server volume that
- has the Macintosh name space installed on it. The MACCLNT.EXE file is a
- compressed file containing the NetWare Client for Mac OS software.
-
- 2. Enter MACCLNT.EXE at the DOS prompt to extract the NW Client Installer.
-
- 3. On a Mac OS-based workstation, log in to the server where you extracted the
- NW Client Installer file.
-
- 4. Install the client software by double-clicking the installer icon.
-
-
- NetWare Client for Mac OS 5.11 Installation Guide
-
- NetWare Client for Mac OS gives Mac OS-based workstations unparalleled access
- to Novell NetWare and NetWare Directory Services. NetWare Client for Mac OS
- enables Mac OS users to locate NetWare file and print services in a NetWare
- Directory Services tree. Mac OS users can access NetWare file and print
- services, regardless of whether AppleTalk and NetWare for Macintosh are running
- on the servers on which the services are located.
-
-
- Hardware and Software Requirements
-
- NetWare Client for Mac OS requires the following hardware and software:
-
- * A Mac OS-based workstation with a 68030 or better processor.
-
- * 5 MB of available memory
-
- * System 7.1 or later
-
- * NetWare 4.1
-
- * At least one Mac OS-based workstation with a CD-ROM drive
-
-
- Installing NetWare Client for Mac OS
-
- This document provides the instructions for carrying out these installation
- tasks:
-
- * Installing the NetWare Client for Mac OS software from the CD to
- the Mac OS-based workstation
-
- * Installing MACFILE.NLM to the NetWare server
-
- * Installing the on-line documentation
-
-
- Installing the NetWare Client for Mac OS Software on a Mac OS-based
- Workstation
-
- To install NetWare Client for Mac OS, follow these steps after closing all
- open applications:
-
- 1. Extract the MACCLT.SEA file, by double-clicking on it.
-
- 2. Double-click the NW Client Installer icon.
-
- 3. Click the Install button at the bottom of the NW Client Installer window.
- An alert warns you that the workstation will restart after the installation is
- complete.
-
- 4. Click the Yes button. (To prevent the installation from taking place, click
- the No button.)
-
- 5. When the software has been installed, click the Restart button to restart
- the workstation.
-
-
- Installing MACFILE.NLM on the NetWare Server
-
- NetWare Client for Mac OS includes one NLM, MACFILE.NLM, that you should
- install on the server. When you install MACFILE.NLM, additional support files
- are also installed on the server.
-
- Because you install MACFILE.NLM and the other server components on the SYS
- volume of a server, you must have sufficient rights to copy files to the SYS
- volume.
-
- Note: When you install the server software, the Macintosh name space is
- automatically installed on the SYS volume. If you do not want to install the
- name space on the SYS volume, see "Installing the Macintosh Name Space on a
- Server Volume Other than SYS" in this document.
-
- To install the server components from the Macintosh Client workstation to the
- server, follow these steps:
-
- 1. After the client components have been installed, locate the NetWare
- Directory Services Tree icon in the upper right corner of the workstation
- screen and choose the Login option in the Directory Services menu.
-
- 2. Enter the requested information in the dialog that appears, including your
- name, password, context, and the name of the tree that contains the server
- where you want to install the server components. The Tree and Context
- information might already be entered by default. Select the More Options
- button, if all of the items do not appear.
-
- 3. Once you are logged into the Directory tree, you need to mount a NetWare
- server SYS volume on your workstation desktop so you can
- install the server components. The NetWare Client Utilities Folder is
- installed at the root of the workstation's startup volume.
-
- To mount a volume, open the NetWare Directory Browser application in the
- NetWare Client Utilities Folder on the workstation. Then, locate the volume's
- icon in the Items pane of the NetWare Directory Browser window and double-click
- it.
-
- If you do not see any volumes, make sure you are at the correct context and
- you have the NCP Server and Volume object types selected in the Show Types pane
- of the Browser window.
-
- 4. Once the SYS volume is mounted, locate the SERVER folder contained in the
- Macintosh Client folder, extracted from MACCLT.SEA.
-
- 5. Copy the SERVER folder to the SYS volume of the server.
-
- 6. Go to the server console or use the NetWare Client for Mac OS Remote
- Console utility to complete the server component installation.
-
- If you choose to use the server console, go directly to Step 7. If you
- choose to use the Remote Console utility, you must install and configure
- additional client and server components. To do this, continue reading this
- step.
-
- Remote Console is the Macintosh version of the DOS RCONSOLE utility. Remote
- Console requires RSPX.NLM and REMOTE.NLM to be loaded at the server to
- function. Remote Console is not installed on the Macintosh workstation when you
- perform an Easy Install. To install Remote Console, Double-click the NW Client
- Installer icon. Click the Custom button. Highlight the Remote Console Install
- option in the list of install packages. Click the Install button.
-
- 7. At the server console (or Remote Console window), type the following
- command:
- LOAD INSTALL
-
- 8. Choose the Product Options option in the Installation Options menu.
-
- 9. Choose the Install a Product Not Listed option in the Other Installation
- Actions menu.
-
- 10. Press <F3> and enter the path to where you copied the server files. If
- the SERVER folder was copied to the root of the SYS volume on a NetWare 4.1
- server, the path would be:
-
- SYS:SERVER\INSTALL
-
- 11. From the Install NetWare Client for Mac OS menu, select the Easy Install
- option. The Easy Installation Summary screen appears.
-
- 12. Press <Esc> to close the summary.
-
- 13. Select the Proceed with the Installation option.
-
- 14. Upon completion of the installation, the Other Installation Actions menu
- appears. Press <Esc> twice and choose Yes from the Exit Install menu.
-
- 15. At the server console, type the following command:
- LOAD MACFILE
-
- By default, the Macintosh name space is added only to the SYS volume. The
- Macintosh name space allows Macintosh files to be stored on the volume.
-
- To add the Macintosh name space to other volumes, load the NWCMACC.NLM at the
- server console and choose Select Volumes to Add the Macintosh Name Space from
- the Configuration Options menu. Add the name space to the selected volumes.
-
- When you are finished installing the server software, you can delete the
- Server folder you copied to the server in Step 5, or you can keep that
- folder on the server and use it to install the NetWare Client for Mac OS
- server software on other NetWare servers.
-
-
- Installing the Macintosh Name Space on a Server Volume Other than SYS
-
- When you install the server software, the Macintosh name space is
- automatically installed on the server's SYS volume. If you do not want to
- install the name space on the SYS volume, use the following method to install
- the server software.
-
- 1. Load Install.
-
- 2. Select the Product Options option.
-
- 3. Select the Install a Product not Listed option.
-
- 4. Press <F3> and enter the path to where you copied the server files.
- If the SERVER folder was copied to the root of the SYS volume on a
- NetWare 4.1 server, the path would be:
- SYS:SERVER\INSTALL
-
- 5. Select the Custom Install option.
-
- 6. Select the Select Volumes to Add the Macintosh Name Space option. A list of
- the volumes that currently do not have the Macintosh name space appears. Any
- volume with an x next to it will have the name space added to it. The SYS
- volume is selected by default.
-
- 7. Press <Enter> to deselect the SYS volume. Note: This step does not install
- the Macintosh name space on the SYS volume. It also does not install the client
- software to SYS:/PUBLIC\CLIENT\MAC, because the name space is required to
- install this. You can use the MACCLNT.EXE file. For instructions about using
- this file, go to the SERVER\MACCLNT directory and read the README file.
-
- 8. Press <Esc> and save the changes.
-
- 9. Select the Proceed with the Installation option.
-
- 10. Press <Esc> when the "Unable to create directory
- SYS:Public:Client:Mac" message appears.
-
- 11. Press <Esc> when the "Unable to create directory
- SYS:Public:Client:Mac:English" message appears.
-
- 12. Exit INSTALL.
-
- 13. Load MACFILE.NLM.
-
-
- Installing on Additional Workstations
-
- To install NetWare Client for Mac OS on a workstation that does not have
- access to a network, you must use an installation diskette. "Making an Optional
- Installation Diskette" in this document provides instructions on how to create
- the diskette.
-
- Once you have created the diskette, insert the diskette in the workstation
- disk drive and double-click the NW Client Installer icon.
-
-
- Making an Optional Installation Diskette
-
- To make an installation diskette, copy the NW Client Installer icon to a
- formatted, unlocked high-density diskette. Insert this diskette in the disk
- drive on the workstation where you want to install NetWare Client for MacOS.
- Double-click the NW Client Installer icon to install the software.

- NetWare Client Read Me File
- NetWare Client for Mac OS 5.11
- (C) Copyright 1995-1996 Novell, Inc. All rights reserved worldwide.
-
-
- Welcome to the release of NetWare Client for Mac OS 5.11. This NetWare Client
- Read Me file contains information about component enhancements, known anomalies
- and, when available, work-arounds for these problems. This read me file
- contains two sections: the first section covers NetWare Client for Mac OS
- workstation software, and the second section covers NetWare Client for Mac OS
- server software (NLMs).
-
- If you have any questions or concerns please contact Novell Macintosh Client
- Support at (800) NETWARE within the U.S.; outside of the U.S. please call
- 801-861-5588.
-
-
- CLIENT WORKSTATION SOFTWARE NOTES -
-
-
- • NW Client Installer 5.11
-
- No known problems. If you are using Open Transport, ensure that you are using
- at least version 1.1.
-
-
- • MacIPX 1.3.1
-
- PROBLEM #1: MacIPX may display an error message containing the error code -94
- when trying to use the Ethernet 802.3 frame type with certain Ethernet
- adapters.
-
- SOLUTION: Install AppleTalk version 58 or later on your workstation. To
- obtain AppleTalk version 58 or later, contact the manufacturer of your Ethernet
- adapter. You can also obtain AppleTalk from Apple's Network Software
- Installer, version 1.3 or later.
-
- PROBLEM #2: Some third-party applications use their own IPX protocol stacks,
- and do not use MacIPX. MacIPX may not function properly in their environments,
- depending on how MacIPX is configured.
-
- SOLUTION: Contact the application vendor and request a version of the
- application that works with MacIPX. If none is available, you can configure
- MacIPX to use a network interface setup that is different than the network
- interface setup used by the other IPX protocol stack. For example, if the
- application's IPX protocol stack is using the Ethernet 802.3 frame type, you
- can configure MacIPX to use a different frame type such as 802.2. If this
- solution is impractical in your situation, you can configure MacIPX to use the
- LocalTalk network interface rather than the interface in use by the other IPX
- stack (such as Ethernet). However, this solution requires you to install and
- configure a MacIPX gateway somewhere on your network. Instructions for MacIPX
- gateway installation and configuration are located in the NetWare operating
- system documentation.
-
- PROBLEM #3: Applications using MacIPX cannot locate any services when MacIPX
- is configured to use the AppleTalk interface.
-
- SOLUTION: Ensure that MacIPX is using a valid MacIPX Gateway and that the
- Gateway is running on a NetWare server that will reply to Get Nearest Server
- requests.
-
- PROBLEM #4: MacIPX may not work with some versions of Apple's Power Macintosh
- 9500.
-
- SOLUTION: The Operating System and Open Transport software components found
- on the early releases of the Power Macintosh 9500 are incompatible with MacIPX.
- In the U.S., you can obtain later revisions of this software by ordering an
- "update" CD for the Power Macintosh 9500 through 1-800-SOS-APPLE. For
- customers outside of the U.S., please contact your local Apple sales office.
-
- PROBLEM #5: Applications using MacIPX may experience a loss of connectivity
- when running on Power Macintosh 7200, 7500, 8500, and 9500s using Open
- Transport 1.0.x.
-
- SOLUTION: Install Open Transport 1.1.
-
- PROBLEM #6: MacIPX does not load properly on workstations that use the Mac
- Password utility.
-
- SOLUTION: Remove Mac Password from your system.
-
-
- • NetWare Client 3.0
-
- PROBLEM #1: If the UPGRADE LOW PRIORITY THREADS server parameter is set to
- OFF, and an NLM is loaded which prevents Low Priority Threads from running, (as
- is the case with MACFILE.NLM, under heavy load conditions) then a client may be
- unable to connect to the server and will encounter an alert during
- authentication such as, "Unknown Error -251".
-
- SOLUTION: Issue the following command on the server:
-
- SET UPGRADE LOW PRIORITY THREADS = ON
-
- You may also choose to include this command in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file on the
- server.
-
-
- CHANGES FROM 5.1:
-
- 1) The packet burst protocol is now supported for file reads/writes. This
- should boost file I/O performance.
-
- 2) NetWare Client for Mac OS now supports multiple NDS trees. You will be
- able to authenticate to and to browse multiple DS trees simultaneously.
-
- 3) "NetWare Client" is now a system extension and not a Control Panel. To
- configure, now choose the "Configure..." option in the Novell Login Menu.
-
- 4) The configuration of the client has been reworked to support multiple
- trees and to allow you to browse to locate users and containers.
-
- 5) The "Manage Connections..." option in the Novell Login Menu has changed
- to "Connections...". This now allows you to logout of individual trees or
- servers or to dismount volumes. You can now get information about trees,
- servers, or volumes.
-
- 6) The "Logout" option in the Novell Login Menu has changed to "Logout
- Completely". This choice now logs you out of all Novell servers and trees.
- (Previously it logged you out of DS and broke all DS connections.)
-
- 7) When logging into a tree you can now browse to locate your user object if
- unauthenticated browsing is allowed.
-
-
- • NetWare Directory Browser 1.1
-
- PROBLEM #1: Several beta sites reported a crash while using Apple Guide with
- the NetWare Directory Browser. Apple Guide would crash when attempting to
- display a coach mark around something other than a menu title.
-
- SOLUTION: The cause of this problem has been isolated to Apple Guide version
- 1.2.5 on PowerPC-based systems. If the Apple Guide version 1.2.5 extension is
- replaced with an older (1.2) or newer (1.2.7) version, the problem does not
- occur. Our assumption is that Apple Guide 1.2.5 must have some bad Mixed Mode
- Manager calls. Older versions weren't native (no Mixed Mode Manager calls at
- all), and newer versions must have caught and fixed the bug.
-
- PROBLEM #2: If you install on a 7.1 system you will not be able to drag
- Directory Services Objects to the desktop from the NetWare Directory Browser.
-
- SOLUTION: Upgrade to a later system release or use the "Save to a Folder" or
- "Save to the Desktop" commands from the File menu.
-
-
- CHANGES FROM 5.1:
-
- Multi-Tree Support: The Log Out From Tree and Change to Tree items in the
- File menu are gone because they were needed only because of the previous
- single-tree restriction. Similarly, you are no longer prompted to Login when
- the Browser is launched. If you login to a tree after you have started
- browsing it, you may choose the Refresh Window command from the Browse menu to
- browse the current container again with your current authorization.
-
-
- • NetWare File Access 1.1
-
- PROBLEM #1: File creation times are not preserved when the files are copied
- to NetWare File Access volumes and when operated on by certain applications.
- This causes problems for applications such as installers that require that file
- creation times be preserved.
-
- SOLUTION: NetWare File Access can set a file or directory's creation time
- only if the user is supervisor equivalent. This is due to a problem in the
- NetWare server. To work around the problem, either log on as the server
- administrator or use AppleShare to mount volumes for which you require that
- creation dates be preserved (for example, if you are moving an installer and
- its files to a NetWare server). An update release will contain patches for the
- problem on existing servers and a new NetWare File Access that will take
- advantage of the fixes.
-
- PROBLEM #2: When using QuarkExpress with the Autosave feature enabled, files
- cannot be saved to an NetWare File Access volume more than one time after they
- have been opened.
-
- SOLUTION: Turn off Autosave feature and make saves manually.
-
- PROBLEM #3: Some applications create temporary files in the root directory of
- the volumes on which they are being executed. If you do not have write access
- privileges to the root of that volume the application will not be able to
- create these files.
-
- SOLUTION: You need to be given write access to the root of the volume or use
- AppleShare to mount volumes from which these applications will be run.
-
-
- • NetWare Object Assistant 1.0
-
- No known problems.
-
-
- • NetWare Print Access 1.1
-
- PROBLEM #1: Some PostScript downloading or LaserWriter utilities may not
- recognize or use NetWare Print Queues selected using the NetWare Print Chooser.
- Normally they should respond with a "Printer not found" message.
-
- SOLUTION: Use a utility that communicates with the printer currently selected
- in the Chooser, such as Adobe SendPS. Such utilities generally work with
- NetWare Print Access on the printer or queue most recently selected in the
- NetWare Print Chooser.
-
- PROBLEM #2: Error code -8993 occurs when printing in the background with
- NetWare Print Access using the LaserWriter/PSPrinter 8.x driver.
-
- SOLUTION: This problem is rare, and thought to be a result of the driver
- timing out due to not getting enough processor time. If you experience this
- problem, switch to foreground printing, or try to avoid intensive activity on
- your workstation when background printing is in progress.
-
- PROBLEM #3: When using the NetWare Print Chooser to select
- LaserWriter/PSPrinter 8.1.2 or higher, the following alert may appear when
- Setup is started: "Autosetup failed, reverting to manual setup."
-
- SOLUTION: This alert indicates that the driver is looking for information
- about the target printer's installable options. NetWare Print Access does not
- have this information. Click OK and manually indicate the printer's installed
- options, to the best of your knowledge.
-
- PROBLEM #4: When using the LaserWriter driver versions 8.0, 8.2, or 8.2.2 to
- print, the Macintosh workstation sometimes hangs.
-
- SOLUTION: Some versions of Apple's LaserWriter 8 driver have a bug which
- causes a hang when it tries to download a variation of the Helvetica font. To
- verify that this is the problem, turn background printing off in NetWare Print
- Chooser and print. Watch to see if the Macintosh hangs while displaying the
- message "Creating Screen Font: Helvetica" or "Downloading Helvetica-Oblique".
-
- To work-around this issue:
-
- 1) Choose another print driver. LaserWriter versions 7.x, 8.1.1, and 8.3
- do not suffer from this problem.
- OR
- 2) After selecting the driver in the NetWare Print Chooser, use the "Setup"
- button to select a PPD file for the printer. This allows NetWare Print Access
- to tell the driver that Helvetica is already present on the printer so that it
- isn't downloaded.
- OR
- 3) After selecting the object in the NetWare Print Chooser, check the
- "Assume Standard Fonts" box under the "NetWare Options..." button. This allows
- Netware Print Access to tell the driver that Helvetica is already present on
- the printer so that it isn't downloaded.
-
- PROBLEM #5: When printing in the background, the following message may
- appear:
-
- There is not enough memory to print "<document>" from "<application>" on
- printer "<printer>". Do you want PrintMonitor to adjust its memory size and
- try again?
-
- SOLUTION: Some versions of Apple's PrintMonitor by default allocate too
- little memory to accommodate NetWare Print Access. To correct this problem,
- you can hit the "Adjust Memory Size" button in the above alert; you may be
- required to select this options two or more times successively before you can
- successfully print. Alternatively, you can select the "Cancel Printing" option
- and manually adjust PrintMonitor's memory size. Click on the PrintMonitor
- application in the System:Extensions folder and select "Get Info" from the file
- menu. In the "Memory Requirements" area, set "Preferred size:" to at least
- 120K. Then try printing again.
-
- PROBLEM #6: When printing to a queue or printer object residing on a 4.1 or
- earlier 4.x server, two short (less than 60 characters) print job notification
- messages appear in rapid succession referring to one job. This may happen when
- print notification is turned on and you are printing to a queue (or referenced
- printer object) without being logged into the server where the queue physically
- resides.
-
- SOLUTION:
-
- 1) Turn off notification
- 2) Log into the matching server
- 3) Use a queue or printer object on a 4.11 or later server
-
- PROBLEM #7: Jobs from QuarkExpress, Adobe Photoshop, or other applications
- which have the option of sending the data in binary format will not print
- successfully with a postscript error or images may print with artifacts or
- noise .
-
- SOLUTION:
-
- 1) Many Mac applications that output graphics have the option in the
- application's Page Setup or Print dialog window to send the data in either
- Binary or ASCII format. Choose ASCII format.
- 2) If your printer supports it, have the network administrator set up the
- Printer object to support binary communications over a non-binary
- communications channel. Netware Print Access will then encode the binary data
- properly.
-
- PROBLEM #8: When printing with LaserWriter 8.3.x, to a queue residing on a
- 3.x (non DS) server, which is made available to a Directory Tree via NetSync or
- Bindery Reference Queue mechanism, will occasionally get an error: "The
- LaserWriter 8 Preferences file may be missing or damaged. Please go to your
- Chooser and reselect your printer (Error -8969)."
-
- SOLUTION:
-
- 1) Use a LaserWriter version 8.2.x or earlier
- 2) Print to a queue residing on a Directory Services (4.x) Server.
-
- PROBLEM #9: While Shiva Config control panel version 3.7.3 is installed on a
- 68k Mac, a crash may occur when using the Network Control panel to switch
- between different AppleTalk protocols, such as between LocalTalk and EtherTalk,
- or AppleTalk Remote Access and EtherTalk.
-
- SOLUTION:
-
- 1) Use a Macintosh based on the Power PC processor. This problem does not
- happen using Power PC Macs.
- 2) Remove the Shiva Config control panel from the Control Panels folder.
- 3) Use an updated version of the Shiva Config control panel when available.
-
-
- • NetWare Print Chooser 1.1
-
- PROBLEM #1: If you run NetWare Print Chooser concurrently with Apple's
- Chooser, the two applications may compete for ownership of the print drivers
- and thereby lead to serious problems, including crashes.
-
- SOLUTION: Run only one chooser at a time.
-
- PROBLEM #2: In the case where a NetWare Directory Services print queue object
- has multiple AppleTalk network address attributes with different NBP types--for
- example, the spooler is advertised by more than one ATPS spooler--NetWare Print
- Chooser may not enable all of the appropriate AppleTalk print drivers in the
- driver list.
-
- SOLUTION: Such Directory Services objects may be rare at your site, in which
- case you would seldom encounter this problem. If the situation does arise, you
- will simply be limited in your choice of print drivers.
-
- PROBLEM #3: When you first add a print driver extension to your Extension
- folder, the icon for that driver may not show correctly in NetWare Print
- Chooser.
-
- SOLUTION: NetWare Print Chooser gets its icons from the desktop database.
- Eventually the desktop will get updated and the correct icons will display. If
- you wish to accelerate this process, try opening the Extensions folder on your
- desktop, forcing Finder to acknowledge that icon. The next time you run
- NetWare Print Chooser, it will show the correct icon.
-
- PROBLEM #4: If you log out of the tree while NetWare Print Chooser is still
- running and then proceed to switch drivers and/or setup driver options, you may
- experience problems or even crash.
-
- SOLUTION: The best thing to do is to quit the application before logging out
- of the tree.
-
- PROBLEM #5: With GX installed, NetWare Print Chooser does not allow you to
- select a print driver.
-
- SOLUTION: This version of NetWare Print Chooser does not support GX. You
- must remove GX from your system if you wish to use NetWare print services.
-
-
- CHANGES FROM 5.1:
-
- 1) Added Multi-Tree support.
-
-
- • NetWare UAM 5.1
-
- No known problems.
-
-
- • NetWare Volume Mounter 1.1
-
- PROBLEM #1: Workstations using System 7.1 may find that the NetWare Volume
- Mounter does not stagger the windows, but stacks new windows directly on top of
- old ones.
-
- SOLUTION: There is no solution at this time. To work around this problem
- move the windows off of each other manually.
-
-
- CHANGES FROM 5.1:
-
- 1) Added Multi-Tree support.
-
-
- • Remote Console 1.0
-
- No known problems.
-
-
- • ~NetWare Aliases 1.1
-
- PROBLEM #1: Aliases made to a file or folder on a network volume mounted with
- NetWare Volume Mounter will not resolve correctly in System 7.1.1 if the volume
- is already mounted via AppleShare. Aliases to a volume will resolve correctly
- in all cases.
-
- SOLUTION: Upgrade to System 7.5.
-
-
- • NetWare/IP Macintosh Client 2.1
-
- PROBLEM #1: Preferred DSS and NWIP servers must be configured in the Control
- Panel Settings dialog using the same format. ie, all entries must be entered as
- either IP addresses or names.
-
- SOLUTION: There is no solution at this time.
-
- PROBLEM #2: NetWare/IP may exhibit poor performance when running over MacTCP
- in some circumstances.
-
- SOLUTION: To enhance performance use Open Transport 1.1 or later if your
- Macintosh can use Open Transport.

-
- SERVER SOFTWARE NOTES -
-
-
- • PINSTALL.NLM and NWCMACC.NLM 1.0
-
- PROBLEM #1: There are several ways to change the volume name displayed on the
- workstation when mounting a server volume. One way is through the set commands
- in MACFILE.NLM. (Type "MACFILE HELP" in the NetWare server's system console
- when MACFILE.NLM is loaded for more information.) Another way is through
- AFPCON.NLM when using NetWare for Macintosh. Volume name changes will not
- take effect dynamically. The indiscriminate changing of Macintosh volume names
- with these utilities and with AFPCON can result in unexpected volume names.
- (Last saved wins.)
-
- SOLUTION: There is no solution at this time. To work around this issue,
- remount the volume on the workstation to see the new volume name.
-
- PROBLEM #2: NWCMACC.NLM can incorrectly identify message and client files
- that do not belong to the product. For example NWCMACC will locate the NetWare
- for Macintosh installation directory as a source.
-
- SOLUTION: There is no solution at this time.
-
-
- • MACFILE.NLM 1.01
-
- PROBLEM #1: If a volume is dismounted from the server while MACFILE.NLM is
- rebuilding a desktop database, error messages indicating that MACFILE.NLM
- cannot find files on the volume will be displayed on the console.
-
- SOLUTION: Wait to dismount a volume until rebuilding is complete.
-
- PROBLEM #2: Only a few items at a time are removed at MACFILE.NLM load time
- from a trash can abandoned by a crashed Macintosh.
-
- SOLUTION: Unload and reload MACFILE.NLM again with the empty option. For
- example: LOAD MACFILE EMPTY.
-
- PROBLEM #3: Icons for files on a NetWare volume do not appear in the Finder;
- generic icons are displayed.
-
- SOLUTION: Rebuild the desktop on the client workstation. Before mounting any
- NetWare volumes with the Mac name space, make sure that MACFILE.NLM is loaded
- on the server to which the volumes are attached and that the desktop has been
- reset on the desired NetWare volumes.
-
- PROBLEM #4: An application on a NetWare volume is not added to the desktop
- during rebuild/reset; icons for that application are also not added.
-
- SOLUTION: This may be caused by either of two things:
-
- 1) The 'bundle bit' for the application may not be set.
- The solution is to set the bundle bit, using ResEdit or another Macintosh
- resource editor.
- 2) The resource fork of the application is corrupt.
- File corruption may be due to a variety of reasons; it may be benign or
- possibly hazardous.
- Minor file corruption may be disregarded but serious file corruption may
- indicate the presence of a virus. Severe file corruption may even cause the
- server to crash during rebuild and should be removed from the server. If a file
- is corrupt but, for some reason, you wish to leave it on the server, you may be
- able to prevent problems during rebuilds by clearing the 'bundle bit'.
- MACFILE issues warnings when corrupt files are encountered. You may obtain
- more detailed information about file corruption by doing the following:
-
- 1) Issue the following command at the console:
- SET MACFILE FILELOG=3
- 2) Issue the following command at the console:
- MACFILE RESET DESKTOP ON
- <Volume Name>
- 3) Examine the error messages during RESET, by opening the file
