TECHNICAL BULLETIN
Bulletin #1-259
Date: January 11, 1990
Additional Information for Technical Bulletins #1-255 and #1-256
Technical Bulletins #1-255 and #1-256 outline a limitation that
occurs when the BINDFIX utility and the NetWare 386 v3.0 shell are
used together. The information outlined in those two bulletins
also applies to the MAKEUSER and PCONSOLE utilities. (The issues
described in Technical Bulletins #1-255 and #1-256 could also arise
with independent software applications that manage user creation
and deletion.)
If you are using the NetWare 386 shell and you are using MAKEUSER
to remove users, make sure that you are using the SHELL.CFG
parameter SHOW DOTS=OFF. (The USERDEF utility is potentially
dangerous because USERDEF.EXE calls the MAKEUSER.EXE utility.)
If you use the PCONSOLE utility with the NetWare 386 v3.0 shell,
PCONSOLE will not destroy data; however, PCONSOLE will hang the
workstation under the conditions stated in Technical Bulletin #1-
255.
If you are using any utility in a NetWare 286 environment that has
the ability to remove users, we recommend that you use the NetWare
286 shell when performing those functions, or make sure that the
SHOW DOTS=OFF statement is in your SHELL.CFG file.
