README FOR SYSCON.EXE This README file accompanies SYSCON.EXE v3.66. The following files are included for this revision: SYSCON.EXE v3.66 280,849 6-10-91 5:25p PURPOSE: SYSCON v.3.66 is intended for NetWare 386 v3.x and NetWare 286 v2.x. This new SYSCON fixes a problem of data and directories being deleted. This occurs when accessing "Trustee Directory Assignments" under "User Information" in the SYSCON utility. If an attempt is made to add rights to a user for a specific directory, and that directory pathname is entered incorrectly with a forward slash following the colon after the volume name (i.e. SERVER/SYS:/PUBLIC/DOS), all data in that directory is lost. This fix will be incorporated in future releases of NetWare (after v3.11a and v2.2a). To install this utility: 1) Flag SYSCON.EXE as SRW (Sharable Read Write) in the PUBLIC directory. 2) Rename SYSCON.EXE to SYSCON.old in the PUBLIC directory for backup purposes. 3) Copy SYSCON.EXE to the PUBLIC directory on your system. 4) Flag the new copy of SYSCON.EXE back to SRO (Sharable Read-Only). ***************************************************************** DISCLAIMER Novell, Inc. makes no representations or warranties with respect to any NetWare software, and specifically disclaims any express or implied warranties of merchantability, title, or fitness for a particular purpose.
