Third Party Software Shares Files on NetWare (97446)
This article was previously published under Q97446
SUMMARY
NetWare has a FLAG function with which you can set file access permissions
to read, write, or share. Some third party software can run on NetWare
with FLAG set to shareable but cannot share files on LAN Manager 2.1.
FLAG is similar in function to MS-NET compatibility mode. The heuristic
reacts differently when you use HPFS386.
Check the value for SRVHEURISTIC 11, which controls the way the server
regulates access to .EXE, .COM and .BAT files when more than one
workstation requests access. Try setting it 0 (always use compatibility
mode).
You can also check heuristic 5, which supports file control block (FCB)
opens. This heuristic is useful only with MS-DOS workstations on the
network. The default is 1 (active).
