INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

== PRE-INSTALLATION ==

1. This patch is designed to update the Novell Client v4.9 SP2 for Windows
NT/2000/XP. Be sure to install only on this version of the client.

== PATCH INSTALLATION ==

1. Expand the self-extracting file 49psp2_lgncx_4.exe (this file) to a
temporary folder.
2. Open the folder.
3. (recommended, but optional) Rename the existing LgnCxW32.dll (with a .old
extension, for example) in the <System_Root>\System32\netware folder.
4. Right-Click on _49psp2_lgncx_4.inf and then click on INSTALL.
5. You will be prompted to reboot. This reboot is required to complete the
installation.

Another method to install is to manually copy and replace the existing
LgnCxW32.dll in directory listed in Step 3, above.

== OVERLAYING THE 4.9 SP2 INSTALLATION SET ==

The files in this package can also be overlaid on top of a Novell Client 4.9
SP2 installation set so that when SETUPNW.EXE is run to install the Novell
client you will be installing the core 4.9 SP2 client and the updates contained
in this package in one operation.

To update the installation set with the file in this patch set, extract this
package to a temporary location, then copy the resultant directory structure to
over the top of the i386 folder in your "Novell Client 4.9 SP2" installation.

ISSUE: 

This version of LgnCxW32.dll fixes the following issue seen with the 4.9 SP2
code (new item marked with an asterisk):

1. LDAP contextless login is taking 4 or 5 seconds to return to the GINA after
the user name is entered. See TID 10093380. (375681)

2. Contextless Login "Connection Timeout" does not timeout when the LDAP server
does not respond. GINA hangs with the hour glass. See TID 10095344. (100368509)
3. When LDAP Treeless Login is enabled, the system crashes. (395068) 

4. Contextless login fails if a context in the context search scope is invalid
or unavailable. See TID 10096239. (400104) 

*5. LDAP contextless login hangs when "prefer referrals" is set on the server.
See TID 10096411. (10558)
