== 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 SRVLOC.SYS fixes the following issues seen with the 4.9 SP2
code (items new since 49psp2_srvloc_3.exe are marked with an asterisk):

1. SLPINFO.EXE shows "SLP Version: 1.0" regardless of SLP version mode.
(375339)

2. Client adds a character at the end of the name when sending SLP Attribute
request. (378704)

3. Workstation fails to multicast when multiple/virtual adapters are present.
(Under Investigation.) (376780)
 
4. The Client ignores SLP directory agents specified by DNS name. See TID
10094378. (381089, 389933)

5. DA advertisement frames are not recognized. See TID 10095893. (388623)

6. NWDHCP and SRVLOC need to account for option 85 being string versus byte
format. See TID 10095894. (355032)

7. Novell Client does not send a srvreq for service:directory-agent as mandated
by RFC2608. See TID 10095884. (395252)

8. Novell Client does not multicast to SLPv2 address 239.255.255.253. See TID
10095889. (395970)

9. The overlay client sees only IPX-enabled trees at login. This defect was
caused by changes made to #3 above. That defect is under investigation.
(393196)

(397359)
