OS patches for NetWare 4.0

To install a specific patch or patches, simply place the patch file in the
same directory as the other NLM files (SYS:SYSTEM or DOS partition), and
type "LOAD <patch name>" for each patch you wish to load. Once a patch has
loaded, all changes are in effect until it is unloaded. If an error
message appears, contact Novell Technical Support. As suggested above, you
will probably want to enter the LOAD commands into your AUTOEXEC.NCF file
to insure that the patches are loaded automatically.

Patches. The following files are included in this release:

***IMPORTANT NOTES:********************************************

1. A second documentation file by the name of PM400.DOC is

   required when loading the dynamic patches (nlms).

2. Each of the patches included in this release is listed below.

3. Also included below is a brief discussion of the patch
   concept and installation instructions.

PATCH MANAGER FOR NETWARE v4.00

PM400.NLM
7472 4-30-93 1:18p
This NLM is the patch manager for NetWare v4.00 and must be loaded before
any patches are loaded.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PATCHES

GETLOCFX.NLM
1145 6-15-93 2:12p
NetWare 4.00 servers will respond to GetLocalTarget requests even though
they cannot provide the best route in a STAR or WAN environment. This
would result in a performance hit for a workstation because its packets
would continue to route through the 4.00 server even though a more direct
route was available.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This patch MUST be loaded before the LAN driver is loaded. If the patch is
not loaded before the LAN driver the patch will not fix the problem. Place
the following commands in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file before the LOAD LAN
drivername command.

LOAD PM400
LOAD GETLOCFX

BMSTRFx.NLM
1128 6-14-93 4:43p
When using NetWare 4.0 and the IBM LAN cards the file server will hang as
soon as a user attempts to log in. This is due to a problem with NCP 22 51
and bus master lan drivers, and physical vs. logical memory addresses.

***************************************************************
DYNAMIC PATCH INSTALLATION AND INFORMATION:
***************************************************************

Each of the dynamic patches listed above are intended for NetWare v4.00.
The dynamic patches are loaded at the file server console as NetWare
Loadable Modules and require PM400.NLM v1.00 to be loaded.

It is recommended that the command "LOAD <patch name>" be placed in the
server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file to ensure that the patch is always in effect
when the server is initially brought up.

Since they are NLM's, the patches can be loaded and unloaded without ever
having to bring the server down. Once loaded, the Operating System is
patched and ready to go.

Unloading the patches will restore the Operating System to its original
"un-patched" state.
