ISSUE: 

Changing a password on the 3.1x server did not result in the password
expiration date getting synchronized to the 4.10 server and thus it didn't make
it to any of the other 3.1x servers either.

 Failures in password synchronization on 3.1x servers.   Password
synchronization would fail if NetSync3 was loaded and used a connection where
the LogKey information was still set.  We now free that data (if it exists)
when NetSync3 loads. 

 Cleaning up a users mail directory on the 4.10 server after the user had been
deleted did not always work.  The current working directory of the thread group
was sometimes getting changed out from under us by another thread, causing the
deletion of files and the removal of the directory to fail.  We now use full
path/file names in a deletion.

 Fixed a problem where login scripts on the 3.1x server were not getting
deleted when the "Login Script" attribute was deleted on the 4.1 server.

 NetSync4 was abending when it tried to use some data that NDS was suppose to
give to us but didn't. We now check to make sure the data is there before we
use it.  Mark fixed the related problem in NDS so that it gives us the data
that it should have.

Installation Instructions:

NOTE:  Always make a backup of applicable files before applying new fixes.

 1)  On NetWare 4.1 servers, flag NETSYNC4.NLM contained in the SYSTEM
directory normal or sharable, read/write.

      FLAG NETSYNC4.NLM  N  -or-  FLAG NETSYNC4.NLM S RW

 2) On NetWare 3.x servers, flag NETSYNC3.NLM and REMAPID.NLM contained in the
SYSTEM directory, normal or sharable, read/write.

      FLAG NETSYNC3.NLM  N  -or-  FLAG NETSYNC3.NLM S RW
      FLAG REMAPID.NLM  N  -or-  FLAG REMAPID.NLM S RW

 3)  On 4.1 servers, rename NETSYNC4.NLM contained in the SYSTEM directory to
NETSYNC4.ORG.   On 3.x servers, rename NETSYNC3.NLM and REMAPID.NLM contained
in the SYSTEM directory to NETSYNC3.ORG and REMAPID.ORG respectively. This is
for backup purposes.

 4)  On NetWare 4.1 servers, copy NETSYNC4.NLM provided with this update into
the SYSTEM directory.  Flag  NETSYNC4.NLM as sharable, read only.

      FLAG NETSYNC4.NLM S RO

 5)  On NetWard 3.x servers, copy NETSYNC3.NLM and REMAPID.NLM provided with
this update into the SYSTEM directory..  Flag NETSYNC3.NLM and REMAPID.NLM
sharable, read only. 
     
      FLAG NETSYNC3.NLM S RO
      FLAG REMAPID.NLM S RO

 6)  To activate the new NLM's, on the 4.1 servers, unload NETSYNC4.NLM.   This
should in turn unload the nlm's on the 3.x servers.

 7)  To avoid memory table corruption, down and restart all 4.1 and 3.x servers
that are associated with NETSYNC.
