ISSUE: 

Problems resolved:

1. After installing the NetWare 5 Support Pack 3 on some NSS Server
configurations, the NSS volumes disappear after rebooting the server. If this
occurs, the NSS volumes will need to be recreated and the data restored from
backup.

2. A server communications issue. One of the symptoms is that the DSREPAIR.NLM
program appears to be hung, while waiting to release the local database.

3. Changed the BACKOUT.IPS script file so that the NetWare 5 Support Pack 3a
can be uninstalled.
