ABSTRACT:

This update contains version 4.89c of DS.NLM  and version 4.32 of

DSREPAIR.NLM for NetWare version 4.10.   If upgrading  4.0x

ensure a smooth upgrade.  If upgrading from NetWare version 3.1x,

you still will benefit by applying the new DS.NLM prior to

upgrading.  This file may be updated occasionally as new versions

of DS.NLM are released.  As new DS.NLM 's are released the naming

format will be 41NDSx, where x denotes  the revision of the patch

ISSUE

Servers running NetWare version 4.10  should be running the

latest DS.NLM,  currently at version 4.89c. 

DSRepair version 4.32 should be used on all NetWare version 4.1

servers and supercedes any previous versions.



Mixed versions of Netware 4.10 Directory Services (DS.NLM)

interoperate completely, but it is best to upgrade all Netware

4.10 servers to the same version to insure consistency and easier

future maintaince.



**** DS.NLM ****



- "Abend: Page Fault Processor Exception"  -  DS abending on an

error path that left a pointer uninitialized in DSAChangePassword

when calling AuditDSEntry this uninitialized pointer gets used.



- Fixed the Schema Skulker so it would send definitions that

wound up being larger than 4096 bytes on the wire. 



**** DSRepair.NLM ****



- Added support for ds 489 to run remote id table repair.

- Display the number of objects and values for each replica.

- Delete  duplicate sync up to for the same replica number.

- Fixes schema sync up to and purge attribute.

-Fix trustee check on deleted files and objects.

-Added new function in advanced options to check for volume and

volume object repair with trustee check.  Also make sure volume

object is of object class volume.

- Repair network addresses now fixes ipx address in replica

property.

- Network address property is deleted if it isgreater than 60

days old.

- Synchronization status report would print warning for not

having skulked in the past 12 hours even though it had.

- Fixed security equivalence/equivalent to me synchronization.

- Changed view/edit log file so that it cannot be edited.This is

because if the file is edited, you cannot exit dsrepair if

unloaded from the command line.

- Added security login to Replica Ring Editor.

- Unattended full repair would hang after pressing alt-f10 to

exit.

- Report synchronization status field 'all servers synchronized

up to time' message for replica synchronization status would

always dispay 'warning' becauseit thought that the time was >

12 hours old.

- 'Destroy replica' was changed to change the partition root  to

an external reference if it is not required.

- Trustee check ends the search when a trustee with the value of

zero is found, otherwise unused trustee entries are checked for

validity.

- New algorithym for schema sync-up-to repair which reads the

replica ring of a root relica to determine if'schema replica

numbers' are active or inactive. 

- Also fix up updating of schema repairs.

- Only delete the network-address property on user class objects.

- Report total number of ext-refs, and number of extrefs not

backlinked.

- New option to view the log file before saving the dib.

- Changed minimum time to save the '.OLD' copy of the dib from 72

hours to 70 hours.

- Check host resource name for the valid volume name when

checking trustees on a volume.

- Optional class definition was being purged as an illegal

operational class because the temporary rulesbuffer had not been

copied.  Also illegal id's in the optional rules were not being

removed.

- Removed error messages for 'illegalcreation/modification time'

because the new creation/modification in the future time report

covers these errors.

- Don't report that the file is read-only if it can not be opened

for read-only operation since edit does not allow writes anymore.

- Added a new global schema menu item to declare a new epoch for

schema.

- Added '/n #days' command line switch allows specification of

the number of days old a user object net-address property can be

before it is deleted.

- New feature to check the base class of an alias to see that it

matches the aliased object which it refers to.  If not, the class

of the alias is updated.



4.32

- Repair replica now checks the subref flag and clears it if it

is not required to be set.

- Fixed various spelling and punctuation in help messages.

- Report old version of DS was found when performing remote

synchronzation instead of error 683.

- Fix TTS abend due to improperly maintained status flag.

Installation Instructions:

For NetWare 4.10 servers:



** NOTE **   Always make a backup copy of original files.



1.  Log into the network as ADMIN or a user with rights to  the

SYS:SYSTEM of the  file server. Locate the files

SYS:\SYSTEM\DS.NLM and SYS:\SYSTEM\DSREPAIR.NLM.  (Files may be

flagged Sharable Read-Only).  Rename existing files with .OLD

extension.

2.  Copy the files provided in this update to the SYS:SYSTEM

directory of the NetWare 4.1 file server.

3.  At the file server console of the server being upgraded  (or

using RCONSOLE) toggle to the system console screen.

4.  At the system console screen enter the command "SET DSTRACE =

*." and press <Enter>  to reload the Directory Services

(DS.NLM 4.89c) without downing the server.

5.  To confirm that the DS.NLM 4.89c is loaded, at the system

console screen type MODULES.  Scroll through the modules screens

and find DS.NLM.  The following information should appear:

   DS.NLM

       NetWare 4.1 Directory Services (PTF 951012)

       Version 4.89c   November 1, 1995

       Copyright 1993-1995 Novell, Inc.  All rights reserved.

6.  Repeat the process for each 4.10 server in the network  which

may be running the older versions.



=================================================================

=========================



If installing from a staging server:



Copy the new DS.NLM  to the NW410/SYSTEM/PREINST subdirectory. 

Copy the new DSREPAIR.NLM  to the NW410/SYSTEM subdirectory.



=================================================================

=========================



For Upgrading NetWare 4.0x servers:



PLEASE REFER TO 4X241.EXE for proper upgrade procedures.



1.  Copy the new DS.NLM into the existing SYS:SYSTEM subdirectory

on the 4.0x server.  Because DS is linked into SERVER.EXE in

NetWare 4.0x, the new DS.NLM will not effect operation on NetWare

4.0x servers.

2.  When upgrading a 4.0x server to NetWare 4.10, the install

program runs the "Preliminary file copy".  At this time the

DS.NLM contained on the cd-rom would normally be copied to the

file server.  Install will detect a newer version already present

and  will display the file name and ask "over write newer

version?"  Answer "NO" and continue with the installation.

3.  Copy the DSRepair.NLM 4.31 to the 4.0x server ONLY AFTER the

NetWare 4.0x server is upgraded to NetWare 4.1.



=================================================================

=========================



For Upgrading NetWare 3.1x servers:



1.   Copy the new DS.NLM and DSRepair.NLM into the existing

SYS:SYSTEM subdirectory on the 3.1x server.

2.   When the NetWare 4.10 install program runs the "Preliminary

file copy"  the DS.NLM and DSRepair.NLM contained on the cd-rom

would normally be copied to the file server. Install will detect

a newer version is already present it will display the file name

and ask "over write newer version?"  Answer "NO" and continue

with the installation.

3.   When DS.NLM  loads and executes it will be the new version.
