- README FOR BINDFIX.EXE v3.53
- This README file of BNDFX3.ZIP accompanies BINDFIX.EXE v3.53 for
- NetWare v3.11. The following files are included for this revision:
-
- BINDFIX.EXE 74,251 6-17-92 11:32p
- BNDFX3.DOC (this file)
-
-
- Purpose:
-
- 1) This version of BINDFIX.EXE fixes a problem found when defining a user
- as a group member. The user would be added to the list of members in
- the Group member list in SYSCON, but when viewing the same information
- from the GROUPS BELONGED TO option, the group name would not appear in
- the list. If the system administrator tries to insert the group from
- the GROUPS BELONGED TO, an error message "AddBinderyObjecttoSet
- returned error 233" would appear (indicating that the member already
- exists). If an attempt is made from the group side to delete the user
- from the group member list, the error "DeleteBinderyObjectFromSet
- returned error 234" appears (indicating that the member doesn't exist).
-
- BINDFIX v3.52 that ships with NetWare 3.11 would not fix this problem.
- BINDFIX does check links between users and groups for consistency but
- due to a programming issue, would only check the first 32 members of a
- group for consistency. BINDFIX v3.53 checks all members of the group
- for consistency.
-
- 2) This version of BINDFIX has been compiled using the large memory model.
- It addresses the problem of BINDFIX running out of memory when checking
- for duplicate OBJECTS or duplicate PROPERTIES.
-
- 3) The previous fix (the large memory model) had an erroneous library linked
- in. This version of Bindfix (3.53) has the correct library linked in.
-
- To install this version of BINDFIX.EXE:
-
- 1) Log in to the server as supervisor and CD to the SYSTEM directory.
-
- 2) Rename the BINDFIX.EXE that is currently there to BINDFIX.OLD.
-
- A) In order to rename the file you will need to flag the file
- SRW. (example: FLAG BINDFIX.EXE SRW then REN BINDFIX.EXE *.OLD)
-
- 3) Now copy the BINDFIX.EXE supplied with this ZIP file to the SYSTEM
- directory and flag it Read Only. (example: FLAG BINDFIX.EXE RO)
-
-
- You are now ready to run the new version of BINDFIX. Type BINDFIX at the
- command line prompt and press the return key.
