- Description of CONNFIX patch utility:
-
-
- CONNFIX.EXE is a patch utility that modifies the SERVER.EXE file of
- NetWare 386 v3.0. Some applications use an older NetWare NCP call
- (Function 23 - Subfunction 2) in order to map a user to a connection list.
- This call will return incorrect information if there a two users with names
- which are identical, with the exception of the last character (for example,
- SAMS and SAMR). This may cause certain programs to confuse the two users.
- One application that is known to make this call and exhibit confusion
- when two similar names are used is NETMANAGER by Brightworks. It was reported
- by a customer that mail sent with OFFICE by WordPerfect was sometimes going to
- the wrong user. The customer has been unable to reproduce the problem since
- running CONNFIX. It has not been made certain that CONNFIX actually fixed
- this particular problem, although all indications are that it has.
- Future versions of NetWare 386 will already have this fix implemented.
- This patch will only work for NetWare 386 v3.0.

- Instructions for use:
-
-
- Copy CONNFIX.EXE into the same directory as SERVER.EXE and type CONNFIX.
- The program will patch the file and notify the user when finished.
