NOVELL TECHNICAL INFORMATION DOCUMENT
TITLE: NetWare for Macintosh 3.12 AFP Patch
DOCUMENT ID: TID350040
DOCUMENT REVISION: A
DATE: 10MAY94
ALERT STATUS: Yellow
INFORMATION TYPE: Symptom Solution
README FOR: AFPFX8.EXE
NOVELL PRODUCT and VERSION:
NetWare for Macintosh 3.12
ABSTRACT:
This patch should only be used with NetWare for Macintosh 3.12. It addresses
two problems with AFP v3.12a: 1) Certain combinations of volume names lead to
mounting the wrong volume, failure to mount a volume, or ABENDs, and 2) Users
with expired passwords could not login using the NetWare UAM. They are
disconnected, and sometimes the file server malfunctions.

SYMPTOM
Certain combinations of volume names lead to mounting the wrong volume,
failure to mount a volume, or ABENDs.
SYMPTOM
Users with expired passwords cannot login using NetWare encrypted
passwords. They receive the following error message:
MESSAGE
Error -1072 occurred while trying to login: session has been closed
by server.
SYMPTOM
As soon as any Macintosh user tries to login, file server utilization
goes up to 50 to 65 percent and the same error message is returned.
SYMPTOM
The user names show up as logged in, but cannot be deleted in MONITOR
under Connection Information.
SYMPTOM
After three or four users login and receive the -1072 error, the next
user who tries to login with encrypted passwords will have their
Macintosh workstation hang.
SYMPTOM
If you try to LOAD MONITOR after a user receives the -1072 error, the
file server may ABEND.
SYMPTOM
If you try to UNLOAD AFP, the file server appears to hang.
CAUSE
To resolve a problem with some third-party products, AFP.NLM was changed
to try to match volume names as closely as possible. This caused an
anomaly that may surface in the above listed ways.
SOLUTION
Apply the AFP.NLM v3.12a patch to v3.12c.
