SYMPTOMS

When a Novell NetWare Client computer logs on to a NetWare 4.x server, the login script could fail to map certain drive mappings that are preceded by IF MEMBER OF. This condition will mainly happen when the user is a member of enough NDS groups such that the group list is bigger than 2048 bytes.

CAUSE

A buffer was not initialized to a size large enough to contain the entire group list.

RESOLUTION

Apply the hotfix mentioned below.

STATUS
