The binary file 'SNclient' included in the patch reflects the fix. (Rev - 01) changes made to snlogin util command to fix connection drop problem. ncget/ncput commands were fixed to handle long file/path names > 40 characters. (Rev - 02) Bugid #1244057 There are two separate bytes that defines a connection id. If a NetWare server has user license <= 250, only the first byte is used. If the server has a 1000 user license, it needs both bytes for identifying a connection. LAN Client has a bug that resets the high byte of the connection id to 0xff instead of using the value return by the server. Therefore, any further communication to the server for that session is denied by the server because the connection id is invalid. (Rev - 01) ESC 503970 - Lan Client loses remote mounted volume in 15 - 60 mins ESC 503676 (Bug #1229064) - when logs in as root or user one can not keep connection up Did a snlogin and could not get a mount sometimes within few seconds if one does get a mount up sometime period 5min to 2hrs he looses the connection ESC 503534 (Bug #1227972) - ncget unable to copy a file with an ablolute path of greater than 40 characters.
