Network apps. not working under NSS - trustees, rights, permissions?
 

We have recently installed and set-up Novell OES/SLES w/NSS (eDirectory and iManager).

I have several Networked Apps. all were working correctly on RHEL.
After build, I moved apps. over to OES under similiar drive structure. After initial drive mapping change on the workstation, the app. advised that Novell settings had been configuired. Rebooted workstation, as prompted. App. seems to run, but no changes, additions, deletions, etc. are saving. The app. seems to duplicate the data location on the server which I believe is what is causing the problem.

The Linux permissions are wide open, and I have set the Trustee and inherited rights on Novell. What am I missing?

I did call the vendor tech support dept. and they advised that it is a Novell issue. This is probably true b/c I am having problems with other networked apps.

Please HELP!

Thanks in advance.

Novell Bug?
 

On Oct. 11th, 2005, I received the follow message from Novell Tech Support...

I (Novell Tech Guy) believe we (Novell) have found the root cause of your networking application
problem. Under some circumstances, the NCP server was failing to enforce
case-insensitivity during the creation of directories. After finding
this bug and looking into the known behavior of your application, we are
pretty sure this is the root cause.

We (Novell) expect to have this bug fixed tomorrow, and the fix will be released
with SP2 for OES. We are also investigating the possibility of
publishing an SP1-based patch for this problem. I believe this will
happen within the next few days.

Could it be, could it be?
