NetWare 6 Readme
Traditional volumes can be mounted only using NFS version 2.
Even though showmount shows the volumes as exported, they are not
mountable using NFS version 3. You need to explicitly mount the
exported traditional volumes specifying the mount version as 2.
If a Windows workstation user who has write permission to a file created
in a mounted volume by a UNIX user attempts to modify the file, the
ownership of the file will change from the UNIX user to the Windows
workstation user.
UnixWare* 7 NFS client access has issues with recursive delete and C file
compilation. Also, the ownership of a file will change if a nonowner user
with permissions to the file edits it.
NIS Server
No error message is displayed to convey that the NetWare server fails to
become a slave to the UnixWare 7 NIS Master.
To set the password for a user from a UNIX NIS client, use ypset to set
the default domain in the NetWare server.
NIS objects such as nisDomain, nisMap, and nisObject cannot have
names with more than 64 characters.
Unloading nisbind might take several minutes.
If maps are pushed to an NetWare NIS slave server using any map name
(for example, hosts.byname or hosts.byaddr), both maps are updated in
the slave server.
For Default maps, the pound sign (#) is not a valid comment character. If
you don't want to migrate a particular record, remove it from the text file
before migrating.
The bootparam and netgroup maps are not supported in this release.
Using ypcat groups does not show the members of the group.
Migration
After a new user is created and the user's UNIX profile is set, if the group
corresponding to the user's GID exists, the user will be listed as a member
of that group. However, the rights of the group will not flow down to this
user. Remove the user from the members list and add it again.
While migrating domains using the -x option, edit the context parameter
by prefixing each of the dots in the Relative Distinguished Names with a
backslash ( \ ) to distinguish them from eDirectory (NDS) names.
