Volume ID
You might get pervasive errors in a clustered AFP environment when the
volume ID is set to higher than 32. To eliminate these errors, use ConsoleOne
to edit the cluster AFP/TCP volume resource and change the volume ID to 32
or lower. Remember to make the value you choose unique from other volume
IDs.
Windows / CIFS Issues
Problem with Microsoft Patch
Microsoft recently released a patch to its Windows NT 4.0 RPC service to
address a vulnerability to Denial-of-Service attacks. Although the CIFS
Import Users functionality does not cause or participate in any denial of
service attacks, the patch does change the Window NT 4.0 RPC interface
which, in turn, affects the CIFS Import Users functionality.
The interface changes are in the process of being tested, and we will release a
patch to correct this problem soon after NetWare 6 ships.
Workstations Might Not Be Able to Access a Windows 2000 Primary
Domain Controller
If the Primary Domain Controller (PDC) is a Windows 2000 server, Windows
workstations might not be able to access the CIFS server. To fix this, complete
the following steps:
1 Specify the following parameter in SYS:\ETC\CIFS.CFG:
-PDC PDC_name IP_address
For example:
PDC ONENET 130.57.66.134
2 Enter CIFSSTOP and then CIFSSTRT.
PDC and CIFS on Different Subnets
If the PDC and CIFS servers are on different subnets, the -PDCNAME option
(which uses DNS resolution) might not work. Use the -PDC option instead.
