NEXTSTEP 3.3 Netware Q&A Creation Date: July 20, 1998 Keywords: NeXTSTEP Disclaimer This document pertains to the NeXTSTEP operating system, which is no longer a supported product of Apple Computer. This information is provided only as a convenience to our customers who have not yet upgraded their systems, and may not apply to OPENSTEP, WebObjects, or any other product of Apple Enterprise Software. Some questions in this Q&A document may not apply to version 3.3 or to any given specific version of NeXTSTEP. Q:When connected to NetWare I try to transfer files larger than a few bytes in size, the attempt fails and a panel says I am no longer logged into the Netware server. What is going on? A:There is a bug in NeXTSTEP version 3.3 where if the Netware v3.12 server is using 802.3 frames you will not be able to transfer files over a few bytes in size. The fix is to have the Netware server use a framing type other then 802.3. NeXTSTEP supports frame types: ethernet_ii, ethernet_snap, and ethernet_802.2. There is nothing you will need to change in NeXTSTEP. Q:After Ugrading from 3.2 to 3.3 I see all the NetWare file servers available. I authenticate on one of the file servers, but can not see any of the directories or files on that server. The only directory listed is "SYS". What is going on? A:The upgrade failed to update the file "/usr/lib/kern_loader/nuc/nuc_reloc". As "root" you'll need to copy the file off the NEXTSTEP 3.3 CDROM. With your NEXTSTEP 3.3 CDROM mounted, you can do so with the command: ditto /NEXTSTEP_3.3/usr/lib/kern_loader/nuc/nuc_reloc /usr/lib/kern_loader/nuc
