[mod.computers.vax] SYS$SHARE:SMBSRVSHR.EXE problems, pass 2

carl@CITHEX.CALTECH.EDU.UUCP (02/02/87)

A while ago, there was a note in this teleconference pointing out that the file
SMBSRVSHR.EXE ends up in SYS$SYSTEM: instead of SYS$SHARE: in the VMS 4.5 (or
was it 4.4?) installation.  I think I've found a good reason:  I just tried to
link a symbiont with the image in question sitting in SYS$SHARE:.  I got the
error message:

%LINK-I-DATMISMCH, createion of 3-SEP-1986 06:09 in shareable image -
	SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB]SMBSRVSHR.EXE;2
	differs from date of 22-MAR-1986 17:54 in shareable image library -
	SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB]IMAGELIB.OLB;1

from the linker.  Using the old version of SMBSRVSHR.EXE, which I fortunately
had not deleted yet, yields no such complaint.  Since we haven't yet installed
the device to be served by the symbiont, I haven't yet gotten around to trying

either of the images produced, but I will report on the results when I do so.
Meanwhile, any comments?

Using the new version is the correct thing to do. What you need to do is
reinsert the smbsrvshr.exe into imagelib.olb so that the dates match. This
only comes up when you link to the SMB$ or PSM$ code. Just type

	$ libr/share sys$share:imagelib sys$share:smbsrvshr.exe
