[comp.dcom.lans] NW386 V3.1 RD with TLIST > 7 bug

a48@mindlink.UUCP (Ullrich Fischer) (11/18/90)

I've explored the Netware 386 V3.1 tlist > 8 bug on our newly acquired Netware
386 server.  I created a test directory, copied some files into it, give 7
users some rights to it, deleted the files, used the MSDOS  RD command to
remove the directory. -- No problem.  When  I did the same thing, but gave 8
users rights, the server crashed with a 'ClearPhantom  ...' Abend message.
I then tried giving groups rather than individual users rights and found I was
able to get away with 8 but not 9 groups having rights to the RDed directory.

Has anyone heard of a fix for this bug?  It's not that serious at this time,
but we intend to make considerable use of the workgroup supervisor features of
netware 386 and we could accidentally wind up with more that 8 groups having
rights to a directory.

  Vancouver, BC, CANADA                 which company's views these aren't ;-).
