[comp.sys.novell] system login script not executed....

edonk@nki.nl (06/24/91)

I have a very simple but hard to solve problem with netware 3.10 on a model 80
server.

Although I installed a number of commands in the system login script,
these commands are not executed when I log onto this server. The commands
are being executed, however, when I log on for a second time without logging
out.

Did anyone else experience this problem?

Thanks in advance.

If you have upgraded to a newer version of Netware, be sure that you have 
replaced ALL of the login.exe files with the new version. The correct 
version for 3.1 is:
      LOGIN.EXE    size: 58141      date: 6/9/89

make sure you do not have any old versions laying around (esp. \login)

This sounds suspiciously like a familiar problem over here having to do with
multiple versions of LOGIN.EXE on our campus internet.  When I boot my
workstation, unless I specify which server it should connect to, it may default
to any of a number of servers on our backbone.  When I then log in, I run the
default servers copy of LOGIN.  The problem occurs when I run a 2.X LOGIN to
get to a 3.X server: the login script will not run.  When you log in again, you
are running the 3.X LOGIN instead, and all functions properly.

Suggestions (if this is in fact the case) -- 
1) specify a preferred server when you run NETx (command line would be 
	NETx /ps=servername)
2) put the same copy of LOGIN.EXE on all servers on your internet (preferrably
	one that works :)

Good luck!
