Two Mac OSX 10.4 users have problems with copying certain files to our CIFS
volumes.

NW65sp4a servers - clustered.

Problem seems to be with .pdf files and .indd files. If we email the files
to a PC, they copy fine - at least with the Novell Client.

The Macs almost get done, then throw an "Unexpected Error Code -50"

My testing with SLES9 and NLD10 - no problems for the same files. Also no
problems for a Windows PC that did not have the Novell Client - using CIFS.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jim

Hi,

We have a PC with both the Novell & Windows client installed and when they
try and access a NW6.5 server with CIFS enabled via a UNC path it fails,
mapped drives are fine. When I remove the MS client it all starts working
again. Unfortunately they need the Ms client for an application on samba
server.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Matt

Hi

We're needing to troubleshoot our file opening from MAC workstations to
netware based volumes.

Scenario:

Mac based worstations PowerPC G5 3GB ram OSX 10.4.8

Netware 6.5 Sp 5 with Cluster services 1.6.

xserve G5 OSX 10.3.9 servers with 750 GB of disk capacity.

Issue: when we transfer a file from the netware based volume to the xserve
server all runs fine. Our problems begin when a final user wants to open a
file (i.e. a photoshop one) from the netware based volume. Volume
disconnects, the file opening is very long, etc.

ideas?

Tim

Thanks for your help,but we're using AFPTCP access with our MACs already.
Now we're interested in know which users are logged in using this protocol.
This is why I've asked about a command or option like CIFS CONN that shows
users accessing with that protocol.

regards

Andrew,

it's already installed. I have no idea what's wrong.

To configure AFP you need to setup several items:

1. Edit sys:\etc\ctxs.cfg adding the contexts you want users to log in
contextlessly. One context per line.
2. Edit the sys:\system\afpstrt.ncf and add CLEARTEXT on the line after
the LOAD AFPTCP. This is temporary as with this setting the NDS
password will get copied into the simple password.
3. from the system console do AFPSTOP then AFPSTRT

Test from a MAC.
Open-apple-k enter the server IP or DNS name, login ,choose volume you
want to mount.

I have a couple MAC users running OS X 10.4.8 and Microsoft Office for MAC
2004 that get the following error message when saving Excel files:

"Your changes could not be saved to 'SlottingSchedule2006.xls', but were
saved to a temporary document named '3B5B8000'. Close the existing document
and save it under a new name."

The server is running Netware 6.5 SP5 with post patches applied. I have
tried the latest AFPTCP.nlm from SP6, but that does not fix the issue
either. The only version that works is from NW 6.0 (v 1.01.18), but this
creates another problem with files/folders disappearing in the finder.

Has anyone else seen this before? Any help would be appreciated. Any
further information needed, please let me know.

Thanks
