Installing AFPS 4.0.3
=====================

To install AFPS 4.0.3: 

  1. Log in to your system as root. 

  2. Download AFPS 4.0.3 from either the SCO web site or using FTP. 

       - to use the web site, go to this web page: 

           http://www.sco.com/support/update/download/release.php?rid=118

       - to use FTP, go to this location: 

	   ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/unixware7/714/other/afps_403/afps403.pkg.Z
           
  3. Download the afps403.pkg.Z file to a directory such as /tmp. After 
     the download is complete, change to the directory containing the 
     afps403.pkg.Z file and run the following to uncompress the file:

        uncompress /tmp/afps403.pkg.Z

  4. If you are currently running an earlier version of AFPS, enter
     the following command to stop AFPS:

	net stop server

  5. Install AFPS 4.0.3 with the following command:

        pkgadd -d /tmp/afps403.pkg

  6. Restart AFPS with the following command:

AFPS 4.0.3 Notes and Limitations
================================ 

   + AFPS 4.0.3 supports the following clients:

       Windows 3.1.1/95/98/98Se/ME and Windows NT4 WorkStation

     If you wish to try to use AFPS 4.0.3 with a later, unsupported version 
     of Windows, it may be helpful to make the configuration change described 
     below.  This change "downgrades" the version of the Windows networking 
     protocols to avoid some problems seen with later versions of Windows.

        1. As root, change directory to /usr/net/servers/lanman.

        2. Using your favorite editor, enter the "lanman.ini" file.

        3. Under the [lmxserver] section add the following line:

               protocol=1

        4. Once the lanman.ini file changes have been saved and you have 
           exited, you will need to stop and restart the AFPS server 
           by doing the following:

              # net stop server; net start server

     See the list of fixed bugs below for info on issues that are
     affected by this parameter.

   + There is a known problem with setting the protocol=1 variable. The 
     Security tab is removed when the Properties window is viewed from
     the Windows client for files on AFPS shares. 
 
     The workaround for this is to use the NET PERMS command from the 
     Unix prompt.
 

Bugs Fixed by AFPS 4.0.3
========================

The following issues have been fixed in AFPS 4.0.3:

 + If a file was created in a share with no extension, 
   the file date would be set to 1 Jan 1970.  (fz527869)
           
 + If a directory had over 500 files in it, the directory listing
   would not display properly.

 + "net version" now works. 
           
 + "net user" and "net user xxx [options]" now work.

 + Problems with AFPS message catalogs have been fixed.

 + Printing from a Windows client to the HP DesignJet 650C plotter would
   result in no print data reaching the printer and an AFPS lmx.srv
   process that consumes all the CPU time. (fz525932)

 + A printer task on the Windows client would hang when submitting a print job
   to an AFPS server configured to "disable uplevel printing".

 + Integration with DocView has been improved.

 + Printing would fail when submitting a print job to a client printer attached
   to a Windows NT or Windows 2000 system.


By adding "protocol=1" in the [lmxserver] section of the 
lanman.ini file and restarting AFPS (as described above), 
the following issues are addressed: 

 + AFPS 4.0.2 did not handle deletions from Notepad properly.
   (fz527581)

 + MS security fix MS04-012 (kb828741), Cumulative Update for Microsoft 
   RPC/DCOM, broke AFPS logon scripts and administration tools.
   (fz529388)

 + AFPS client couldn't copy long filenames onto a share using a batch file 
   or roaming profile mechanism. (fz527669)

 + Accessing a file over a direct UNC from Start->Run without a drive 
   mapped now works. 
           
 + xcopy of a tree structure from a local Windows drive to an AFPS 
   shared drive now works.
