APPLIES TO


This article was previously published under Q135567

SYMPTOMS

The Novell NetWare Allow.exe tool cannot change the inherited rights mask of a file or folder on a Windows 95-based computer that is using the Microsoft File and Print Sharing for NetWare Networks network component.

CAUSE

The Microsoft File and Print Sharing for NetWare Networks network component does not support inherited rights masks for files or folders.

RESOLUTION

You must set the file access rights in Windows 95. Use the right mouse button to click the folder you want to change, and then click Sharing on the menu that appears.

MORE INFORMATION

Novell NetWare servers support file sharing from the directory and the file level. The Microsoft File and Print Sharing for NetWare Networks network component supports file sharing on a folder-level basis only, not on a file- level basis.
