SYMPTOMS

Package files from NetWare source directories marked as Shareable are no longer marked Shareable when distributed back to NetWare servers.

CAUSE

If a source directory is created on a NetWare server for a package that will be distributed to NetWare clients and all the files are flagged as Shareable, Systems Management Server will remove the Shareable attribute when it is distributed back to the NetWare server.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server versions 1.1 and 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
