Usually seen when there are a number of connections to a NB file service using proxy authentication. (from 105586-18) 4130955 Security problem with http server allowed for overwriting files. 4130934 Security problem with http server allowed for root access to machine. 4130570 Security problem with http server allowed denial of service attacks. (from 105586-17) 4108046 Included new utility, tnatrck, which will attempt to re-attach lost connections in the TAS shadow file to the corresponding Unix file/directory. 4124494 The TAS file servers (ATfile, LMfile, and NWfile) have been enhanced to detect and prevent (symbolic or hard) link attacks on the TAS shadow files and directories. 4137026 When using MS Word 5.1a from a MAC OS System 7.1 system, opening or editing a file would cause all text beyond the insertion point to turn into garbage. 4137028 Unable to map a volume shared by a Novell 32 bit client, using proxy authentication and user maps. 4137029 Using MS Project 4 or later, when a second user opens a file, neither user is able to save to file. (from 105586-01) 4100732 Under heavy stress, TAS is generating 'bad file number' error 4102023 Clients are being disconnected from AppleTalk realm when opening files. 4108033 When using proxy the LANMAN2.1 dialect could not be selected. 4108036 After running for a time LMfile connections using proxy fail because LMfile can no longer talk to NBname through the ns_serverfifo. 4108039 When using proxy if the client does not drop the connection between login attempts the second login fails. This patch fixes this problem by always keeping a connection to the proxy server. The user should be aware of this if there is a user limit on their proxy server. 4108040 Problems trying to save files with long names from Office 95 (and 97) apps on TAS NB file service volumes. 4108048 Memory leak in the TotalNET password file look up function was considerably increasing the size of the file service processes (NWfile, ATfile, LMfile), especially if the number of entries in the TotalNET password file was large. 4108204 Attempts to run the TUNTAS terminal emulator from a Windows 95 client off a network drive mapped to a TAS NB file service volume fail. The following error message is displayed and the drive disconnected: This program has performed an illegal operation. 4108206 Using Kanji shift-jis could not create files in subdirectories using MicroSoft Office 4108208 Could not share executables even when permissions set to read-only. 4108209 Large directory transfers from mac to AT volume failed when updating icon information. 4108213 Unexpected disconnect when using a large number of volumes with mapfiles and atalk-text-conv on. 4108221 When using freespace & disksize directives needed to show actual values if lower than directives. 4108222 Couldn't open read-only files. 4108224 When the number of mapfile entries times the number of volumes was greater than 51 user gets unexpected disconnect. 4108226 When a PC Maclan client attempted to connect to a TAS MAC server the client would have an exception fault. 4108228 When trying to copy a file into a subdirectory of an attach point that the user does not have write access to ATfile would core dump. 4108231 Memory leak in ATfile. The memory used up by a directory cache entry was not being freed before the entry was being reused. 4108233 Cannot copy over an existing file on an AT mounted directory. 4108235 AT realm file service cannot delete/create folder after emptying the trash can that contains deleted folder from the mapped volume. It gives an errors message saying "you cannot move 'folder' to the trash, because it cannot be found" 4108236 If a UNIX directory contains dangling symbolic links, or other entries on which stat() by the ATfile process fails, duplicate file names show up in the folder listing on the MAC clients.
