abstract

This patch addresses the issue of INTRUDER DETECTION/LOCKOUT abending a v2.2 NetWare file server. If DETECT INTRUDERS is set to YES and a user logging in to the file server hits the INCORRECT LOGIN ATTEMPTS number, the file server could ABEND with a General Protection Interrupt (GPI).

installation

Installation:
Patching the Operating System:

NOTE* DEDOS.OBJ Dedicated Operating System
        NONDEDOS.OBJ Non-Dedicated Operating System

1) Patch the DEDOS.OBJ or NONDEDOS.OBJ files and relink the operating system. It is best to perform the following steps either on a network drive or a local hard drive.

a) Copy ZAPOBJ.EXE and INTRUD.FIX into the same directory as the above mentioned OBJ files.

b) Run ZAPOBJ.EXE against the appropriate OBJ file. The correct syntax for ZAPOBJ.EXE is: ZAPOBJ <INPUTFILE> <OUTPUTFILE> <PARAMETERFILE>.

Example:
For a dedicated server: zapobj dedos.obj newdedos.obj intrud.fix
For a nondedicated server: zapobj nondedos.obj newnon.obj intrud.fix

c) Rename the original OBJ to *.OLD and the patched OBJ (newdedos.obj or newnon.obj) to DEDOS.OBJ or NONDEDOS.OBJ. If you are using floppy disks you will need to create a new working copy of the OSOBJ diskette and copy the patched OBJ files to this diskette.

d) Run INSTALL -M and link and configure the OS. You will then have a new NET$OS.EXE on the OSEXE directory/diskette.

e) If the NetWare partition is not bootable, or if you are running a non-dedicated server, install the new NET$OS.EXE to the network drive and boot the server.
