abstract

Fixed the nxpwdpa utility for the IDM 3.5.1 Bi-directional Linux/Unix driver.

Installation:
1. Stop the driver shim:
/etc/init.d/nxdrvd stop

2. Copy the nxpwdpa from the appropriate OS to your
/usr/local/nxdrv/bin/ directory.

chmod +x /usr/local/nxdrv/bin/nxpwdpa

4. Start the driver shim:
