abstract

Updated Winsock suite for NetWare. It may be used with minimum NetWare 5.1 SP8, Netware 6.0 SP5, and Netware 6.5 SP6. Patch includes updated NILE.NLM based on OpenSSL which requires updates in WSPSSL to work correctly. The NILE update is for NetWare 6.5 SP6 only.

details

Overview:
Winsock update to address issues found after NetWare 6.5 SP7
Includes updated NILE based on OpenSSL to handle NTLS initial handshake.
One additional fix post WSOCK6n patch.

System Requirements:
NetWare 5.1 SP8, NetWare 6.0 SP5, NetWare 6.5 SP6
NILE update will only install on NetWare 6.5 SP6 and does require the winsock suite to be installed along with NILE update. The winsock suite update does not depend on anything in the updated NILE package.

Installation:
Option 1
1. Load Nwconfig | go to Product Options | Install a product not listed | press
F3 to specify a path and specify the path to the winsock.ips file.
Note: This will copy the files to the server boot directory.
2. Down server and then run SERVER.EXE from the C:\NWSERVER\ prompt.

Option 2
1. Rename winsock files or make a backup copy.
2. Copy new files to C:\NWSERVER directory or appropriate server boot
directory.
3. Down server and then run SERVER.EXE from the c:\nwserver prompt.
*Warning: Manually copying files to the DOS partition will update time stamp
on the file and can cause problems with future support packs. You may use
Toolbox.nlm which does preserve proper time stamp.

Uninstalling:
There is an option to restore backed up files from NWCONFIG using normal install
script (WINSOCK.IPS), but of course the backup option must be used first.
The backup option will make a backup copy in the !WINSOCK.OLD directory in the
server boot directory. IE: C:\NWSERVER\!WINSOCK.OLD

Known Problems and Limitations:
none
