PATHWORKS for DIGITAL UNIX

January 1998

Dear Customer:

Thank you for your interest in the PATHWORKS for DIGITAL UNIX product
from Digital Equipment Corporation.  PATHWORKS for DIGITAL UNIX is a
DIGITAL UNIX layered product that provides seamless interoperability
between DIGITAL UNIX server systems, Microsoft Windows NT server
systems, Microsoft clients, and Novell NetWare Version 3.x servers and
clients.  The PATHWORKS for DIGITAL UNIX software enables a DIGITAL
UNIX system to run the services that make it appear as a Microsoft
Windows NT server and/or a Novell NetWare server.  Through the
PATHWORKS for DIGITAL UNIX software, Microsoft and Novell NetWare
users can use DIGITAL UNIX resources without modifying their software.

Information About This Release

This version of PATHWORKS Version 6.1B for DIGITAL UNIX (Advanced
Server) and the PATHWORKS Version 5.0D for DIGITAL UNIX (NetWare)
software include Year 2000 (Y2K) support, which enables the PATHWORKS
for DIGITAL UNIX server to use dates that extend to the year 2000, and
beyond.

Required Software

The PATHWORKS Version 6.1B for DIGITAL UNIX (Advanced Server) and the
PATHWORKS Version 5.0D for DIGITAL UNIX (NetWare) software requires
the DIGITAL UNIX Version 4.0A through Version 4.0D operating system
software.  

Note:

By default the PATHWORKS for DIGITAL UNIX (Advanced
Sever) software creates a DIGITAL UNIX user account for a user if one
does not exist when you create their domain user account.  If the
system on which PATHWORKS for DIGITAL UNIX is installed has the
OSF410DX-400005 patch ID, which is part of patch DUV40BAS00005-
19971009, installed, then the DIGITAL UNIX account is created without
a password.  Anyone can log in to the DIGITAL UNIX server using the
account without being prompted for a password.  

To resolve this problem you must use the /usr/sbin/usermod utility to
set the default value for the administrative_lock_applied parameter to
1.  That is, enter the following at the DIGITAL UNIX prompt:

# usermod -D -x administrative_lock_applied=1

See the usermod reference page for more information on the usermod
utility.
