Ken Wolff propounded (on Thu, Aug 03, 2000 at 02:42:03PM +0000):
| Running OSR5.0.5 (with rs505a, oss497b, oss471c and VisionFS 3.00.925)  We 
| are using encrypted passwords authenticated by a WinNT 4.0 (SP5) PDC.
| 
| About 20 Win95 PCs access shared printers and drives on this machine.  From 
| time to time it seems that Vision just "losses" the password used on the 
| WIN95 machine.  For example, I have a drive "X" mapped to a share on this 
| machine.  I have a file opened from drive "X" and try to save that file and 
| get an "access denied" error.  At that point I cannot open drive X or 
| anything else through VisionFS.
| 
| If I go into Network Neigborhood and double click on this server, it asks 
| me for my password to \\server\IPC$.  I enter the same password I used 
| before and once again I have access.  I can then save the file I have open.
| 
| Has anyone else run into this?  Right now I show 10 WIN95 machines 
| connected.  We have a 57 user SCO License which I understand translates to 
| a 57 user VisionFS license.

I have nothing much to suggest on your specific problem, but you have
nothing to lose by installing the 3.10.910 release, which appeared on
www.caldera.com/vision just recently.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
