SYMPTOMS
When you connect from an OS/2 LAN Manager 2.2 workstation to a Windows NT share that is redirected to a Novell NetWare 4.0 server resource, where the Windows NT server is running Microsoft Gateway Service for NetWare and you attempt to delete all the files in a directory with the command:
DEL *.*
the files are not deleted. This does not happen from a Windows NT client.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
- From a Windows NT computer, NET USE to NetWare 4.0 server shared resource
- From the Windows NT computer, NET SHARE the redirected drive
- From an OS/2 LAN Manager 2.2 Workstation or Server (OS/2 v1.3), NET USE to the shared resource on the Windows NT computer
- From the OS/2 computer, type "COPY C:\OS2\*.* F:\TEST" (without the quotation marks and where F: is the drive mapped to Windows NT redirected share)
- From the OS/2 machine, type "MKDIR F:\TEST\TEMP"
- From the OS/2 machine, type "COPY F:\TEST\*.* F:\TEST\TEMP"
- From the OS/2 machine, type "CD \TEST\TEMP"
- From the OS/2 machine, type "DEL *.*"
- From the OS/2 machine, type "DIR" and you will still see files.
