                             SYSCON Error Messages


The SYSCON version released with NetWare v2.15 returns the following error when invoked if the fileserver name is longer than 8 characters:

	CreateDirectory returned an error code of -1

If the user hits the Escape key, the same error reappears; the user can then continue.  This error occurs because SYSCON is attempting to create a directory that already exists.

SYSCON returns the following error message when changes are made to the system login script:

	ChangeMode returned an error code of 206

	An attempt to change file attributes of file "\\server_name\sys\public\net$log.dat" failed.  the mode was 1.

After the error message appears, the user is returned to the login script.  (The changes have actually been saved at this point.)

A New SYSCON

The problems listed above have been fixed in a new release of SYSCON.EXE.  The new file size and date is 236039 6/27/89.  The version associated with this copy of SYSCON is v2.20a.  The new version of SYSCON.EXE is available on NetWire.
