Hi Craig
It sounds like you may have some incompatibility here with the TSA
modules.

I'll take your word for it that the 4.22 client is incompatible with
Netware5.0, but I know we had some issues with the way they changed the
install of the 4.22 client.
Basically to get a clean install, we had to...
Unload Networker
Issue NWDOWN
Manually unload RPCBSTUB
We then deleted the SYS:\NSR directory (as the new RPCBSTUB is now
loaded to SYS:\SYSTEM (not SYS:\NSR) and we found it was loading the old
version from SYS:\NSR until we deleted it).
Installed the 4.22 client.

I'd try that first - and see if the 4.22 client will work if it's
installed in this way.

Failing that, get hold of the latest TSA update from support.novell.com
for your version of the Netware OS.
Other NLMs get updated, like SMDR for example.
It's likely that in installing 4.22, you've also still got RPCBSTUB
from 4.22 in SYS:\SYSTEM too.  Check the correct one is loading (ie 4.15
in your case now).

Hope this helps... Allan.

Howdy,

After mucking around with trying to fix some problems on a few of our
old Novell servers, we have started seeing the following error.

The Novell servers in question are running Novell v5.00, SP6.0A.
Networker clientpak for Netware v4.15.  Our Networker server is v6.1.3
Build 428 on a HPUX 11i machine.

Initially, I had our Netware admins upgrade the clientpak to 4.22,
only
to find out that our Netware version, 5.00, was not supported, so we
downgraded back to v4.15.  The TSA500.nlm is the same version now as
it
was before we did the clientpak upgrade/downgrade, and as far as I
know,
everything else is back the way it was before the upgrade/downgrade.

Here's the error.  Can anyone point me in some direction as to how to
fix it (without the "upgrade your netware to something other than
5.00"
- we currently can't do that)?

Oct 28 11:04:50 apollo syslog: * slc-it-s1:SYS: Cannot stat SYS::
(TSA500.NLM 5.1 259) This program cannot allocate a directory handle.
