Your probably right in identifing the novell client as the issue. I know that I had a hard time with some Novell servers awhile ago. A file had been created on one of the volumes. Whenever this file was accessed the server would abend. The only way we could fix this was by making a backup of the volume and then deleting and rebuilding the volume. (In case you were wondering, yes making a backup of this volume was very difficult. Individual sub-directories had to be copied manually untill we identified the file that was causing the abend). Are you using the a network client from novell or the windows clients? -----Original Message----- From: 3APA3A [mailto:3APA3A () SECURITY NNOV RU] Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2001 7:07 AM To: VULN-DEV () SECURITYFOCUS COM Subject: Re: ASCII Char 255 crashes a network Hello Stefan, I can't reproduce this problem on Windows NT 4 SP6a with Windows cp 1251 and OEM cp 866, so probably you discovered a bug in Novell client.
