After updating to mars-nwe-0.99pl17-4.i386.rpm that includes buffer overflow patch - mars crashes very early in nwconn. Here is dump using strace attached to nwconn pid pid: lseek(5, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 2048 getdents(5, 0 1208 ... /* 52 entries */, 3933) = 1208 stat("/home/novell/mars_nwe/sys//public/syscon.exe", {st_mode=030655, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) --- ncpconn died... This occured after attempt to run syscon.exe, but it is not syscon specific. The connection terminates very soon when attemted to read any file... Using the same source without mars_nwe-buffer.patch everything works well.
Does the latest mars-nwe package from Raw Hide (0.99pl17-5) work better for you? ------- Additional Comments From 10/27/99 10:53 ------- Sorry, but 0.99pl17-5 still crashes. Usually I'm able to list ~ directory, but it crashes when changing working directory. Also, all marses generate some suspicious messages, like write_wdata:Invalid argument to NWBIND but they seems to harmless (seen on unpatched mars, that works well)
*** Bug 6460 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** with the latest fix of mars-nwe (99-pl17-4, sept 13 and 15 date; or 99-pl17-0-5-2 for redhat 5.2), access to the bindery (specifically, trustee rights) and permissions when browsing the server drives via a netware client (both novell client 32 for win95 and the ms win95 client) are screwed up. when using syscon to access the bindery, the workstation hangs when trying to edit trustee rights. during this time, the server issues the following message to the console: 10.27,20:01:06 NWC! 9: PANIC!!! 10.27,20:01:06 NWC! 9: !!!SIG_SEGV!!! at PID=1333, ncp_sequence=9 this message appears repetitively until the workstation syscon process is terminated. I back-graded to 99-pl17-1 and 99-pl17-3 and things were ok! I am running RH 5.2. Please let me know what you think!
