 SEC286.ZIP and 
 SEC386.ZIP -  A very rare security shortcoming has been identified by 
               Novell.  It has been fixed with these patches.  For most 
               Novell customers who have intruder detection set on, this 
               security weakness will not pose a problem.  Novell recommends
               that all customers turn intruder detection on.  If the 
               customer has greater concerns for security, this corrective 
               patch should be applied.  

               SEC286.ZIP should only be applied to released copies of 
               NetWare 286 v2.15 rev C; any previous or subsequent versions 
               of 286-based NetWare do not have this problem and should not
               have this program fix applied to them.

               SEC386.ZIP should only be applied to released copies of 
	       NetWare 386 v3.10 rev A.

 TB277.TXT   - Technical Bulletin 277.  Several patches have been released 
               for NetWare 386 v3.10 rev A.  Patches for this version fall 
               under three classifications: dynamic, semi-static, and static.
               Dynamic patches are .NLM files that can be loaded and unloaded 
               while the server is running.  Semi-static patches can also be
               loaded while the server is running, but they cannot be 
               unloaded. Static patches are DOS executable programs that make
               changes to the SERVER.EXE file.  

 TB278.TXT   - Technical Bulletin 278.  Patches to NetWare 386 v3.10 rev. A 
               that are considered to be essential are: CACHEFIX, FIXOPEN, 
               PASSFIX, and WDOGFIX. Each of these patches should be loaded 
               at every installation of NetWare 386 v3.10 rev. A.  

 TB279.TXT   - Technical Bulletin 279.  Patches to NetWare 386 v3.10 rev. A 
               which are considered to be special cases are: DELDIRFIX, 
               DELFIX, and DTTMFIX. Each of these patches correct a 
               particular problem or error in v3.10a.

 TB280.TXT   - Technical Bulletin 280.  NetWare users who are upgrading to 
               386 v3.10 may need to upgrade their Novell Disk Coprocessor 
               Boards (DCB).  NetWare 386 v3.10 was written to support the 
               latest in hardware technology. This includes DCBs with 
               revision E or higher of the DCB firmware.  DCBs with firmware
               revision D or earlier will not work with NetWare 386 v3.10. 

 TB281.TXT   - Technical Bulletin 281.  Several patches and enhancements have
               been released for NetWare 286 v2.15 rev. C.  These patches and
               enhancements address invalid VIT errors, large drive support,
               mirroring with optical drives, security, SPX connections, and
               VAP and volume errors.
