Known problems in version 1.00
==============================

1.  CIFS: Security permissions set by W2000 cannot be used by Win9x. You
    get access denied when trying to read files from a Win9x client.

    Workaround: Set security permissions with a Windows NT4 instead.

2.  CIFS User Manager tool: The function of creating home directories for
    users is not fully supported. The user is not given exclusive rights.
    Instead the directories inherit security permissions from its' parent.

3.  CIFS: If using Service Pack 3 or lower, taking ownership doesn't work
    for a non-admin user even if he has taken ownership rights.

    Workaround: Install Service Pack 4 or higher.

4.  NFS: The NFS protocol is disabled by default and can in this release not
    be enabled through the Web interface of the StorPoint NAS 100.

5.  NetWare: Netware Bindery is by default disabled in this release. If
    enabling NetWare Bindery mode, all users have full access to all volumes.

6.  NetWare: The Netware Filer administration program does not work correctly
    with the StorPoint NAS 100.

7.  NetWare: During installation in NDS using the installation Wizard in the
    Web administration interface, using the back button may cause
    installation to fail.

8.  NetWare: NCP burst mode is disabled by default. If using the StorPoint NAS 100
    simultaneously with NetWare and CIFS, enabling NCP burst might cause
    communication failure.

9.  NetWare: If installation is done in a new tree (no prior schema extensions),
    the config.ini file has to be used instead of the Web wizard.

10. Volume management: After a factory default, the share name of the volumes might
    differ from the actual volume name.
