Environment


Novell Client for Windows 2000/XP/2003 4.91 Support Pack 2

Situation

In windows explorer, Inherited Rights and Filters on a network drive is missing the username.
Only the first initial of the username shows up under the section'Inherited Trustees from...'
The 4.91 (4.91.0.20050216) client displays the full username.
The 4.91 SP2 shows only the first initial of the username.

Resolution

Apply nwshlxnt.dll dated 27FEB2006 or later.  Search Novell's File Finder for this file.

Additional Information

Steps To Duplicate:
1.  Install 4.91 Support Pack 2 client
2.  In Windows Explorer right click on a network directory
3.  Choose Inherited Rights and Filters
4.  Under the section 'Inherited Trustees from...'
             users that have been given rights from directories above will show only the first initial of the username. 
             users that have been given explicit rights at the directory will show the full username.
The same test with the 4.91 shipping client (no support pack) will show the full username in all cases.
