Environment

Novell NetWare 6
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2)
Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10

Situation

With a NetWare 6.0 (SP5) SLPDA setup, Linux servers fail to register their services with the DA.

FIX:  Change your slpda to NetWare 6.5 with the latest support packs or to and openslp server, such as SLES or OES.  The older code on NetWare 6.0 SP 5 doesn't account for the latest client changes.
