domain controller as only being allowed to log on (i.e. locally) to a
particular workstation or list of workstations, he cannot log in to the
Server that authenticates against the domain.
- Fixed an issue where if a user changes an NT user password using a Mac,
the Server cannot connect to the Domain controller using that name to
retrieve users and groups.
- Fixed an issue where Solaris is not able to mount snap server version
3.4 over NFS version 2.

- Fixed an issue where after printing documents using MS Office 97 and
Office XP, the client failed to remove the temp file.

with /nocore option is rebuilt into array. Same issue with FRU drive
having a larger capacity than that of existing drives.
