Environment

Novell Client 2 for Windows

Situation

If the PATH environment variable's value exceeds 1024, the eDirectory login script mapping of search drives can result in an incorrect PATH value being set.

Note that this problem only affects search drives, since they are the only drive mappings that would care about or update the PATH environment variable contents.

Cause

A 1024 character buffer limit in the Novell Client doesn't match the current Windows platform limits.
