Connecting to a Novell Network using VLMs, rather than NETX, radically changes the users view of the server before they have actually logged on.

Under NETX, the user sees the Login directory as F:\LOGIN>. Connecting via VLMs, however, creates a ROOT drive mapping to the Login directory, and users see only F:\>.

This means that the same Login directory appears as F:\> before a user has logged in, and F:\LOGIN> after. This fact causes PMENU to function incorrectly, unless an additional installation step is taken;

To ensure that PMENU can still see a F:\LOGIN> directory before the users have logged on, a sub-directory of SYS:LOGIN must be created called LOGIN:

SYS:LOGIN\LOGIN

A copy of all the PMENU files must be made to this subdirectory from the F:\LOGIN> directory. It is important that these files exist in the new directory, but they actually play no further part in the menu system, and therefore need NOT be updated if any of the PSH files are changed in the F:\LOGIN directory.

To allow users to correctly see the contents of this new directory, the group EVERYONE must be given Read and File Scan [RF] rights to SYS:LOGIN\LOGIN.

PMENU will then function normally.
