4149.0. "%RMS-F-RAC, invalid record access mode" by CTHU22::M_MORIN (Mario Morin, Hull CSC - Canada) Fri Feb 07 1997 10:36

Hi,

Everytime a user initially connects to the 1st share on our server
on a given session, the following error gets logged in $ADMIN/ANAL:

Everything seems to work fine thereafter but we're wondering what
could be the cause.  We've noticed that the file "pwrk$lanman:sharefile."
has the following record format on a $dir/full:

   Record format:      Variable length, maximum 1959 bytes

while on other systems that don't have the error the record format is:

   Record format:      Variable length, maximum 1959 bytes, longest 0 bytes


PATHWORKS Server V5.0E
OpenVMS V6.1

Problem has been around for a while, way before V5.0E was installed.


Thanks for any useful input.

BTW one more thing.

This only happens to Win95 clients, NT 4.0 clients do not
cause the error.

We haven't tried Win, WFW, or DOS clients.
