8874.0. "release notes confusion?" by RHETT::LACORTI () Tue Feb 18 1997 15:18

    I customer brought up something interesting. In the 4.0b release
    notes page 2-6 adn 2-7 it first talks about isntallupdate from
    4.0 or 4.0a to go  to 4.0b. That section applies to update 
    procedure. Well 2.4.2 talks about having to run convauth. Since
    someone at 4.0 should already have the new auth.db, isnt this 
    confusing.. I would assume that you would not need to run convauth
    unless coming from 3.2X, but you cant go to 4.0b from 3.2X

	I think it's just an accidental leftover when we moved the release notes from V4.0/V4.0a to V4.0b. But, you don't have to run convauth for Enhanced Security to keep working. So, there may be people who didn't run it for V4.0/V4.0a who might want to for V4.0b. In this case having the instructions in the release notes would be useful. [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
