SYMPTOMS

If your Novell NetWare login script contains a DISPLAY command with a very long path, or uses an environment variable containing a very long path, some information may not be displayed correctly.

CAUSE

An internal buffer is too small to hold the path name.

RESOLUTION

Use a shorter path in the DISPLAY command or environment variable in your login script.
