Open and Read Access Denied to WFWSYS.CFG

ID: Q111561

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft LAN Manager, version 2.2

SYMPTOMS

Open and read access to the file WFWSYS.CFG on a LAN Manager server is denied.

CAUSE

In Windows for Workgroups 3.11 you can administer certain configured security features located in the file WFWSYS.CFG. The file can exist locally or on a remote computer. When WFWG is started, a null session is established to the server/workgroup client where WFWSYS.CFG is located and the security settings are initialized.

If WFWSYS.CFG is located on a LAN Manager server, open and read access is denied due to the null session imposed by OS2/LAN Manager.

WORKAROUND

Install WFWSYS.CFG on the local machine.
