From the support forums:
As for the rights thing I posted about earlier, I do take a nightly trustee backup using TRUSTEE.NLM. This handy thing dumps out a CSV-formatted list of trustees and IRFs on the file systems. I've been thinking about ways to leverage that to get the lists people may request. What might work better would be something that interfaces with the Virtual File System stuff out there on _admin. The trick there will be dereferencing group names, but that could be done with simple LDAP.
I'm just hoping I don't have to build it, but I have all the bits I need to construct something should the case arise.
I also noticed yesterday that Novell has updated their documentation on VFS for NetWare. Ever wonder what all that stuff in that odd _ADMIN volume was for? This will tell you what it is for, and how to interface with it.

There will certainly be a SP6, it's in beta now. Normal schedule wouldSo yes, boys and girls, there will be a SP6. And it'll come out a bit over a year after SP5 came out. This service-pack will be a doozy. I know this because of all of the post-SP5 patches I had to put in when I rolled SP5 out earlier.
see it out in February, but of course that may vary depending on test
results and other factors.
