SYMPTOMS
========
When you use Macintosh System 7.5 File Find to access a Windows NT server with
Services for Macintosh installed, the following error message appears if you
encounter a folder or file that you do not have access to:
Find File Reports: incorrect appletalk access for this folder.
Server may have gone off-line -5000.
CAUSE
=====
Because Windows NT Server does not support the FpCatSearch (Catalog Search) API
(what the Macintosh client normally calls to do the File-Find), the Macintosh
client enumerates all files and folders on the disk (using the FpEnumerate API)
and filters for matches itself. Under System 7.1, if the Enumerate call on a
folder fails because a user does not have access to the folder, the Macintosh
client keeps enumerating directories that it does have access to, and continues
the search. A trace (sniff) shows that under System 7.5 Macintosh clients
display the error noted above and terminate the search when they encounter a
directory that cannot be enumerated, because the client does not have access to
the directory.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Server version 3.5.
This problem was corrected in Windows NT version 3.51.
