I've got tywo different problems with drive mapping on a Win95 box
using the latest Novell client. The server is running Netware 3.11.

First of all, drives Z: and Y: are getting mapped (to SYS:PUBLIC, and
to SYS:PUBLIC\<machine name>\<os>\<os version> respectively) even
though there's no user login script and the system login script has no
map statements for those drives. 

This means that when the client tries to map them when windows starts,
I get this stupid prompt that I have to answer.

Second, when I open a DOS or 4dos Window, some of the drives that are
automatically attached by the Windows client are either mapped to the
root directory, when they should be pointing to a subdirectory, or they
point to the right directory but you can't CD from that directory. Or
*both*. 

I have to re-map them in the DOS window. And since opening a second
window may result in *different* messed of mappings, I have to open
*all* the windows I intend to use, and then check the mappings in each
one *by hand*. 

I suspect the problem is with NETX as I've had similar symptoms on a
DOS box on the same LAN.
