Hi. We have been using BorderManager 3.9 sp1 since school started in
September. Worked all summer too.

I had been using BorderStats to look at log files, but that was limited
and the school admins wanted more.

I installed and configuring Novell auditing. MySQL started just fine.
Did the checks and all seemed good. Then I ran STRTBRD and got an
immediate ABEND;

Abend 1 on P00: Server-5.70.07: Page Fault Processor Exception (Error

********************************************
I have read that clearing all the rules and re-doing them MIGHT help.
One lady said she had to Re-install SP1, Re-do all the Rules and only
then did BorderManager run. She was the only poster on that thread. Is
this the only solution?

Why did it work until I installed Novell Auditing and then - BROKE?

Thanks - Bill

It is a race condition that happens when UrlFiltTable gets initialized
and trying to access a member of UrlFiltTable which is not initialized.
Novell has an internal aclcheck with the fix. Contact support to get it

Thanks Gonzalo. Does that mean that we'll have to pay for an incident
as we don't have a support contract to get this fix?

Thanks again //Bill
