TOPIC

    Occasionally, customers will experience system crashes when trying to log in to an iDisk or Mac OS X Sever volume after entering an invalid username or password at least once. The Finder or Login may unexpectedly quit, or an error Type 10 may result.


DISCUSSION

    This issue is related to the implementation of the DHX User Authentication Method used with AppleShare Client 3.8.5 to encrypt passwords before transmission to the server. Users who experience this issue with Mac OS 9, including all iDisk users, should upgrade to AppleShare Client 3.8.6. This software, available from Apple Software Updates sites, can be found at:

    Users running another version of the Mac OS should refer to the AppleShare Client 3.8.6 Read Me document to determine if an upgrade is appropriate for them. Please see Tech Info Library article 58523: " AppleShare Client 3.8.6: Read Me "
