My Container Login Scripts for my Novell 5.0 and 4.11 servers only ever map to server/SYS. Why is this? The MAP statement in the script is either MAP G: = \\server/sys:folder1 or MAP G: = server_SYS:folder1. I am expecting G: to point to folder1 on the SYS volume of the server. Is this correct, or am I missing something?

What client are you using? The MS client has given me this kind of grief - mapping to SYS: even when the script specifies another volume

Depends how you're looking at the mappings too. In a DOS box, CD G: should get you the G:\FOLDER1> prompt, but if you look at it in Windows Explorer, it will show you the root of the volume. You could use MAP ROOT to force the issue: MAP ROOT G:=SERVER_SYS:FOLDER1.

One other observation: the map statement using the UNC path should be \\server\sys\folder1.

Cheers
