This is a tad offtopic, but...

DAT 4367 crashes Netware servers with engine 4.1.60 too.  Netware users will
need Netshield 4.61 plus Patch 4 for netshield 6.61 plus engine 4320 (patch
4 is essential otherwise your server will abend trying to do a DAT update).
As of the end of this month, only engine 4.3.20 is supported by NAI.  People
using Webshield on a Windows box need to run "sdat4367 /f" to force an
engine update.

Cheers,

Phil
