APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
The QDIRSRV share was created for PC clients to access the old
LDAP ADMIN GUI under the directory
/QIBM/ProdData/OS400/DirSrv/UserTools/Windows. This is no longer
needed.

CORRECTION FOR APAR SE76771 :
-----------------------------
This PTF will remove the unnecessary QDIRSRV share.

Users who need the QDIRSRV share can evaluate the security
impact of re-adding the share as a read-only share and manually
add the share according to the section "Creating IBM i NetServer
file shares" in Knowledge Center.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR SE76771 :
--------------------------------
None.
