ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for PATHWORKS for ULTRIX V1.3 (RISC) on ULTRIX V4.3A
through V4.4. This kit addresses the following problems:
PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN ECO01PCR130D:
o Listing Open Files.
When open files were listed using pcsamgr on a busy
system, the pcsaadmd process would sometimes crash. This problem
occurred because pointers and indices in shared memory would become
obsolete.
o File Reads on Slow File Systems.
Different file read SMB's did not handle
the error in the same manner. This resulted in read failures for slow
file systems with Lock and Read Block Raw SMB's. All file read SMB's
now retry on this error. The handling of EINTR errno on disk reads
was made consistent.
o NetBIOS name on Broadcasts.
The destination NetBIOS name for broadcasts ("*") was padded with
NULLs. The correct NetBIOS name to use for broadcasts is padded
with spaces.
o NetBIOS message type on broadcasts.
The wrong NetBIOS message type was set on broadcast messages.
PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN ECO02PCR130:
o CD-ROM files with NULL extensions
Files on a shared CD-ROM which have a filename ending with a
dot (.) were not previously visible from the client. The server
has been modified so that these files are now visible.
o Clearing the DOS ARCHIVE bit
A problem existed whereby once the DOS ARCHIVE bit for a file
was cleared (i.e. via DOS BACKUP), the bit would not be
turned on when the file was modified. The problem has
been fixed in this release.
o DisableArchiveBit parameter
A parameter has been added to the lanman.ini file to disable
usage of the set group bit by the PATHWORKS for ULTRIX
server. This bit was used to set the DOS ARCHIVE bit on file
shares. If this parameter is set to yes, the DOS ATTRIB
command can not be used to set the ARCHIVE bit and a syslog
message will be written if this is attempted.
The use of this bit can cause problems on an NFS file share
which is exported from another UNIX system, if the other
system expects to use the bit for another purpose (such as
for locking). In most cases, this parameter will not be
set.
To set the disablearchivebit parameter, the lanman.ini file
must be manually modified. The parameter can not be changed
using pcsamgr. If pcsamgr is used to set another lanman.ini
parameter, the disablearchivebit setting will revert to no.
The file must be edited again to correct this.
o UNIX and DOS file conversion
The programs used to convert files between UNIX and DOS
formats, ult2dos and dos2ult, now use unique temporary
filenames. This allows these programs to be executed
simultaneously from the same directory. Before this change,
simultaneously executing two instances of these processes
from the same directory would cause file corruption.
o CPU consumption by pcsafs process
A problem existed whereby the pcsafs process could loop
if the client delivered an invalid file handle. This
problem is fixed in this release.
o Printing when the server has a long hostname
If the server's unix hostname was long, the print control
file created by a client print request would be corrupted.
The largest hostname allowed is 31 characters. The problem
would occur if the hostname was greater than 12 characters.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Customers must de-install PATHWORKS for ULTRIX subsets using
setld:
> /etc/setld -d PCRBASE130 PCRRNOTES130 PCRMAN130
If any of the subsets are not installed, setld displays a
message to the user. It also prompts the user to confirm
that they really want to deinstall the subsets specified.
and re-install with new kit:
> /sbin/setld -l /kitdir
- /kitdir is the location of the kit. If the kit is on tape, the
most common tape drive specification is /dev/rmt0h. If the kit is
already on the system, /kitdir is the path to the kit's location.
See directions below for details on installing the kit.
INSTALLING The PATHWORKS for ULTRIX Kit:
Use the tar utility to unpack the kit, example:
> tar xvf ECO01PCR130D.tar
- the following files are in the tar file.
PCRMAN130 PCR.image
PCRRNOTE130 instctrl
PCRBASE130
Change to the kit directory and use the setld utility to install the kit:
> cd
> /etc/setld -l /kitdir
- The above setld command will display a list of valid subsets that
are in the current directory in menu format and prompts the user.
Below is an example:
*** Enter Subset Selections ***
The subsets listed below are optional:
1) PATHWORKS for ULTRIX 2) PATHWORKS for ULTRIX Man Pages>
3) PATHWORKS for ULTRIX Rel Notes
4) All mandatory and all optional subsets
5) Mandatory subsets only
6) Exit without installing subsets
Enter your choice(s):
The installation proceeds from here.
