TITLE: Compaq TCP/IP TCPIPALP_E0151 TCP/IP V5.1 for OpenVMS Alpha ECO Summary New Kit Date : 09-MAY-2001 Modification Date: Not Applicable Modification Type: New Kit NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file. For OpenVMS savesets, the name of the compressed saveset file will be kit_name.a-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name.a-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the OpenVMS saveset is copied to your system, expand the compressed saveset by typing RUN kitname.dcx_vaxexe or kitname.dcx_alpexe. For PCSI files, once the PCSI file is copied to your system, rename the PCSI file to kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi, then it can be expanded by typing RUN kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi. The resultant file will be the PCSI installation file which can be used to install the ECO. Copyright (c) Compaq Computer Corporation 2001. All rights reserved. PRODUCT: Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS OP/SYS: OpenVMS Alpha SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: TCPIPALP_E0151 DEC-AXPVMS-TCPIP_ECO-V0501-151-4.PCSI ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: None ECO Kit Approximate Size: 38,512 Blocks Kit Applies To: Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS V5.1 OpenVMS Alpha V7.1, V7.1-1H1, V7.1-1H2, V7.2, V7.2-1, V7.2-1H1, V7.2-1H2, V7.2-2 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: Yes Rolling Re-boot Supported: Information Not Available Installation Rating: INSTALL_UNKNOWN Kit Dependencies: The following remedial kit(s) must be installed BEFORE installation of this kit: None In order to receive all the corrections listed in this kit, the following remedial kits should also be installed: None ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for Compaq TCP/IP V5.1 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 through 7.2-2. This kit addresses the following problems: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 BFS Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 10-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$CFS_SHR.EXE V5.1-15A Problem: NFS problem with file aliases where certain file aliases created on the VMS side are only partly visable on Unix. Solution: Treat all file aliases to directories as directories when MODUS_OPERANDI bit 16384 is set. Reference: PTR 70-8-42 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 BIND_RESOLVER Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 10-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$IPC_SHR.EXE V5.1-15A Problem: The dynamic updates being sent by the load broker to a Windows2000 DNS server were failing with an error similiar to: unknown response: ans=0, auth=1, add=1, rcode=3 Solution: Modify the check on the response packet from an SOA query to accept packets that have an empty answer section, auth=1, and add=1. Reference: PTR 70-5-1572 / CFS.80807 / Req Id: BE_G01053 ECO B 16-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$IPC_SHR.EXE V5.1-15B Problem: FTP, telnet, and possibly others were failing with 'unexpected nameserver error' when trying to connect to a host that had an underscore in the host name. Solution: Loosen the restriction on the host name checking. The resolver now uses a different routine to process host names. This routine verifies against a larger character set which includes underscores, et al. NOTE: In order for hostnames containing underscores to be allowed using applications such as TELNET and FTP, the following line must be added to the options section of your BIND servers' TCPIP$BIND.CONF configuration file: check-names master ignore; for example: options { directory "SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$BIND]"; check-names master ignore; }; Reference: PTR 70-5-1641 / CFS.82606 / Req Id: BCSM30T81 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 BIND_SERVER Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 12-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$BIND_SERVER_CONTROL.EXE V5.1-15A Problem: The ndc commands start, stop, and restart no longer work. Solution: No longer use the sending of a packet method to start the BIND server. Instead, incorporate the TCPIP$BIND_STARTUP/SHUTDOWN command procedures to do the job. Reference: TCPIP_BUGS Note 2201 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 BIND_TOOLS Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 9-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$ACCESS_SHR.EXE V5.1-15A Problem: TCPIP SHOW HOST was ACCVIO'ing in certain cases when retrieving the BIND database. Solution: NSLOOKUP was modified to deal with large DNS messages. Reference: PTR 70-5-1560 / CFS.80586 / Req Id: GB_G01030 PTR 70-5-1588 / CFS.81412 / Req Id: GB_G01110 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 DNFS Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 23-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$DNFSACP.EXE V5.1-15A TCPIP$DNFSDISMOUNT.EXE V5.1-15A TCPIP$DNFSDRIVER.EXE V5.1-15A TCPIP$DNFSMOUNT.EXE V5.1-15A Problem: Experiment to use native quadword math on Alpha still has problems. Solution: Force the Alpha path to use the same LIB$* routines as the VAX path. Reference: Internal testing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 FTP_SERVER Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 19-FEB-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$FTP_SERVER.EXE V5.1-15A Problem: FTP Server ACCVIO'S because the reallocation of the session table on the 129th simultaneous connection fails. Solution: Dynamically reallocate the session table. Session table grows by MAX_SESSIONS. Reference: PTR 70-5-1408 / CFS.76668 / Req ID: HPAQ51QP2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 INET Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 31-JAN-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$INETDRIVER.EXE V5.1-15A Problem: The INETdriver can cause a PGFIPLHI crash in VMS EXE$CANCEL. Solution: Fixed the INETdriver to make sure the CCB is paged into memory before returning to EXE$CANCEL. Reference: PTR 70-5-1566 / CFS.80053 / Req Id: BRO41389B --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 INSTALL Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 23-FEB-2001 Alpha and VAX Sources: TCPIP$V51_CONVERSION.COM Problem: TCP/IP Services doesn't support SMTP as an IPv6 capable service. Solution: Modified UCPs service database module and the V5.1 rollover command procedure to add support for SMTP as an IPv6 capable service. Reference: TCPIP_BUGS Note 2075 ECO B 28-FEB-2001 Alpha and VAX Sources: TCPIP$SHUTDOWN.COM Problem: TCPIP$SHUTDOWN.COM fails to: 1. return correct severity level for shutdown errors, and 2. only delete service-enable logical names on successful shutdowns. Solution: Modified the TCPIP$SHUTDOWN.COM command procedure to return correct severity level for shutdown errors, and only delete service-enable logical names on successful shutdowns. Reference: TCPIP_BUGS Note 2161 ECO C 28-FEB-2001 Alpha and VAX Sources: TCPIP$CONFIG.COM Problem: SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT database file is not created by TCPIP$CONFIG.COM Solution: Modified TCPIP$CONFIG.COM to create TCPIP$ETC:SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT database by extracting its template file from SYS$LIBRARY:TCPIP$TEMPLATES.TLB. Reference: TCPIP_BUGS Note 2180 ECO D 10-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Sources: TCPIP$INET_STARTUP.COM Problem: Ip6rtrd process disappears. Solution: Delay start of TCPIP$IP6RTRD process so that IPv6 is configured on each interface. Reference: TCPIP_BUGS Note 2205 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 IPC Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 10-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$IPC_SHR.EXE V5.1-15A Problem: The dynamic updates being sent by the load broker to a Windows2000 DNS server were failing with an error similiar to: unknown response: ans=0, auth=1, add=1, rcode=3 Solution: Modify the check on the response packet from an SOA query to accept packets that have an empty answer section, auth=1, and add=1. Reference: PTR 70-5-1572 / CFS.80807 / Req Id: BE_G01053 ECO B 16-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$IPC_SHR.EXE V5.1-15B Problem: FTP, telnet, and possibly others were failing with 'unexpected nameserver error' when trying to connect to a host that had an underscore in the host name. Solution: Loosen the restriction on the host name checking. The resolver now uses a different routine to process host names. This routine verifies against a larger character set which includes underscores, et al. Reference: PTR 70-5-1641 / CFS.82606 / Req Id: BCSM30T81 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 KERNEL_NFS Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 19-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$NFS_SERVER.EXE V5.1-15A Problem: Proxy UID lookup did not pass the host pointer. Solution: Proxy UID lookup now passes the host pointer. Reference: Internal testing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 KERNEL_RPC Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 22-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Sources: KERNEL_RPC.COM Problem: Needed DCPI symbols in kernel_rpc.com Solution: Added DCPI symbols to kernel_rpc.com Reference: Internal testing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 KERNEL_RPCSVC Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 22-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Sources: KERNEL_RPCSVC.COM Problem: Needed DCPI symbols in kernel_rpcsvc.com Solution: Added DCPI symbols to kernel_rpcsvc.com Reference: Internal testing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 KERNEL_VFS Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 22-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$NFS_SERVICES.EXE V5.1-15A Problem: Fixed 4 problems with NFS_SERVICES. Solution: 1: Released the VN_WRITE_LOCK for ADFs. 2: Removed debug aprintfs. 3: Moved VOP_CLOSE() in VRELE() to handle return codes. 4: Fix MOUNTLIST_UNLOCK issue. Reference: Internal testing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 MSG Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 2-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$SMTP_MAILSHR.EXE V5.1-15B TCPIP$MSG.EXE V5.1-15A Problem: The TCPIP> ANALYZE MAIL /REPAIR operation does not fix any inconsistencies, but exits with %TCPIP-E-SMTPERROR and %TCPIP-W-ANA_QUEACC. These error show non-printable characters and customer needs to reset its terminal. Solution: Initialized the field passed when writing out this message to avoid the non-printable characters. Allow the analyze mail to continue to queue other files despite the error caused by particular invalid files. Also, added another informational message which aids in determining which file and possible cause of the failing file message: UCX-I-ANA_USER_RNF, $SNDJBCW(CREATE_JOB) reports RMS-E-RNF; Suspect user name is not valid for file: Reference: PTR 70-5-1097 / CFS.69028 / Req Id: MGO14797A --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 NET Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 19-FEB-2001 Alpha ONLY Images: TCPIP$INETACP.EXE V5.1-15A TCPIP$INTERNET_SERVICES.EXE V5.1-15A Problem: Memory leak of SLIP, P5 buffer and vcibdef data structures of type OVMS_ACP_SLIP, OVMS_ACP_SLIP_P5 and OVMS_INET_LAN_VCIB respectively. Solution: Deallocate SLIP and P5 buffer in INETACP_CREATE_SLIP_INIT with FREE_ACP; after INETACP_SET_PPP is called. Fix a bug in inet_ppp_vci.c where it was incorrectly assumed that inetvcib is deallocated by other driver code. Reference: TCPIP_BUGS Note 2172 ECO B 23-FEB-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$INTERNET_SERVICES.EXE V5.1-15B Problem: SNMP does not report the correct speed for an interface. On V5.1 all LAN interfaces report 10MB, including ethernet, gigabit ethernet and FDDI. Solution: Add code to interface initalization code in the Kernel to properly initialize the if_baudrate field in the IFNET structure. Reference: TCPIP_BUGS Note 2143 ECO C 23-FEB-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$INTERNET_SERVICES.EXE V5.1-15C Problem: System Crash during TCP/IP shutdown due to arrival of a send or receive QIO at the wrong time. Solution: Initialize variables in the code process that sends and recieves QIO requests before testing to see if we are in the TCP/IP shutdown phase. Reference: PTR 75-45-2254 TCPIP_BUGS Note 2140 ECO D 3-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$INTERNET_SERVICES.EXE V5.1-15B Problem: In the RSH/REXEC server, the print-format carriage control is not properly handled. This is particularly a problem for COBOL applications, whose output is incorrectly displayed with 137 blank lines between every two lines of output. Solution: The RSH/REXEC server has been corrected to deal with certain carriage control specifications, including those commonly used by COBOL applications. Reference: PTR 70-5-1611 / CFS.82075 / Req Id: TKTB20073 / TCPIP_BUGS Note 8343 ECO E 10-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$INTERNET_SERVICES.EXE V5.1-15E Problem: Oracle Parallel Server does not work with TCPIP V5.1. The problem arises in a select() call which is aborted due to receipt of a signal. In reality we had two problems. First, in some circumstance select() was returning the wrong status code, SS$_SHUT rather than SS$_CANCEL. Second, if the select abort occurred in a very small window of time, there was a danger of an incorrect value being left in a UCB field and this incorrect value would lead to select() failing forever more within the context of the current process. Solution: The solution to the first problem is to simply change the returned status code so that the caller is satisfied. The solution to the second problem is to clear the offending field when a select is aborted. Reference: PTR 75-45-2256 TCPIP_BUGS Note 2165 ECO F 10-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$INTERNET_SERVICES.EXE V5.1-15F Problem: 5.1 does not send back an RST when it gets a TCP packet out of the blue, for a connection it doesn't recognize. Solution: Backport the fix from 5.1A(QAR 76705). Reference: TCPIP_BUGS Note 2204 ECO G 13-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$INTERNET_SERVICES_SMP.EXE V5.1-15G Problem: Enhancement for internal performance testing only. Solution: Rebuild kernel to incorporate fix. Reference: Internal testing. ECO H 16-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$INTERNET_SERVICES.EXE V5.1-15H Problem: The sysconfig logic implemented in common_cfg.c does not pay attention to the type of operation and treat CFG_OP_RECONFIGURE as CFG_OP_CONFIGURE. This can lead to crashes (see note 2162.0) Solution: common_cfg.c is a VMS specific file. (distant cousin of UNIX cfg related files.) This file was missing the check for reconfigure. I incorporated the check done in UNIX in common_cfg.c Note: Under UNIX the logic is implemented in the kern_kmodcall.c for the local system with support logic in subsys_conf.c and cfg_subr.c for remote. Reference: PTR 70-5-1480 / CFS.78558 / Req Id: MGO93885A TCPIP_BUGS Note 2144 ECO I 16-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$INETACP.EXE V5.1-15I Problem: After defining an "accept network" the hosts in that network are not allowed access via telnet. Solution: When IPv6 is enabled for a service, such as telnet, the sockaddrs for incoming connections are always IPv6 sockaddrs even when the incoming connection came from an IPv4 host. In this case ths sockaddr will contain an IPv4 mapped address in the IPv6 sockaddr. Reference: PTR 70-5-1630 / CFS.82492 / Req Id: BCSM30GWD ECO K 19-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$INETACP.EXE V5.1-15K TCPIP$INTERNET_SERVICES.EXE V5.1-15K Problem: Fixed 5 problems with NFS. Solution: 1: Fix problem where a subsystem with one parameter will return sizing information instead of the parameter in query_all. 2: Fix problem where a subsystem parameter marked as configure onlycan be reconfigured. This can lead to system crashes. 3: When opening an association using the old relationship style with a UCB, clear the DELETEUCB bit to protect it. 4: When closing an association using the old relationship style with a UCB, set the DELETEUCB bit to allow its deletion. 5: Added input parameter host_pointer to the proxy routines GET_REMOTE_USER_NAME and GET_REMOTE_USER_UID. Reference: Internal testing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 PROXY_SERVER Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 19-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$PROXY_SERVICES.EXE V5.1-15A Problem: Unique users within a host could not be looked up. Solution: Add host parameter to $GET_REMOTE_USER_* routines. Reference: Internal testing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 SMTP Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 8-Feb-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$SMTP_MAILSHR.EXE V5.1-15A Problem: Users that do not have SYSPRV privilege will cause security alarms when sending SMTP mail. Solution: Set SYSPRV around the system call SYS$GETUAI to prevent security alarms. Reference: PTR 70-5-1230 / CFS.72953 / Req Id: BCGMC02MK / TCPIP_BUGS Note 7475 ECO B 2-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$SMTP_MAILSHR.EXE V5.1-15B TCPIP$MSG.EXE V5.1-15A Problem: The TCPIP> ANALYZE MAIL /REPAIR operation does not fix any inconsistencies, but exits with %TCPIP-E-SMTPERROR and %TCPIP-W-ANA_QUEACC. These error show non-printable characters and customer needs to reset its terminal. Solution: Initialized the field passed when writing out this message to avoid the non-printable characters. Allow the analyze mail to continue to queue other files despite the error caused by particular invalid files. Also, added another informational message which aids in determining which file and possible cause of the failing file message: UCX-I-ANA_USER_RNF, $SNDJBCW(CREATE_JOB) reports RMS-E-RNF; Suspect user name is not valid for file: Reference: PTR 70-5-1097 / CFS.69028 / Req Id: MGO14797A ECO C 3-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$SMTP_MAILSHR.EXE V5.1-15C Problem: When multiple address in an SMTP .DIS file are in the local domain and one of the addresses can't be delivered delivery stops and the addresses following the address with problems are ignored. Solution: Bounce the mail for the address that incurs the problem and continue delivering to the next address as was done before the bug was introduced. Reference: PTR 30-7-60 ECO D 3-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$SMTP_MAILSHR.EXE V5.1-15D Problem: Access Violation occurs in MAILSHR when an attempt is made to mail a file via SMTP, with incorrect file attributes. Solution: Bugs were identified in both VMSMail and SMTP which both conspired to cause these ACCVIOs on Alpha (and other errant behavior on VAX). In VMSmail, its RMS error AST routine was fixed to include correct VMSmail context when LIB$SIGNALing the error which SMTP was reporting via the MAIL$PROTOCOL interface. Contact VMS Support regarding availability of this patch. In SMTP, don't always trust the longest-record-length file attribute, establishing a minimum 1000-byte buffer for reading mail files, and don't resignal RMS$_RTB to the MAILSHR condition handler directly from SMTP.

Also various incorrect error messages were getting generated. Solution: The master agent was sending a malformed AgentX response packet back to the subagent after a notification request. The subagent detected this packet, which caused a restart; not all subagents are necessarily coded to detect such packets, so such and error might not cause a restart. The fixed master agent sends a properly formatted packet; also, error and warning messages are improved.

Solution: 1: When supplying devices to act against, the interface has been changed to pass the device unit number, not the address of its UCB. 2: The reference count is no longer used to control the permanence of the BG devices, the DELETEUCB bit is used instead. 3: Pass the BG device unit number instead of its address to socket_close. 4: Replace the BG UCB address with the device unit number for $CALLBACK. 5: Fix a problem with corruption of R3. 6: On last-channel-deassign, a non-AUTOCONNECT PERMANENT (outbound) session which is disconnected should be scheduled for deletion.

Solution: Correct SHOW DEVICE_SOCKET /HOST qualifier support to work with IPv6 addresses. Reference: TCPIP_BUGS Note 2068 ECO B 23-FEB-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$UCP.EXE V5.1-15B Problem: 1. UCP's SHOW NFS_SERVER command fails to display Version 2 and Version 3 performance counters when specified using the /VERSION qualifier. 2. UCP's SET NFS_SERVER /UID_DEFAULT=n /GID_DEFAULT=m command fails to correctly form command line strings for SYSCONFIG utility. Command options aren't handled as separate command line "words". Solution: 1. Fixed tcpipcp$show_nfs routine to correctly display Version 2 and Version 3 NFS Server performance counters when specified using the /VERSION qualifier. 2. Fixed tcpipcp$set_nfs routine to correctly construct SYSCONFIG's command line string by breaking it into words and quoting each "word" before inserting it into command line string. Reference: TCPIP_BUGS Note 2073 TCPIP_BUGS Note 2080 ECO C 23-FEB-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$UCP.EXE V5.1-15C Problem: TCP/IP Services doesn't support SMTP as an IPv6 capable service. Solution: Modified UCPs service database module and the V5.1 rollover command procedure to add support for SMTP as an IPv6 capable service. Reference: TCPIP_BUGS Note 2075 ECO D 23-FEB-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$UCP.EXE V5.1-15D Problem: 1. Using the /THREADS qualifier with UCP's SET NFS_SERVER command has no effect. 2. UCP's SET NFS_SERVER command qualifier, /DISABLE=NOPROXY, does not reset the underlying "noproxy_enabled" SYSCONFIG attribute. Solution: 1. Fixed tcpipcp$set_nfs routine to obsolete the /THREADS qualifier for SET NFS_SERVER command. 2. Fixed tcpipcp$set_nfs routine to correct operation of /DISABLE=NOPROXY qualifier - reset "noproxy_enabled" SYSCONFIG attribute. Reference: TCPIP_BUGS Note 2154 TCPIP_BUGS Note 2155 ECO E 23-FEB-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$UCP.EXE V5.1-15E Problem: When invoked from an unprivileged user account and/or from a privileged user account without enabling NETMBX privilege, UCP gives misleading error messages. Solution: Modified tcpipcp$$assign_inet routine to correctly handle NONETMBX return status from sys$assign system service when assigning BG0 device channels. Reference: TCPIP_BUGS Note 2178 ECO G 11-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$UCP.EXE V5.1-15G Problem: UCP's SET ARP command fails to correctly report parameter errors. For example, the SET ARP command, shown here with a bad hardware address parameter, outputs the following error messages: $ tcpip set arp 10.11.1.101 0:0:f8:25:39:a8 %TCPIP-E-ARPERROR, cannot process ARP request as entered; see ARP documentation and reissue the command -TCPIP-E-INVPARM, invalid parameter value for Ethernet address -TCPIP-E-INVETHER, invalid Ethernet address: !AS Solution: Modified tcpipcp$set_arp routine (in tcpipcp$arp.b32) to: 1. Correctly report errors with SET ARP's 'mac_address' parameter 2. Correctly report errors with SET ARP's 'host' parameter Reference: TCPIP_BUGS Note 1495 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for COMPAQ TCP/IP Services V5.1 UCPLIB Images --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO 1 updates -------------- ECO A 11-MAR-2001 Alpha and VAX Images: TCPIP$ACCESS_SHR.EXE V5.1-15A Problem: TCPIP SHOW HOST was ACCVIO'ing in certain cases when retrieving the BIND database. Solution: NSLOOKUP was modified to deal with large DNS messages. Reference: PTR 70-5-1560 / CFS.80586 / Req Id: GB_G01030 PTR 70-5-1588 / CFS.81412 / Req Id: GB_G01110 INSTALLATION NOTES: The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is rebooted. If there are other nodes in the VMScluster, they must also be rebooted in order to make use of the new image(s). The DEC-AXPVMS-TCPIP_ECO-V0501-151-4.PCSI kit is installed using the PCSI utility. $PRODUCT INSTALL TCPIP_ECO /SOURCE=device-name Existing versions of the files being installed will not be preserved. If this is desired it must be done manually. To determine what files will be overwritten do a PRODUCT LIST of the kit. The ECO kit checks to ensure that a valid license is installed before proceeding. If one is not found, the installation aborts. Restart the installation after a valid license is installed. This DEC-AXPVMS-TCPIP_ECO-V0501-151-4 kit will install on the Alpha platform, and is supported with OpenVMS releases 7.1 through 7.2. No other platforms or OpenVMS releases are supported with this kit. POSSIBLE INSTALL PROBLEMS: There is a bug in the PCSI utility that ships in the following kits that will cause the install to fail: o DEC AXPVMS VMS V7.1-2 (OpenVMS Alpha V7.1-2) o DEC AXPVMS VMS V7.2 (OpenVMS Alpha V7.2) o DEC VAXVMS VMS V7.2 (OpenVMS VAX V7.2) o DEC AXPVMS VMS62TO71U2_PCSI V1.0 (PCSI ECO kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 through V7.1-2) o DEC VAXVMS VMS62TO71_PCSI V1.0 (PCSI ECO kit for OpenVMS VAX V6.2 through V7.1) The PCSI utilities in the kits listed above were all built from the same source code. They all identify themselves in the output from the PRODUCT SHOW UTILITY command as: "POLYCENTER Software Installation utility version: V7.2-100".
