OpenVMS VMS721H1_RPC-V0100 RPC ALPHA 7.2-1H1 ECO Summary
TITLE: OpenVMS VMS721H1_RPC-V0100 RPC ALPHA 7.2-1H1 ECO Summary
New Kit Date : 18-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.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for RPC on Alpha V7.2-1H1. This kit addresses the following
problems:
o The user is granted the option of setting the dump logical -
DCE$DUMP_DAEMONS. Based on the user's preference, code in
DCE$RPC_STARTUP.COM has been suitably modified to include the
dump facility.
Images Affected: [SYSMGR]DCE$RPC_STARTUP.COM
o Add a check for the logical DCE$MAX_USERS and modify the RPCD
daemon quotas accordingly.
Images Affected: [SYSMGR]DCE$RPC_STARTUP.COM
o DCE server processes such as DCE$SECD and DCE$CDSD, as well as
user written DCE servers sporadically abort with SS$_ACCVIO
when hit with a fast burst of client request activity.
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o The DCE$RPCD daemon generated thousands of error messages and
logged them into the DCE$RPCD.OUT file as:
(rpc) *** FATAL ERROR (receive_dispatch) Unexpected exception
raised at CNRCVR.C;2\587 ***
(rpc) *** FATAL ERROR (rpc__cn_network_receiver) Unexpected
exception is raised at CNRCVR.C;2\398 ***
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o A process using DCE RPC services aborts with a bugcheck
similar to the one below:
DECthreads bugcheck (version V3.15-262), terminating execution.
% Reason: mutex 0x00000000005DD868 :0 ref. overflow on lock
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o A new logical has been defined to allow customers to have the
DCE daemon files produce process dumps. The logical name
DCE$DUMP_DAEMONS can be defined prior to DCE startup to add
the /DUMP qualifier to the daemon process. Process dumps can
only be reliably produced and read on Alpha V7.2-1 systems.
You must install special debugger kit ADB073 on your V7.2-1
for the DCE dumps to be usable. Please contact your Compaq
support representative to a copy of the ADB073 kit.
Images Affected: [SYSMGR]DCE$RPC_STARTUP.COM
[SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP.COM
o A directory of SYS$MANAGER or SYS$SCRATCH lists many
DCE_OUT*.tmp files.
Images Affected: [SYSMGR]DCE$RPC_STARTUP.COM
o Eliminate zero block files left in the credentials cache
directory. When a dce_login is performed, six files are
created in the credentials cache directory,
DCE$SPECIFIC:[VAR.SECURITY.CREDS]. An example is the
following files:
16 029D9101.;2 1-OCT-1998 15:28:18.37
17 029D9101.;1 1-OCT-1998 15:28:17.76
18 029D9102.;1 1-OCT-1998 15:28:19.27
19 029D9200.;1 1-OCT-1998 15:28:19.02
20 029D9200.DATA;1 1-OCT-1998 15:28:19.38
21 029D9200.NC;1 1-OCT-1998 15:28:19.18
After a kdestroy, two files remain from the original login.
In the login example above, the following files are left:
16 029D9101.;1 1-OCT-1998 15:28:17.76
17 029D9102.;1 1-OCT-1998 15:28:19.27
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o DCE login fails when the input for the password is not
obtained from a terminal. The login fails with the error
below:
$ rgy_edit
Current site is: registry server at /.../the_cell/subsys/DCE/
sec/master l princ_name
-DCE-
login: Credentials cache I/O operation failed XXX Error in input
password. Login failed.
exit
bye
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o DECnet RPC routines did not correctly update RPC memory usage
statistics used for troubleshooting.
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
[SYSLIB]DCE$SOCSHR_DNET_OSI.EXE
o The is_local call did not work on DECnet OSI interface.
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$SOCKSHR_DNET_OSI.EXE
o Attempting to start a DCE server with a well known endpoint,
such as RPCD (port 135) or PERF server (port 2001) fails with
"unable to bind socket" error, when TCP shows there is no
process using the port.
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o When many clients attempt to connect to one server, the server
may not be able to accept the connections as fast as the
clients are requesting.
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o The PC Name Service Interface daemon, process DCE$NSID, fails
to start on systems that support DECnet as an RPC protocol.
Typing the DCE$LOCAL:[000000.VAR.DIRECTORY]DCE$NSID.OUT file
shows the process failed with the error message below:
INFO - manage_server_key thread created
INFO - tcp_protseq_ok true
Error - rpc_server_use_protseq (ncacn_dnet_nsp): cannot listen on socket
(DCE /
