HP Services Software Patches - alpramp01_061
 
NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
       on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
       The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe
       for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha.
 
       Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded
       by typing RUN compressed_file.  The resultant file will
       be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which
       can be used to install the ECO.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 and SEVMS Alpha V6.1.  

Note:  The sole purpose of this kit is to restore OpenVMS Alpha  V6.1  and
       SEVMS   ALPHA   V6.1   to   C2  and  B1  evaluated  configurations,
       respectively.  Specifically, this kit should only be  installed  on
       an  OpenVMS  Alpha  V6.1  system  built from the QA-MT1AA-H8.6.1 or
       SEVMS  Alpha  V6.1  built   from   the   QA-3DVAA-H8.6.1   software
       distribution  kits.   This kit is listed on the EPL and should only
       be applied to these base operating  system  kits,  which  are  also
       listed on the EPL.

       This kit should only be  applied  to  these  base  operating
       system  kits.  This kit should never be applied to any other system
       configuration,  including  these  base  systems  with   any   other
       installed TIMA kits or MUPs.

       An evaluated configuration can only be achieved if one of the  base
       systems   and   this   kit   are  installed  together.   Any  other
       configuration using this kit is not on the EPL.

Problems Addressed in the ALPRAMP01_061 Kit:

  o  This enhancement provides C2 security support to Alpha OpenVMS
     DECnet Phase IV.  These enhancements include:

     o  NCP Command Line Auditing

     o  Connection Auditing

     o  Privilege Auditing.


  o  The MC AUTHORIZE REM/IDENT command does not return  the  status
     it used to.  It now returns "1" even when the command fails.


     This problem is corrected in Alpha OpenVMS V6.2.

  
  o  A user with the READALL privilege should  be  able  to  read  a
     logical  name  table  to  which  access  is  otherwise  denied.
     However, this is failing with a NOPRIV error.


     This problem is corrected in Alpha OpenVMS V6.2.

  
  o  VMSINSTAL security change.

     This problem is corrected in Alpha OpenVMS V7.0.

  
  o  SEVMS tape handling  support  missing  from  VMSINSTAL.COM  and
     SPKITBLD.COM.   This lack of support prohibits the operation of
     VMSINSTAL/SPKITBLD on SEVMS systems using a tape drive  as  the
     source device.

     This problem is corrected in OpenVMS V6.2.

  
  o  MAC access was not  being  immediately  applied  when  outgoing
     links were defined.

     This problem is corrected in OpenVMS V6.2.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

In order for the corrections in this kit to take effect, the system
must be rebooted.  If the system is a member of a VMScluster, the 
entire cluster should be rebooted.
