New Kit Date : 28-JUN-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.pcsi-dcx_axpexe, then it can
be expanded by typing RUN kitname.pcsi-dcx_axpexe. 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 DCE V1.5 on OpenVMS VAX V6.2, V7.1 and V7.2.
This kit addresses the following problems:
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 After the installation of DCE V1.5 the IDENT, IDL, and RPCLM
commands are missing from the system command tables.
Images Affected: [syslib]DCLTABLES.EXE
o After the installation of Alpha DCE V1.5 ECO 1 on systems
without the DCE-SECURITY license loaded, dce_setup fails with
the following error:
**************************** ERROR ****************************
*** Images required for running the DCE V1.5 ECO 1 for OpenVMS Alpha
*** product were not found on this system. These images should have
*** have been placed on the system during the installation of this
*** product.
***
*** Please install the DCE V1.5 ECO 1 for OpenVMS Alpha product
*** to ensure that the required images are properly
*** installed on the system.
o The DCE$DTSD process aborts with the error CMA-F-EXCOPLOS and
a message of thread has been canceled.
Images Affected: [SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP.COM
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$SETUP.COM
o RPC authentication calls from NT DCE 2.2 clients fail with
Principal Unknown errors although the principal is listed in
the registry. The failures occur for principals and accounts
created from OpenVMS DCE.
Images Affected: [SYSEXE]DCE$RGY_EDIT.EXE
o Upon reboot of the system, startup hangs when one of the DCE
CDS daemon processes fails to start. Examination of the .OUT
file shows the start fails with a messages stating the daemon
is already running.
Images Affected: [SYSEXE]DCE$CDSADV.EXE
[SYSEXE]DCE$CDSD.EXE
[SYSEXE]DCE$GDAD.EXE
o Directory of sys$manager or sys$scratch lists many
DCE_OUT*.tmp files.
Images Affected: [SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP.COM
[SYSMGR]DCE$RPC_STARTUP.COM
o When starting DCE on a system running Multinet the following
DCL message is displayed.
%DCL-W-UNDFIL, file has not been opened by DCL - check logical name
Images Affected: [SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP.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$LIB_SHR.EXE
o Allow the Credentials Cache Cleanup interval to be adjusted.
Every one hour, the sec_clientd daemons delete stale
credentials files out of the DCE credentials cache directory.
If run in debug mode, the daemon deletes the files every five
minutes. The interval is not adjustable. Changes were made
to make the interval adjustable between 5 minutes and one
hour. The interval cannot be greater than 60 minutes or less
than 5 minutes.
To set the interval, define the logical
FCC_CCACHE_CLEANUP_INTERVAL, to the number of minutes between
cache cleanups. The logical may be defined at the system
level, or may be defined in the sec_clientd startup command
procedure. If you change the interval while the security
client daemon is running, the new interval will be effective
after the next credentials cache cleanup.
Images Affected: [SYSEXE]DCE$SEC_CLIENTD.EXE
o After the installation of Multinet 4.1 B-X, DCE will not
configure.
Images Affected: [SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP_MULTINET.COM
o When a DCE server system failed or was shutdown, the security
client daemon on client systems would not fail over to replica
server systems. DCE applications running on the client
systems would be unable to refresh security credentials or
have tickets validated.
Images Affected: [SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP.COM
o When DEC C compiler version 6.2 is installed, compilation of
the IDL generated C code may result in the following error(s)
being displayed. Some DCE images were updated to fix extern
model mismatches detected by the new C compiler.

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 Only uppercase "I" is allowed for inaccuracy token input from
DTSCP. Only the lowercase string "inf" was valid for infinite
inaccuracy. These inputs should not be case sensitive.
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DTSS$SHR.EXE
[SYSEXE]DTSD.EXE
o The PC Name Service Interface daemon, process DCE$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
