 This patch contains a solution for the following issue:

 Compaq has advised owners of DS10, DS10L, ES40 AlphaServers, and XP900
 AlphaStations that Compaq has determined in laboratory testing that there is a
 theoretical possibility that during read and write operations to the floppy
 disk on these systems, a single byte of data may be inaccurately read or



 1-2 Release Notes








 written without notice to the user or system.  The potential for this anomaly
 exists only if floppy disk read or write operations are attempted while there
 is extremely heavy traffic on these Alpha systems' internal input/output
 busses.

 Although Compaq has observed the anomaly only in laboratory tests designed to
 create atypical system stresses, including almost constant use of the floppy
 disk drive, Compaq has informed owners of the remote possibility that the
 anomaly could occur so that they may take precautions to prevent it.

 Compaq recommends that the solution be installed by all DS10, DS10L, ES40
 AlphaServers, and XP900 AlphaStation customers.

 The solution to this issue is also available as an individual, manually

    existing kernel configuration file which will not have the appropriate
    controller entry for the new graphics card.


 5. Save the old ////vvvvmmmmuuuunnnniiiixxxx file and move the new kernel to ////vvvvmmmmuuuunnnniiiixxxx.

 If you remove this patch from your system after you have rebuilt the kernel to
 incorporate support for the new Ethernet card as described previously, you
 will need to rebuild the kernel.  To do this, follow the steps given
 previously.  Theddddooooccccoooonnnnffffiiiigggg running on the original, unpatched genvmunix will not

 This patch provides the driver support for the PCI To Ethernet/Graphics Combo
 Adapter (3X-DEPVD-AA) (also known as the ITI6021E Fast Ethernet NIC 3D Video
 Combination Adapter, InterServer Combo, or JIB).  In order to obtain full
 support for the PCI To Ethernet/Graphics Combo Adapter (3X-DEPVD-AA), you must
 also select Patch 1147.00, which is the X server portion of the patch.

 If you have a system with this adapter, you will need to reconfigure and

 +o  Using the ----dddd option, a user can choose the location where the bbbbttttccccrrrreeeeaaaatttteeee
    command creates its temporary files.

    Previously, bbbbttttccccrrrreeeeaaaatttteeee was used to create its temporary files in the ////uuuussssrrrr
    filesystem and required about 156000 blocks (512 bytes per block) of disk
    space in the////uuuussssrrrr filesystem.  Now the user has the option of using free
    disk space anywhere on the system.

    In the following example, the temporary files will be created at
    ////mmmmnnnntttt////bbbbtttt____ttttmmmmpppp:

 NAME

   queuedefs - Queue description file for at, batch, and cron commands

 DESCRIPTION

   The queuedefs file describes the characteristics of the queues managed by
   cron or specifies other characteristics for cron. Each non-comment line in
   this file describes either one queue or a cron characteristic. Each
   uncommented line should be in one of the following formats.

             q.[njobj][nicen][nwaitw]
             max_jobs=mjobs



                                                   Release Notes 1-7








             log=lcode

   The fields in these line are as follows:

         q   The name of the queue. Defined queues are as follows:

         a   The default queue for jobs started by at

         b   The default queue for jobs started by batch

         c   The default queue for jobs run from a crontab file

         Queues d to z are also available for local use.

   njob  The maximum number of jobs that can be run simultaneously in the
         queue; if more than njob jobs are ready to run, only the first njob
         jobs will be run. The others will be initiated as currently running
         jobs terminate.

   nice  The nice(1) value to give to all jobs in the queue that are not run
         with a user ID of superuser.

   nwait The number of seconds to wait before rescheduling a job that was
         deferred because more than njob jobs were running in that queue, or
         because the system-wide limit of jobs executing (max_jobs) has been
         reached.

   mjobs The maximum number of active jobs from all queues that may run at any
         one time. The default is 25 jobs.

   lcode Logging level of messages sent to a log file. The default is 4.
         Defined levels are as follows:

         level-code   level

             0        None

             1        Low

             2        Medium

             3        High

             4        Full

   Lines beginning with # are comments, and are ignored.

 EXAMPLES

   The following file specifies that the b queue, for batch jobs, can have up
   to 50 jobs running simultaneously; that those jobs will be run with a nice
   value of 20. If a job cannot be run because too many other jobs are
   running, cron will wait 60 seconds before trying again to run it. All other
   queues can have up to 100 jobs running simultaneously; they will be run

   The following file specifies that a total of 25 active jobs will be allowed
   by cron over all the queues at any one time, and cron will log all messages

     On days when the daylight saving time (DST) changes, cron schedules
     commands differently from normal.

     The 2 rules described below specify cron's scheduling policy
     for days when the DST changes. First some terms will be defined.

     An AMBIGUOUS time refers to a clock time that occurs twice
     in the same day because of a DST change (usually on a day during Fall).

     A NONEXISTENT time refers to a clock time that does not occur
     because of a DST change (usually on a day during Spring).

     DSTSHIFT refers to the offset that is applied to standard time to
     result in daylight savings time. This is normally one hour, but can be
     any amount of time up to 23 hours and 59 minutes.

     The TRANSITION period starts at the first second after the DST shift
     occurs, and ends just before DSTSHIFT time later.

     An HOURLY command has a * in the hour field of the crontab entry.


     RULE 1: (AMBIGUOUS times)
     ---------



                                                   Release Notes 1-9








 ----------------      A non-hourly command is run only once at the first occurrence
       of an ambiguous clock time.

            o  A non-hourly command scheduled for 01:15 and 01:17
               will be run at 01:15 and 01:17 EDT on 10/25/98
               and will not be run at 01:15 or 01:17 EST.

       An hourly command is run at all occurrences of an ambiguous time.

            o  An hourly command scheduled for *:15 and *:17
               will be run at 01:15 and 01:17 EDT on 10/25/98
               and also at 01:15 and 01:17 EST.


     RULE 2: (NONEXISTENT times)
     ---------
 ------------------      A command is run DSTSHIFT time after a nonexistent clock time.

       If the command is already scheduled to run at the newly shifted time,
       then the command is run only once at that clock time.

            o  A non-hourly command scheduled for 02:15 and 03:15
               will be run once at 03:15 EDT on 4/5/98.

            o  A non-hourly command scheduled for 02:15 and 02:17
               will be run once at 03:15 and once at 03:17 EDT on 4/5/98.

            o  An hourly command scheduled for *:15 and *:17
               will be run once at 03:15 and once at 03:17 EDT on 4/5/98.


     Note:
     Cron's behavior during the transition period is undefined if the
     DST shift crosses a day boundary, for example when the DST shift
     is 23:29:29->00:30:00 and the transition period is 00:30:00->01:29:59.


     ---------
 ----------------------------------------------------------------    Here are sample DST change values (for Eastern US time EST/EDT).
     During the transition period, clock time may be either
     nonexistent (02:00-02:59 EST in Spring)
     or ambiguous (01:00-01:59 EDT or EST in Fall).

     Spring (April 5, 1998):
       DST shift:         01:59:59 EST  03:00:00 EDT
       transition period: 03:00:00 EDT  03:59:59 EDT
       DSTSHIFT:          1 hour forwards

     Fall (Oct 25, 1998):
       DST shift:         01:59:59 EDT  01:00:00 EST
       transition period: 01:00:00 EST  01:59:59 EST
       DSTSHIFT:          1 hour backwards

 The updated reference page sections for llllpppprrrr(1) follow:

 The printer log, lpr.log now reports the creation of files preceded
 by a dot (.) in the spooling directories.  Do not amend or delete
 these files as the printer subsystem manages their creation and
 cleanup.

 For initial use, Compaq recommends that you set the logging level
 to lpr.info.  If you have a problem that is escalated to technical
 support, the support organization will request lpr.log at the
 lpr.debug level.  This is because the DEBUG messages provide a
 detailed trace that can only be interpreted by reference to the
 source code and lpr.log will simply grow more quickly if DEBUG
 messages are logged. The lpr.info level provides a shorter report
 of an event, including any network retry messages and unusual
 occurences (which are not always errors).

 All changes to the status file of a queue, including reports of
 any files printed, are reported at the DEBUG level rather than the
 INFO level.  This reduces the rate of growth of the file and allows
 you to monitor and react to important events more quickly.  The
 WARNING level logs events that may need to be attended to, while
 the ERROR level logs hard (often fatal) errors.

 To modify the logging level, edit your /etc/syslog.conf file and
 change the lpr line to the required level, such as lpr.info as
 follows:

           lpr.info      /var/adm/syslog.dated

 Use the ps command to find the PID for the syslog daemon, and
 the following command to re-start syslogd:

           # kill -HUP

 A new set of log files will be created in /var/adm/syslog.

 This release note discusses the I/O Throttling/Smooth Sync Patch.

 Smooth Sync is for UNIX File System only.

 The new mount options are ssssmmmmssssyyyynnnncccc2222 and tttthhhhrrrroooottttttttlllleeee.  The ssssmmmmssssyyyynnnncccc2222 option enables an
 alternate smsync policy in which dirty pages do not get flushed until they
 have been dirty and idle for the smoothsync age period (the default 30 is
 seconds).  The default policy is to flush dirty pages after being dirty for
 the smoothsync age period, regardless of continued modifications to the page.
 Note that mmmmmmmmaaaapppped pages always use this default policy, regardless of the

 _T_U_N_I_N_G

 The purpose of this patch is to minimize system stalls resulting from a heavy
 system I/O load.  This patch introduces a smoothsync approach to writing
 delayed I/O requests and introduces I/O throttling.

 Using smoothsync allows each dirty page to age for a specified time period
 before getting pushed to disk.  This allows more opportunity for frequently
 modified pages to be found in the cache, which decreases the net I/O load.
 Also, as pages are enqueued to a device after having aged sufficiently, as
 opposed to getting flushed by the update daemon, spikes in which large numbers
 of dirty pages are locked on the device queue are minimized.

 I/O throttling further addresses the concern of locking dirty pages on the
 device queue.  It enforces a limit on the number of delayed I/O requests
 allowed to be on the device queue at any point in time.  This allows the
 system to be more responsive to any synchronous requests added to the device
 queue, such as a read or the loading of a new program into memory.  This may
 decrease the duration of process stalls for specific dirty buffers, as pages
 remain available until placed on the device queue.

 The relevant tunable variables are:

 ssssmmmmooooooootttthhhhssssyyyynnnncccc----aaaaggggeeee

 This variable can be adjusted from 0 (off) up to 300.  This is the number of
 seconds a page ages before becoming eligible for being flushed to disk via the
 smoothsync mechanism.  A value of 30 corresponds to the "guarantee" provided
 by the traditional UNIX update mechanism.  Increasing this value increases the

 exposure of lost data should the system crash, but can decrease net I/O load
 (to improve performance) by allowing the dirty data to remain in cache longer.
 In some environments, any data that is not up-to-date is useless; these are
 prime candidates for an increased smoothsync-age.  The default value of

 The greater the number of requests on an I/O device queue, the longer the time
 required to process those requests and make those pages and device available.
 The number of concurrent delayed I/O requests on an I/O device queue can be
 throttled by setting the iiiioooo----tttthhhhrrrroooottttttttlllleeee----sssshhhhiiiifffftttt tunable.  The throttle value is
 based on this tunable and the calculated I/O completion rate.  The throttle
 value is proportional to the time required to process the I/O device queue.

 This is a toggle that trades off maximizing I/O throughput against maximizing
 the availability of dirty pages.  Maximizing I/O throughput works more
 aggressively to keep the device busy, but within the constraints of the
 throttle.  Maximizing the availability of dirty pages is more aggressive at
 decreasing stall time experienced when waiting for dirty pages.

   DESCRIPTION

   OLD>  The quotacheck command examines each specified file system, builds a
         table of current disk usage, and compares this table against that
         stored in the disk quota file for the file system.  If any
         inconsistencies are detected, both the quota file and the current
         system copy of the incorrect quotas are updated.  Each file system
         must be mounted with quotas enabled.

         inconsistencies are detected, both the quota file and the current
         system copy of the incorrect quotas are updated.

   OLD>  The quotacheck command runs parallel passes on file systems using
         the number specified in the fsck field of the file system's entry in
         the /etc/fstab file.  The quotacheck command only checks file
         systems with pass number 1 or higher in the fsck field.  A file
         system with no pass number is not checked.

   NEW>  The quotacheck -a command runs parallel passes on file systems using
         the number specified in the /etc/fstab pass number field.  The
         quotacheck command only checks file systems with pass number 1 or
         higher in the fsck field.  A file system with no pass number is
         not checked.

   OLD>  For both UFS file systems and AdvFS filesets, you should assign the
         root file system a fsck field value of 1, and a value of 2 or
         higher to other file systems.  See fstab(4) for more information.

   NEW>  For both UFS file systems and AdvFS filesets, you should assign the

   OLD>  The quotacheck command checks only file systems that have the
         userquota or groupquota option specified in the /etc/fstab file.

   NEW>  The quotacheck command checks only file systems that are mounted.
         UFS file systems must also have userquota and/or groupquota options
         specified in the /etc/fstab file.  The userquota and groupquota
         options are only needed for AdvFS file systems if quotas are
         actually going to be enforced or if they are to be selected with the
         -a option.

 OLD>  When the system boots, the fsck program is automatically

         ``ro'' and that have a non-zero pass number are checked.
         File systems that have a pass number 1
         (usually only the root file system) are checked one at a time.

 This patch provides support for the Powerstorm 4D10T (ELSA Gloria Synergy)
 graphics card (SN-PBXGK-BB).  If you have a system with this graphics card,
 you will need to reconfigure and rebuild the kernel after installing this
 patch.  To do this, follow these steps::


 1. Shut down the system:

    #### ////uuuussssrrrr////ssssbbbbiiiinnnn////sssshhhhuuuuttttddddoooowwwwnnnn ----hhhh nnnnoooowwww

 2. Boot ggggeeeennnnvvvvmmmmuuuunnnniiiixxxx to single-user mode:

    >>>>>>>>>>>> bbbbooooooootttt ----ffffiiii ggggeeeennnnvvvvmmmmuuuunnnniiiixxxx ----ffffllll ssss

 3. After the system boots to single-user mode, mount the file systems, run the
    uuuuppppddddaaaatttteeee command, and activate the swap partition:

 4. Run ddddooooccccoooonnnnffffiiiigggg to create a new kernel configuration file and rebuild the
    kernel:

    existing kernel configuration file which will not have the appropriate
    controller entry for the Powerstorm 4D10T graphics card.


 5. Save the old ////vvvvmmmmuuuunnnniiiixxxx file and move the new kernel to ////vvvvmmmmuuuunnnniiiixxxx.

 6. Shut down the system:

 If you remove this patch from your system after you have rebuilt the kernel to
 incorporate support for the Powerstorm 4D10T graphics card as described
 previously, you will need to rebuild the kernel again to restore generic VGA
 graphics support.  To do this, follow the steps given previously.  The
 ddddooooccccoooonnnnffffiiiigggg running on the original, unpatched ggggeeeennnnvvvvmmmmuuuunnnniiiixxxx will not recognize the
 Powerstorm 4D10T graphics card and will include generic VGA graphics support
 in the resulting kernel.

 This new mmmmoooouuuunnnntttt option allows for disabling synchronous metadata writes on a
 specified filesystem.  The new mmmmoooouuuunnnntttt option name is ddddeeeellllaaaayyyyeeeedddd.

 To maintain the file system's consistency, UFS metadata (such as inode,
 directory, and indirect blocks) is updated synchronously by default.

 Metadata updates are typically performed synchronously to prevent filesystem
 corruption after a crash.  The trade-off for this filesystem integrity,
 however, is performance.  In some cases, such as a filesystem serving as a
 cache, performance (faster metadata update) is more important than preserving
 data consistency across a system crash; for example, files under ////ttttmmmmpppp or web
 proxy servers such as Squid.

 This means two things.  One is that multiple updates to one block becomes only
 one block write, as opposed to multiple writes of the same block with
 traditional synchronous metadata update.  The other is that users can
 experience much better responsiveness when they run metadata intensive
 applications because metadata writes will not go out to the disk immediately
 while users get their prompt back as soon as the metadata updates are queued.

 This ddddeeeellllaaaayyyyeeeedddd option should not be used on the //// or ////uuuussssrrrr filesystems.  It
 should be used only on filesystems that do not need to survive across a system
 crash.

 mmmmaaaalllllllloooocccc performance is enhanced for multithreaded applications.

 To make optimum use of the mmmmaaaalllllllloooocccc tuning features for performance sensitive
 applications, the developer needs to consult the Tuning Memory Allocation
 section of the mmmmaaaalllllllloooocccc (3) reference page.  In addition, three new tuning
 variables which are particularly important to multithreaded applications are
 added by this patch.  They are described below:

 _i_n_t ___d_e_l_a_y_e_d__f_r_e_e = _2;

 The variable ________ddddeeeellllaaaayyyyeeeedddd____ffffrrrreeeeeeee is used to cause the ffffrrrreeeeeeee(((()))) function to use a
 "delay slot" (of size one).  This means that any time you call ffffrrrreeeeeeee, it saves
 your pointer and actually frees what you last called ffffrrrreeeeeeee with.  This is
 intended to help avoid misuse of rrrreeeeaaaalllllllloooocccc, where the user frees a pointer and
 then calls rrrreeeeaaaalllllllloooocccc with it.  Since the delay slot is shared across all
 threads, this will not provide reliable protection for multithreaded
 applications.  It also means that it is accessed internally with atomic
 instruction sequences, which can create a bottleneck on multi-CPU systems.

 A value of 1 means only delay frees for single-threaded applications.  A value
 of 2 means delay for both single and multithreaded applications.  A value of 0
 turns this feature off for both classes of applications.  All other values
 cause undefined behavior.  It is recommended that all multithreaded
 applications try to use a value of 1.  The default value of 2 will change to 1
 in a future release.

 _i_n_t ___f_i_r_s_t__f_i_t = _0;

 The variable ________ffffiiiirrrrsssstttt____ffffiiiitttt is currently intended only for performance-critical
 multithreaded applications.  It should not be used with single threaded
 applications.  Its value is used to allow mmmmaaaalllllllloooocccc and aaaammmmaaaalllllllloooocccc to skip up to a
 larger internal cache list if the optimum node size list is found to be in use
 by another thread.  The allowed values are 0, 1, and 2.  Do not use any other
 value.

 A value of 0 disables this feature.  A value of 1 allows the next larger list
 to be used, and a value of 2 allows the next list after that to also be used
 (three lists in total).  Increasing the value of ________ffffiiiirrrrsssstttt____ffffiiiitttt can increase both
 execution speed and memory consumption of multithreaded applications making

 larger sized blocks.  The currently allowable values for this variable are 15,
 18, 21, 24, and 27.  Do not use any other value.  The given values correspond
 to lists containing nodes up to 632, 1272, 2552, 5112, and 10232 bytes in
 size, respectively.  The maximum length of the lists is determined by the

 Application requests for storage that can be satisfied from a node on a cache
 list typically happen somewhat faster than those that cannot.  Increasing the

 DESCRIPTION

 The amalloc family of routines provides a main memory allocator based on
 the malloc(3) memory allocator. This allocator has been extended so that
 an arbitrary memory space ("arena") can be set up as an area from which
 to allocate memory.

 Calls to the amalloc family of routines differ from calls to the standard
 malloc(3) only in that an arena pointer must be supplied. This arena pointer
 is returned by a call to acreate.

 acreate
     Sets up an area defined as starting at virtual address addr and extending
     for len bytes. Arenas can be either growing or non-growing.

     An arena that is non-growing is constrained to use only up to len bytes
     of memory. The grow_func parameter should be NULL in this case.

     If the arena is "growable", len specifies the original size (minimum of
     1K bytes) and the grow_func parameter specifies a function that will be
     called when the allocator requires more memory.  Note that the original
     buffer addr will be used only for the arena header; the first time more
     memory is required, the "grow" function will be called.  This suggests
     that a minimal (1K) original buffer should be used when setting up a
     growable arena.

     The grow function will be called with two parameters: the number of bytes
     required and a pointer to the arena requiring the space. The number of
     bytes requested will always be a multiple of M_BLKSZ (see     header file).
     The function should return the address of a suitably
     large block of memory.  This block does not need to be contiguous with
     the original arena memory. This block could be obtained from a number of
     sources, such as by mapping in another file (by means of mmap(2)) or by
     calling malloc(3) to enlarge the program's data space.  If the grow
     function decides that it cannot provide any more space, it must return
     (void*)-1.

     The ushdr function is currently unused and must be NULL.

   adelete
     Causes any resources allocated for the arena (for example, mutexes) to be
     freed. Nothing is done with the arena memory itself.  No additional calls
     to any arena functions can be made after calling adelete.

   amalloc
     Returns a pointer to a block of at least size bytes suitably aligned



 1-22 Release Notes








     for any use.

   afree
     Destroys the contents of a block previously allocated by amalloc,
     arealloc, or acalloc and makes this space available for future
     allocation. The argument to afree is a pointer to the block previously
     allocated by amalloc, arealloc, or acalloc.

     Undefined results will occur if the space assigned by any of the three
     arena allocator functions is overrun or if some random number is handed
     to afree. It is always permitted to pass NULL to afree.

   arealloc
     Changes the size of the block pointed to by ptr to size bytes and
     returns a pointer to the (possibly moved) block.  The contents will
     be unchanged, up to the lesser of the new and old sizes. In the special
     case of a null ptr, arealloc degenerates to amalloc.  A zero size causes
     the passed block to be freed.

   acalloc
     Allocates space for an array of nelem elements of size elsize. The space
     is initialized to zeros.

   amallocblksize
     Returns the actual size of the block pointed to by ptr.  The returned
     size may be greater than the original requested size.

   amallopt
     Provides for control over the allocation algorithm. The available
     values for cmd are defined in the  header file.

     The amallopt function can be called repeatedly but, for most commands,
     not after the first small block is allocated.

   amallinfo
     Provides instrumentation describing space usage. It returns the mallinfo
     structure defined in the  header file.  The structure is zero
     until after the first space has been allocated from the arena.

 Each of the allocation routines returns a pointer to space suitably aligned
 for storage of any type of object.

 RETURN VALUES

 The acreate function returns NULL and sets errno if either len is less than
 1K or the MEM_SHARED flag is passed.

 The amalloc, arealloc, and acalloc functions return a NULL pointer if there
 is not enough available memory.  When arealloc returns NULL, the block
 pointed to by ptr is left intact. If amallopt is called after any
 allocation (for most cmd arguments) or if cmd or value is invalid, non-zero
 is returned.  Otherwise, it returns zero.

 The purpose of this patch is to increase performance with sequential reads.
 This patch introduces a new enhanced round robin mode where the last block
 read is now compared to the next block to read and a check is added to see if
 last block number - next block number is less than or equal to
 llllssssmmmm____VVVV____RRRROOOOUUUUNNNNDDDD____eeeennnnhhhhaaaannnncccceeee____pppprrrrooooxxxxiiiimmmmiiiittttyyyy.  If it is, read from the same plex.  This is to
 attempt to hit the disk cache, and so increase performance.

 The relevant tunable variables are as follows:

 This variable activates the new enhanced round robin read policy if it is set
 to TRUE (1).  Otherwise the policy is deactivated.

 NAME

   ttauth - ToolTalk authority file utility

 SYNOPSIS

   ttauth [[-f] | [authfile] ] [[-vqib] ] [[command arg ...] ]

 DESCRIPTION

   The ttauth program is used to edit and display the authorization
   information used in connecting to ToolTalk.  This program is usually used
   to extract authorization records from one machine and merge them in on
   another (as is the case when using remote logins or granting access to
   other users).  Commands (described below) may be entered interactively, on
   the ttauth command line, or in scripts.  Note that this program does not
   contact the ToolTalk server, ttsession.  Normally ttauth is not used to
   create the authority file entry in the first place; ttsession does that.

 OPTIONS

   The following options may be used with ttauth. They may be given
   individually or may combined.

   -f authfile
              This option specifies the name of the authority file to use.
               By default, ttauth uses the file specified by the TTAUTHORITY
               environment variable or the .TTauthority file in the user's
               home directory.




 1-26 Release Notes








   -q         This option indicates that ttauth should operate quietly and
               not print unsolicited status messages. This is the default if
               an ttauth command is given on the command line or if the
               standard output is not directed to a terminal.

   -v         This option indicates that ttauth should operate verbosely and
               print status messages indicating the results of various
               operations (for example, how many records have been read in or
               written out). This is the default if ttauth is reading commands
               from its standard input and its standard output is directed to
               a terminal.

   -i          This option indicates that ttauth should ignore any authority
               file locks. Normally, ttauth refuses to read or edit any
               authority files that have been locked by other programs
               (usually ttsession or another ttauth).

   -b         This option indicates that ttauth should attempt to break any
               authority file locks before proceeding. Use this option only to
               clean up stale locks.

 COMMANDS

   The following commands may be used to manipulate authority files:

   add protoname protodata netid authname authdata
               An authorization entry for the indicated ToolTalk session using
               the given protocol name (protoname), protocol data (protodata),
               ToolTalk session id (netid), authentication name (authname),
               and authentication data (authdata) is added to the
               authorization file. The protocol name should always be the
               string "TT". The protocol data should always be the empty
               string. The ToolTalk session ID is formatted string consisting
               of the ttsession program number, the ttsession authorization
               level, the IP address of the host running ttsession, and the
               RPC version number of the ttsession. See the TTSESSION
               IDENTIFIERS section below for information on constructing
               ToolTalk session ID's for the authority file. The
               authentication name should always be the string "MIT-MAGIC-
               COOKIE-1". The authentication data is specified as an even-
               lengthed string of hexadecimal digits, each pair representing
               one octet. The first digit of each pair gives the most
               significant 4 bits of the octet, and the second digit of the
               pair gives the least significant 4 bits.  For example, a 32
               character hexkey would represent a 128-bit value.

   [n]extract filename                  Authorization entries which match the specified fields are
               written to the indicated file. If the nextract command is used,
               the entries are written in a numeric format suitable for non-
               binary transmission (such as secure electronic mail). The
               extracted entries can be read back in using the merge and
               nmerge commands.  If the file name consists of just a single
               dash, the entries will be written to the standard output.




                                                  Release Notes 1-27








   [n]list                  Authorization entries which match the specified fields (or all
               if nothing is specified) are printed on the standard output.
               If the nlist command is used, entries are shown in the numeric
               format used by the nextract command; otherwise, they are shown
               in a textual format.  Key data is always displayed in the
               hexadecimal format given in the description of the add command.

   [n]merge [filename1  ...]
               Authorization entries are read from the specified files and are
               merged into the authorization database, superseding any
               matching existing entries. If the nmerge command is used, the
               numeric format given in the description of the extract command
               is used.  If a file name consists of just a single dash, the
               standard input will be read if it hasn't been read before.

   remove                  Authorization entries which match the specified fields are
               removed from the authority file.

   source filename
               The specified file is treated as a script containing ttauth
               commands to execute. Blank lines and lines beginning with a
               pound sign (#) are ignored. A single dash may be used to
               indicate the standard input, if it has not already been read.

   info        Information describing the authorization file, whether or not
               any changes have been made, and from where ttauth commands are
               being read is printed on the standard output.

   exit        If any modifications have been made, the authority file is
               written out (if allowed), and the program exits. An end of file
               is treated as an implicit exit command.

   quit        The program exits, ignoring any modifications. This may also be
               accomplished by pressing the interrupt character.

   help [string]
               A description of all commands that begin with the given string
               (or all commands if no string is given) is printed on the
               standard output.

   ?           A short list of the valid commands is printed on the standard
               output.

 TTSESSION IDENTIFIERS

   The ToolTalk session identifiers (netid) in the authority file and used by
   the add, [n]extract, [n]list, and remove commands are derived from the
   TT_SESSION identifier constructed by ttsession at startup.  The ttsession
   rendezvous with clients by writing the TT_SESSION identifier as a property
   on the root window or as an environment variable in the client's
   environment (see ttsession -c). In addition, ttsession creates an entry in
   the user's authority file.  The authority file entry has a netid component
   which is derived from the TT_SESSION identifier.




 1-28 Release Notes








   The TT_SESSION(STRING) = "01 1433 1342177279 1 1 2002 130.105.9.22 4"
   identifier is composed of the following elements:

                             = 01
                     = 1433
           = 1342177279
                             = 1
      = 1
                                = 2002
                           = 130.105.9.22
                   = 4

 The ToolTalk session identifiers (netid) in the authority file are composed
   of the ,  ,  <Host
   IP Address>, and  fields of the TT_SESSION identifier
   as follows:

   1342177279/1/130.105.9.22/4

 EXAMPLE

   The most common use for ttauth is to extract the entry for the current
   ttsession, copy it to another machine, and merge it into the user's
   authority file on the remote machine:

   % xprop -root | grep TT_SESSION

   TT_SESSION(STRING) = "01 1433 1342177279 1 1 2002 130.105.9.22 4"
   _SUN_TT_SESSION(STRING) = "01 1433 1342177279 1 1 2002 130.105.9.22 4"

   % ttauth extract - netid=1342177279/1/130.105.9.22/4 | rsh otherhost ttauth
   merge -

 ENVIRONMENT

   This ttauth program uses the following environment variables:

   TTAUTHORITY
               Gets the name of the authority file to use if the -
 f option is not used.

 FILES

   .TTauthority
               Default authority file in the user's home directory if
               TTAUTHORITY is not defined.

 RESTRICTIONS

   Users that have unsecure networks should take care to use encrypted file
   transfer mechanisms to copy authorization entries between machines.
   Similarly, the MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 protocol is not very useful in unsecure
   environments.  Sites that are interested in additional security may need to
   use encrypted authorization mechanisms such as Kerberos.

   Spaces are currently not allowed in the protocol name.  Quoting could be
   added for the truly perverse.

         are delivered even if the cookies do not match.  This is the
          default authorization scheme.  For "full security" use the -F
           option.  Refer to the ttauth(1) reference page for more
           information.

                            This patch fixes two system run level problems:



                            On a system running LSM, whenever there is a run
                            level change, the lsmbstartup script runs.  This
                            causes root to be mounted read/write in single-
                            user mode.

                            The bcheckrc command script continues to run
                            even if there is an invalid root entry.  This
                            leaves the system in an unusable state in
                            single-user mode.

                            This patch corrects the following:

                            occurs with the STREAMS Data Link Bridge (dlb)
                            pseudodevice driver.  This problem could cause a
                            "freeing free mbuf" panic when system memory is
                            exhausted.

                            This patch fixes a problem that occurs when more
                            than 140 users are logged on to a system and the
                            who command is issued.  If the output from the
                            command is redirected or piped, the last several
                            lines become corrupt.

                            This patch fixes a problem with the lex command.
                            Programs built with lex may exhibit various
                            problems which only occur after the following
                            warning:

                            command.  The volsave command returns an exit
                            status of 1 (failure), even when the LSM

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Fixes a problem that may cause a program to
                            cause the IEEE floating point emulator to emit
                            this message:

                            completion trap handler that slightly reduces
                            the IEEE denormalized multiply and divide
                            accuracy.  It has no effect on typical

                            This patch fixes an AdvFS problem.  When running
                            the ncheck utility with the -s option on an
                            AdvFS file system, the command never returns but
                            instead keeps using CPU cycles.  This problem
                            only occurs when there are no special files in
                            the file system.

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            The application builder (dtbuilder) core dumps
                            when changing the default button in the
                            revolving property editor.

                            Fixes a segmentation fault in dtbuilder that
                            occurs when a user tries to generate code using
                            a When: Dragged From action in conjunction with
                            the list object type.

                            On a system running LSM, whenever there is a

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Fixes a problem with the rmfdmn command.  The
                            command would fail when it attempted to rename
                            the domain to be deleted, so the domain was not
                            deleted.  However, the command returned success
                            for the operation.

                            Fixes a problem with the rmfdmn command, which
                            previously displayed success messages on the
                            standard error device instead of the standard

 Patch 271.02               PPPPaaaattttcccchhhh:::: savecore Command Correction

 OSF425-356-2               SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: Supersedes patch OSF425-054 (92.00)

                            This patch corrects the following problems:



                            Fixes a problem with the savecore command that
                            occurs when the primary swap device is an LSM
                            volume.  The system displays a cdcache_setup
                            error message.

                            Fixes a problem in which savecore incorrectly
                            reports a negative number of dumped bytes.  This
                            problem may be seen when doing a full crash dump
                            on a system that has more than 2 GB of memory.

                            This patch prevents the crontab file from
                            incorrectly deleting files found in file systems
                            mounted under the /var/preserve, /tmp, and

                            This patch fixes a compiler problem that was
                            causing CPU EXCEPTION errors to be generated in
                            the system binary error log.  The problem was
                            experienced during bootstrap on 2100A CPUs.

                            This patch fixes the following two problems with
                            realtime library:



                            A locking problem when calling sem_close() with
                            an invalid descriptor.

 Patch 327.02               PPPPaaaattttcccchhhh:::: dtksh Command Correction

 OSF425CDE-009-2            SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: Existing

                            This patch fixes a problem where dtksh (the
                            version of the Korn shell provided with the
                            Common Desktop Environment (CDE)) fails to
                            create windows on the local display and gives
                            the following error:

                            Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
                            Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
                            Error: Can't open display: :0.0


                            This problem affects the CDE applications that
                            use dtksh scripts such as dtlp, the file
                            printing utility, and the calendar and mail
                            database conversion utilities.  Because dtlp is
                            affected, printing from within many CDE
                            applications does not work (the printer-
                            selection window is not displayed).

                            This patch fixes a problem with the last(8)
                            command.  Users that have logged out of a system
                            are still listed as active in the /var/adm/wtmp
                            accounting file.

                            A potential security vulnerability has been
                            discovered in the tip command, where under
                            certain circumstances users may gain
                            unauthorized access.  Compaq has corrected this
                            potential vulnerability.

                            in which the leading zeros are truncated if
                            CMD_ENV is set to bsd.

                            of the Bourne shell may be slow when there are

                            This patch fixes a problem in which the dtterm
                            Terminal Emulator fails to send the DO and HELP
                            User Defined Keys when depressed.  It also fixes
                            a problem in which proper escape sequences for
                            F10, DO, and HELP were not being reported when
                            the keys were depressed.

                            This patch fixes the following problem in the
                            Bookreader library, which is part of the
                            DECwindows Motif toolkit.  When called from an
                            application, Bookreader changes the caller's
                            effective UID to the real UID, but then never
                            restores it to the original effective UID,
                            before returning control to the calling program.
                            If an application like dxchpwd is run from a
                            non-root account, it fails with a privilege
                            violation.

 Patch 429.00               PPPPaaaattttcccchhhh:::: Fix for doconfig -a And -m Options

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            The doconfig program incorrectly exits with a
                            zero return code if a failure occurs.

                            Fixes the doconfig command.  The -a and -m
                            options prompt the user if doconfig encounters a
                            failure.  The -a and -m options are supposed to
                            be non-interactive in a situation.

                               This patch corrects a problem when exiting an
                               llogin session.  If the user does not enter a
                               carriage return to display the shell prompt, the
                               llogin will process continue to run, consuming

                               potentially cause data corruption.

                               Fixes a problem with the curses library.  The
                               infocmp command dumped core because two curses

                               This patch corrects the following:



                               Fixes libtli/libxti to correctly handle a
                               continuation data message still on the stream
                               head.

                               Fixes a streams problem in libxti.  The
                               t_getprotaddr() function will cause a memory
                               core dump if either of its second or third
                               argument is NULL.

                               Fixes a problem in which an application using
                               the X/Open Transport Interface (XTI) and the
                               DECnet/OSI transport provider is unable to

                               be in the form of improper file or privilege

                               This patch corrects the following:



                               Fixes a problem when ATM ELANs are configured
                               and an ATM switch reboots.  This can cause a
                               temporary connectivity problem.  Hosts on
                               Ethernet segments may not be able communicate
                               with the DIGITAL UNIX ATM ELAN hosts until the
                               expiration of router ARP timers.

                               Fixes three ATM subsystem problems:



                               ATM UNI 3.0 will not allow UNI Version 3.1
                               connect setups.

                               In some cases incorrect data for the ELAN name
                               was being used causing DIGITAL UNIX to try to
                               join an invalid elan.

                               The utility, atmsetup(8), has been fixed to
                               allow the elan_name option to be set in
                               conjunction with the les option.



                               Fixes the conformance problem with the DIGITAL
                               UNIX LAN Emulation.  The DIGITAL UNIX LAN
                               Emulation client now complies with the LANE V1
                               spec when locating the LAN Emulation
                               Configuration Server (LECS).  The client now
                               asks the switch via ILMI for the ATM address of
                               the LECS.

                               Fixes an ATM LANE problem where the ARP table
                               grows significantly.

                               Fixes a problem in which systems that use the
                               DIGITAL UNIX ATM LANE interface may panic with
                               the following message:

                               kernel memory fault

                               instruction fault, and an ILMI cold start trap
                               from the ATM subsystem.

                               Fixes the following problems in the ATM
                               subsystem:



                               Creation of multiple ATM ELANS.

                               Duplicate PPA registrations to the CMM.

 Patch 658.00               PPPPaaaattttcccchhhh:::: Fix For ACE EISA Driver

 OSF425-623                 SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: Supersedes patch OSF425-527 (643.00)

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            When using tip or any other method over the
                            serial com lines to a receiver that sends
                            frequent xoff/xon, characters are randomly
                            repeated.

                            On a DECstation 2000/300, the second com port
                            (tty01) does not get configured.  An error
                            message, ksh: /dev/tty01: cannot create, is
                            displayed when the tty01 port is accessed.

                            Fixes a problem with the ACE EISA driver.  If an
                            ACE driver is configured in the kernel but not
                            found at device probe time, a call to the open
                            routine will crash the OS with a kernel memory

                            This patch fixes a problem in the DE20x driver.
                            On a system with a DE20x driver installed, the
                            system panics with a kernel memory fault the
                            moment the interface is connected to the

                            Fixes a problem in which syslogd will core dump
                            if /etc/syslog.auth file has greater than 23
                            lines.

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Provides the following bug fixes and performance
                            enhancements:



                            When signals causing pcnfsd to terminate or when
                            a SIGPIPE signal was not caught, pcnfsd would
                            exit without producing a core file.

                            The pcnfsd authentication would cause crashes
                            and memory corruption.



                            Fixes two problems in NFS:



                            When starting/stopping nfs, nfs was not checking
                            for NFS daemons running.

                            rpc.pcnfsd was causing core dumps when receiving
                            a SIGTERM signal.

                            x[0].

                            A compiler crash that occurred when a while loop
                            was coded using while ((pos - 1) > 0).  This
                            could be recoded as while (pos > 1).

                            An optimizer error that produced incorrect
                            results at run time when an initialization loop
                            was generated incorrectly if compiled -O4.



                            This patch fixes the following problems in the
                            DEC C compiler:

                            An optimizer problem that caused the reordering
                            of an ldx_l/stx_c sequence in an asm() call.

                            A compiler problem that produced bad code at
                            -O0, but not at the default optimization level.

                            A run-time problem that caused incorrect loop
                            behavior with a large integer limit.

                            A run-time problem that caused incorrect output
                            when compiled with the -O5 optimization level.

                            A run-time problem that caused incorrect output
                            when manipulating structures in a union.

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Fixes a panic seen when accessing the kio
                            subsystem (such as with consvar) with improper
                            arguments.  The panic was caused by a kernel
                            double-free, and would most likely be seen as a
                            corruption in either the 64-or 96-byte bucket
                            (buckets 2 and 16).

                            Fixes a problem where the command sysconfig -q
                            kio will return the following subsystem error:

                            function not implemented

                            (375.02)

                            This patch fixes the following problems with the
                            CDE Calendar Manager:



                            The calendar manager service daemon (rpc.cmsd)
                            core dumps when processing a calendar database
                            file containing invalid entries.  These invalid
                            entires would include remove entries that
                            specify non-existent keys.

                            Repeating appointments with a frequency of daily
                            are sometimes displayed incorrectly by the
                            calendar manager (dtcm).  Some appointments are
                            displayed an hour earlier or an hour later than
                            originally scheduled.

                            The calendar manager (dtcm) will complain that
                            it cannot connect to the calendar manager
                            service daemon (rpc.cmsd) and rpc.cmsd will
                            repeatedly start and die with constantly
                            changing PIDs.

                            A potential security vulnerability has been
                            discovered where, under certain circumstances,
                            system integrity may be compromised.  This may
                            be in the form of improper file or privilege

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Corrects a problem with the kdbx mbuf and socket
                            extensions.  The use of these extension on some
                            crashdumps resulted in errors and would hang.

                            Fixes a problem with kdbx.  The trace command
                            was showing all threads of a process when using
                            the option that should show only selected
                            threads.

                            Fixes a problem with kdbx.  A core file created
                            by kdbx was left in the root directory when
                            recovering from a system crash.

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Fixes kernel class scheduler race condition that
                            can leave a thread stuck without getting anymore
                            CPU time.

                            libclass.a: locking semaphore modified so that
                            if an application (class_daemon) exits while
                            holding the semaphore, the kernel will drop it
                            in the exit code.

                            Fixes a class_admin/class_daemon problem.  When
                            a PID had been added to a class it cannot be
                            removed from the class scheduler until the
                            process terminates or the class_scheduler has
                            been stopped.

                               the /usr/sbin/ris script:



                               It incorrectly queried the user for a gateway to
                               be used to serve a specific client when no
                               gateway was required.

                               It could fail if no default route had been
                               established.

 OSF425-774                    SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: Supersedes patches OSF425-400412 (71.00),
                               OSF425-400412-1 (71.01), OSF425-405193 (179.00)

                               This patch corrects the following:



                               A potential security vulnerability has been
                               discovered where, under certain circumstances,
                               system integrity may be compromised.  This may
                               be in the form of improper file or privilege
                               management.  Compaq has corrected this potential
                               vulnerability.

                               The rpc.statd process would sometimes disappear
                               without a trace.  The fix is to ignore SIGPIPEs
                               (triggered by statd behavior).  Also, this patch
                               catches and logs other signals that would
                               otherwise make rpc.statd disappear without a
                               trace.

                               Fixes a problem where rpc.statd hangs as it
                               tries to notify dead remote systems.

                               This patch fixes a problem in which mkfdmn
                               command was not showing any errors if volume

                               Corrects a problem with rsh(1) that is most
                               visible with long-distance (slow) links where a

                               Fixes rsh(1) hanging forever in select().

 OSF425-818                    SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: Supersedes patches OSF425-266 (195.00),

                               OSF425-678 (702.00)

                               This patch fixes the following problems:



                               Corrects a problem where the code around
                               referencing a tape device pointer is not
                               synchronized and a kernel memory fault results.

                               Implements the READ POSITION and LOCATE commands
                               in the tape driver.  Added new ioctl MTIOCRDPOS
                               and new MTSEEK, MTSEEKDS subcommands to
                               MTIOCTOP.

                               Fixes a problem with magnetic tapes.  A read
                               with a byte count smaller than the tape's
                               blocksize returns success but sets the eei
                               status.  A subsequent failed operation sees the
                               read eei status rather than its own.

                               Fixes the problem where the tapex -L command
                               would report failure when run on certain
                               devices.  The failure would be reported when the
                               command was run on certain TLZ09 devices,
                               depending on the firmware.

                               Fixes a problem which could result in unit
                               attention status being missed.

                               either an incomplete compressed file and loss of
                               the original uncompressed file, or an incomplete

                               OSF425-405412-2 (367.02), OSF425-432 (419.00)

                               This patch corrects the following:



                               Fixes a problem that occurs on SMP systems using
                               LSM in which the system panics with a "simple
                               lock time limit exceeded" message.

                               Fixes a problem in LSM.  A data corruption
                               occurs when readv/writev coallesced via physio
                               while in read/writeback mode.

                               Corrects the following problems:



                               voltrace sometimes prints records out of
                               sequence.

                               volsetup fails to add disks to LSM because the
                               volboot file is full.

                               vold dumps core when a user attempts to add a
                               257th configuration copy to a disk group.

                               Fixes a performance problem for round robin
                               sequential reads on LSM mirrored volumes.

                            This patch corrects two problems in AdvFS
                            property list handling:



                            Creation of property list entries in AdvFS
                            filesets with no available mcells will result in
                            kernel memory fault (kmf).

                            The get_proplist_entry function (used to
                            disassemble the property list buffer returned by
                            the getproplist system call) returned incorrect
                            name length on property list names longer than

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Provides support in the Common Desktop
                            Environment for the Euro currency symbol using
                            the UTF-8 Unicode locale.

                            Adds the ISO8859-15 functionality to the main
                            Xresource file on the system and to the specific
                            dtlogin resource file.  With these changes, X

                            integrated directly into the application.

                            Adds Catalan (ISO8859-15) to the list of
                            languages from which users can choose when
                            logging in.  The additional item identifies the
                            Catalan Latin-9 locale, that supports the Euro
                            currency sign.

                            This patch corrects the following problems:



                            Fixes the following problem in the Bookreader
                            library, part of the DECwindows Motif toolkit.
                            When called from an application, Bookreader
                            changes the caller's effective UID to the real
                            UID, but then never restores it to the original
                            effective UID, before returning control to the
                            calling program.  If an application like dxchpwd
                            is run from a non-root account, it fails with a
                            privilege violation.

                            Fixes a problem in which the svn widget of
                            libDXm.so creates identical backgrounds and
                            foregrounds.

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Implements Xlocales definitions which allow X
                            applications to run under the ISO8859-15
                            locales.  Using ISO8859-15 locales allows users
                            to enter and use newly defined ISO8859-based
                            characters such as the Euro monetary symbol.

                            Provides missing compose definitions when in
                            ISO8859-15 based locales for the scaron, Scaron,

                            Fixes a problem that prevents an X server from
                            starting.  The following error message is
                            displayed:

                            Make sure an X server isn't already running.


                            Fixes a memory leak in the X server when
                            processing ListExtensions() requests.

                            Fixes various problems with the X font server
                            and with the X server's interaction with X font

                            configuration of device drivers.  If more than
                            one adapter for that device driver exists in the
                            system and if one of those adapters fails the
                            configuration, the device driver is unloaded.
                            The adapter still uses the device driver code
                            causing the system to panic with an invalid
                            instruction fetch.

                            Fixes a problem with mapping a virtual address
                            on the AlphaServer 100A and AlphaServer 2100
                            machines.  The virtual address being mapped is
                            truncated due to an incorrect typecast.  This
                            caused the virtual address to have an incorrect
                            mapping.

                            Fixes a problem in which a PCI bridge-based boot
                            device may fail to configure on large IO
                            systems.

                            from firmware callback to OS console handling.

                            Fixes a "thread_block: interrupt level call"
                            system panic when logging into the console with

                            command displays the date incorrectly for the
                            year 2000.

 OSF425-906                 SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: Supersedes patches OSF425-388-2 (297.02),
                            OSF425-562 (597.00), OSF425-651 (681.00)

                            This patch fixes the following problems that may
                            occur on some DE500 adapters:



                            The hardware setup operation may interrupt a
                            pending ARP packet transmission.

                            If the cable to the adapter is not connected,
                            the hardware setup operation will not execute.

                            Fixes a problem with a DE504-BA device in an
                            AS800 system with a second SCSI controller on
                            the shared PCI bus.  Incoming datagrams and
                            messages are lost when the device resets and
                            stops working for approximately two seconds.

                            Fixes a problem in the tulip driver.  The tulip
                            driver needs to support DC21143-xD Errata V4.0
                            for ethernet connections.  This chip is
                            currently being used on the Compaq Professional
                            Workstation XP1000 (as well as several others in
                            the near future).

                            Corrects a problem with some DE500 interfaces
                            that use the Micro Linear ML6694F PHY.

                            This patch fixes the following problems:



                            Fixes a problem that can cause bad pages to not
                            be flagged during memory testing.

                            Fixes a situation on the AlphaServer 4100 where
                            a system heavily loaded with I/O traffic will
                            exhibit error messages from the environmental
                            monitoring subsystem, which are not in fact
                            errors.

                            Fixes a problem in which correctable memory
                            errors are being logged to the system console as
                            well as to the binary error log.

                            Fixes a problem on an AS800 where DMA with
                            memory >1 GB is done incorrectly.

                            Fixes a problem with pyxis systems.  These
                            systems generate extra interrupts when PCI
                            interrupts are processed.

                            Fixes a problem where the memory channel fails
                            at boot with either patch kit 4, 5, or 6
                            installed.

                            Fixes several problems specific to AlphaServer
                            1200 and AlphaServer 4100 systems:



                            The user.log file has the following message:

                            redundant power supply failure


                            The messages file has the following intermittent
                            messages:

                            ERROR: i2c_read_temp: enviromental monitoring error

 OSF425-940                 SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: Supersedes patch OSF425-295-2 (219.02)

                            This patch corrects the following problems:



                            Fixes the find command in which files in
                            directories which were mounted with the -fstype
                            nfsv2 argument were not found.

                            Fixes a problem with the find command.  Find
                            fails to show filenames that start with a
                            period.

                            OSF425-512 (449.00)

                            This patch fixes the following problems:



                            Backups made by the dump program on pre-V4.0D
                            systems were not being correctly restored by the
                            V4.0D restore program.  Specifically, ownership
                            was being set to root:system in all cases.

                            Fixes two restore utility problems that were
                            causing segmentation faults.  Additionally, the
                            restore utility now uses /var/tmp for temporary
                            files; previously, it had incorrectly used /tmp.

                            Fixes a problem in which the restore command can
                            fail with the following error:

                            Cannot malloc space for property list

 OSF425-955                 SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: Supersedes patches OSF425-400 (305.00),
                            OSF425-421-2 (322.02)

                            This patch fixes the following problems:



                            Fixes a problem that can cause a panic with the
                            message:

                            rm_failover_self


                            This panic occurs in a virtual hub environment
                            when the member with VH1 is powered off.  This
                            patch also contains general fixes for handling
                            Memory Channel errors.

                            Adds support for the Memory Channel 2 controller
                            in the TCR environment.

                            Fixes a problem in the Memory Channel driver
                            which could result in panics with rm-
                            inconsistent local spinlock structures being
                            logged.

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Fixes a problem in which an ATM CLIP connection
                            does not send data.

                            Fixes a kernel memory fault in atmip_proc_esi.

                            Fixes a problem that occurs on a system running
                            ATM.  The system panics with a "kernel memory
                            fault" due to a simple lock time violation.

                            Prior to the crash, the pvc flag is observed as
                            stale on a permanent virtual circuit.  The crash
                            occurs after the pvc is deleted with the
                            following command:

                            # atmconfig -pvc .....


                            Fixes an interoperability problem with CISCO
                            CLIP clients.

                            Fixes a problem in which systems that use the
                            Compaq Tru64 UNIX ATM CLIP interface may run out
                            of memory.

                            Fixes a kernel panic seen when running Classical
                            IP over the lfa ATM driver.  This panic would
                            only occur in lockmode 4.  If not in lockmode 4,
                            the symptom would be a CPU hang.

                            A potential security vulnerability has been
                            discovered where, under certain circumstances,
                            system integrity may be compromised.  This may
                            be in the form of improper file or privilege
                            management.  Compaq has corrected this potential

                            Fixes a problem where the X font server (xfs)
                            sometimes failed with a segmentation fault when
                            it received an invalid request.

                            Fixes various problems with the X font server
                            and with the X server's interaction with X font
                            servers.

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Fixes the following problems with the at -t
                            command:



                            The command did not work with user IDs that were
                            not in the password file.

                            The command did not work on the leap year of
                            2000.



                            Corrects several problems with the at, cron, and
                            crontab commands.

                            Fixes a problem with crontab where, when root
                            runs crontab -e user, the user's crontab file is
                            edited and saved, but is not reread by the cron
                            daemon.  Instead root's crontab file is reread.

                            A potential security vulnerability has been
                            discovered where, under certain circumstances,
                            system integrity may be compromised.  This may
                            be in the form of improper file or privilege

                            vulnerability.

                            Fixes a problem where some crontab jobs would
                            run multiple times in the same minute.

                            Fixes two cron problems:



                            The cron daemon does intensive logging and fills
                            up the disk.

                            system integrity may be compromised.  This may
                            be in the form of improper file or privilege
                            management.  Compaq has corrected this potential
                            vulnerability.

                            applications running on DIGITAL UNIX V4.0D.
                            This patch specifically addresses the areas of
                            thread scheduling, synchronization object
                            performance and SMP scalability.

                            DIGITAL UNIX.  Included in this patch are
                            changes to support Ladebug enhancements and a
                            bug fix for applications that employ SCS threads
                            of different priorities.

                            Addresses performance and scalibility issues for
                            highly contended threaded applications running

                            Fixes the following problems encountered when
                            using the Account Manager application
                            (dxaccounts):



                            When you move an accounts home directory,
                            symbolic links in the old home directory are
                            resolved and files pointed to by the links are
                            copied into the new home directory.

                            The userdel utility core dumps when attempting
                            to delete a user account that is running
                            enhanced C2 security.

                            When modifying an existing NIS "+" or NIS "-"
                            user account by turning off the NIS Overrides
                            toggle, the User ID field is incorrectly set to
                            0.



                            Fixes a problem where the account manager
                            graphical interface (dxaccounts) will core dump
                            on systems running enhanced security when
                            performing a Find Local User...  or Find NIS

                            specified.

                            Fixes a problem where dxaccounts allows the
                            colon (:) character to be accepted in the user
                            shell, home directory, fullname, office, office

                            Fixes a problem using templates for pre-expired
                            passwords.  When the administrator creates a
                            template and within the template chooses force
                            password change at the next login, the user is
                            not being asked to change his password as he
                            should.

                            Fixes the following problems:



                            userdel does not remove accounts from the
                            /etc/passwd file.  The userdel command displays
                            an error message stating the /etc/passwd file is
                            corrupted, when in fact it is not.

                            dxaccounts application does not allow users to
                            be added to groups with group ID lower than the
                            default minimum specified in the General Options
                            dialog.

                            Files in subdirectories in the /usr/skel
                            directory are not copied properly to the newly
                            created user's home directory.



                            Fixes a problem that causes the account
                            management commands (dxaccounts, useradd, and
                            usermod) to split long NIS group lines
                            incorrectly.  This causes a majority of users to
                            have improper access to files, directories, and
                            applications and also causes the newgrp command
                            to fail.

                            Fixes a problem where a large number of shells
                            in /etc/shells (greater than 10) can cause
                            dxaccounts to coredump or have unpredictable
                            behavior.

                            Fixes two situations in which the GUI account
                            management program (dxaccounts) will crash in a
                            Enhanced Security client environment when
                            attempting to copy a NIS user account.

                            /etc/passwd file does not end with the new-line
                            character (\n).

                            Fixes the problem where usermod -D can coredump
                            if an NIS group entry contains a large number of
                            users.

                            Fixes a problem in which the command usermod was
                            not allowing any commas in the comment field
                            when the current GECOS fields are filled.

                            Fixes a problem in which duplicate user
                            identifier (UID) is accepted at a second attempt
                            even if the no duplicate user identifier policy
                            is set.

                            Updates the error message displayed when Account
                            Manager fails to start due to the detection of
                            an Account Manager lock file
                            (/etc/.AM_is_running) on the system.

                            Fixes a problem in which dxaccounts does not
                            allow the system manager to add NIS users when
                            the system is running enhanced security.

                            Fixes the problem of enabling to change root's
                            login/uid through cli/dxaccounts utilities.

                            When issuing a useradd -D or usermod -D command
                            to view the account manager defaults, the
                            Inactive (days) value would always show the
                            character s rather than nothing when the
                            Inactive days status has been defeated with a -1
                            value.

                            Fixes the problem where usermod -g will lock the
                            user account if it is unlocked.

                            Fixes a problem where adding a NIS user via
                            useradd required that the user's primary group
                            exist in NIS as well.  The primary group does
                            not need to be in the NIS database when adding a
                            NIS user.

                            Fixes the problem in which a command usermod -D
                            does not display the Expire date when it is set.

                            Fixes a problem where the new home directory for

                            This patch fixes the following problems:



                            When managing a CDE session on an X terminal
                            from a DIGITAL UNIX system, and the X terminal
                            does not perform a normal logout, some of the
                            CDE processes on the DIGITAL UNIX system are
                            left running.

                            A potential security vulnerability has been
                            discovered where, under certain circumstances,
                            users may gain unauthorized access.  Compaq has
                            corrected this potential vulnerability.

                            Fixes a problem in the X Display Manager (xdm)
                            where XDMCP Indirect queries do not work.

                            Fixes various Minor System Faults (MSFs) in the
                            X Toolkit library (libXt).

                            Fixes the memory leak in the Motif text widget
                            when changing colors using XtVaSetValues().

                            Fixes a small memory leak in the Motif text
                            widget.

                            Fixes the Motif tear-off menu core dump problem.
                            The problem is seen when the tear-off menu from
                            a pull-down menu is closed/destroyed.

                            Fixes a problem with Motif Drag-and-Drop where,
                            if a parent drop site was unregistered before a
                            child drop site, subsequently unregistering the
                            child drop site would cause a segmentation
                            fault.

                            Provides suppport in the X11 Environment for the
                            Euro currency symbol using the UTF-8 Unicode
                            locales.

                            Fixes a problem with the toggle button where, if
                            a display is closed and reopened, then the X
                            Server may generate an "Invalid Pixmap Error".

                            Fixes a memory leak in the X Toolkit library
                            (libXt).  This memory leak could be seen by
                            applications that create and destroy many Motif
                            ScrolledWindow widgets.

                            Prevents a potential core dump from the X11
                            library when running an input method server for
                            Japanese, Chinese, or Korean.

                            Fixes various memory leaks in the X Window
                            System's X Toolkit library (Xt) that could occur
                            when creating and destroying Motif List, Text,
                            and TextField widgets.

                            This patch fixes the following problems:



                            Fixes a problem caused by the advscan -r
                            command.  The command would link LSM volumes to
                            the raw device instead of the block device when
                            it attempted to recreate LSM volume links.  As a
                            result, the directory for the domain name in the
                            /etc/fdmns file was incorrect and data
                            corruption occurred.

                            Fixes a problem in which the advscan -a command
                            causes a memory fault (core dump) while
                            processing LSM volumes.

                            Fixes a problem where advscan -a -g does not
                            display bootable partitions properly.

                            This patch fixes the following problems with the
                            mv command:



                            An invalid error message appears when attempting
                            to move files in which the source name is the
                            same as the destination name.

                            Using mv -i to rename a symlink pointing to a

                            different user results in the prompt:

                            Ownership of y will change. Continue?


                            When moving a file from one filesystem to
                            another, the mv command will copy the file
                            rather than using the rename() system call.
                            This can result in file loss.

                            Corrects the problem with the mv(1) command
                            deleting files in the directory when the user
                            moves a directory to itself.

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Fixes a problem where dtmail can core dump when
                            there exists long lines in Sun Mail Tool
                            attachments.  This causes a buffer overflow.

                            Fixes the problem where dtmail corrupts binary
                            attachments that are sent as Sun Mail Tool
                            attachments.

                            Fixes a problem where the CDE mail interface
                            (dtmail) does not display the date and time of
                            mail messages in the Message Header list when
                            the time zone is set to certain time zones such
                            as GB-Eire.

                            A potential security vulnerability has been
                            discovered where, under certain circumstances
                            users may gain unauthorized access.  Compaq has
                            corrected this potential vulnerability.

                            Fixes a dtmail problem in which a From line with
                            quotes in it incorrectly finds the date of the
                            mail message.  This error is displayed on the
                            main screen under the header Date and Time and
                            shows up as Dec.  31 or as a blank field.

                            (151.00), OSF425CDE-005-2 (326.02)

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Fixes a problem in which the Desktop Window
                            Manager (dtwm) causes a segmentation fault when
                            users try to log into CDE.  This can occur if
                            the user has disabled personal customization of
                            items on the CDE front panel via the LOCKED True
                            statement in a dtwm.fp file.

                            Fixes a problem in which deleting applications
                            (icons) from some subpanels hangs the CDE Window
                            Manager.  The subpanels affected are Calendar,
                            Mail, and Desktop Style subpanels.

                            Fixes a problem in which the Window Manager
                            (dtwm) intermittently hangs on a system which
                            uses multiple displays.

                            This patch fixes several problems in the tapex
                            utility.  Accuracy of performance tests has been
                            improved, the tapex exit status has been
                            corrected, and tapex was fixed to determine eom
                            status in Command Timeout Test and exit with
                            non-0 status to indicate failure.

                            This patch corrects a problem whereby the
                            assembler would generate incorrect error
                            messages for source programs which produce a mix
                            of hand-coded and assembler-generated relocation
                            operands.

 OSF425-980                 SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: Supersedes patch OSF425-400478-1 (76.01)

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            When printing using DIGITAL UNIX LAT (V4.0 or
                            later) to a printer connected to a PC running
                            Pathworks, an "I/O error" message is displayed
                            and nothing is printed.

                            Corrects a problem in the LAT driver which
                            caused improper processing of the ioctl TCSBRK
                            as well as the generation of spurious characters
                            when the libc routine tcdrain() was used.

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            A potential security vulnerability has been
                            discovered where, under certain circumstances,
                            system integrity may be compromised.  This may
                            be in the form of improper file or privilege
                            management.  Compaq has corrected this potential
                            vulnerability.

                            Corrects the problem so mailx(1) will work
                            correctly if -r and -s flags are used together.

                            Fixes a problem where dtlogin may incorrectly
                            set the permissions of /var to 775.  It also
                            fixes a problem where dtlogin may incorrectly
                            set the umask to 002 for csh users.

                            Fixes a problem where the Common Desktop

                            selected the Command Line Login option and
                            logged in, sometimes the CDE login screen would
                            be redisplayed before you had logged out.

                            This patch fixes the following problems:



                            Fixes a problem with Enhanced Security not
                            handling a voucher correctly from some other
                            security mechanism such as DCE.  The scenario to
                            reproduce the problem is as follows:

                            A user incorrectly enters his username at the
                            first login: prompt, but subsequently corrects
                            the login name when prompted again after the
                            first failure.  Without this patch, the user,
                            upon successfully typing their login/password on
                            the second try, would still receive the message
                            "login incorrect".

                            Resolves a problem in Enhanced Security where
                            users could be locked out when an expiration
                            interval was set such that it exceeded the
                            maximum calculable date.

                            A potential security vulnerability has been
                            discovered, where, under certain circumstances,
                            system integrity may be compromised.  This may
                            be in the form of improper file or privilege
                            management.  Compaq has corrected this potential
                            vulnerability.

                            Fixes a problem of libsecurity producing a core
                            file when handling error conditions.

                            Fixes a problem when the superuser tries to
                            change the shell or finger information of
                            another user when C2 Enhanced Security is
                            installed.

                            Fixes a problem with logins in a DCE/C2
                            environment.  The user could encounter an error
                            "Bad priority setting" if there is a u_priority
                            setting used in /etc/auth/system/default file.

                            Corrects a problem with the rsh command
                            displaying a warning message instead of the rsh
                            command output when C2 security is configured.

                            DECnet, C2 and NIS.  When invoking edauth(8) ,
                            the error: "Must be on NIS master server to
                            update entry for " is returned.

                            Fixes a problem for Enhanced Security
                            configurations where the Maximum Login Interval
                            (u_max_login_intvl) field was being ignored for
                            account templates.

 Patch 1119.00              PPPPaaaattttcccchhhh:::: Security (SSRT0588U, SSRT0642U)

 OSF425-1005B               SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: Supersedes patches OSF425-182B-2
                            (176.02), OSF425-433B (425.00), OSF425-524B
                            (452.00), OSF425-725B (771.00), OSF425-820B
                            (905.00), OSF425-852B (906.00), OSF425-859B
                            (1022.00), OSF425-971B (1117.00)

                            This patch fixes the following problems:



                            Resolves a problem in Enhanced Security where
                            users could be locked out when an expiration
                            interval was set such that it exceeded the
                            maximum calculable date.

                            A potential security vulnerability has been
                            discovered, where, under certain circumstances,
                            system integrity may be compromised.  This may
                            be in the form of improper file or privilege
                            management.  Compaq has corrected this potential
                            vulnerability.

                            Fixes a problem of libsecurity producing a core
                            file when handling error conditions.

                            Fixes a problem when the superuser tries to
                            change the shell or finger information of
                            another user when C2 Enhanced Security is
                            installed.

                            Fixes a problem with logins in a DCE/C2
                            environment.  The user could encounter an error
                            "Bad priority setting" if there is a u_priority
                            setting used in /etc/auth/system/default file.

                            Corrects a problem with the rsh command
                            displaying a warning message instead of the rsh
                            command output when C2 security is configured.

                            This patch fixes a problem that was causing
                            diskconfig to issue the error message "can't
                            read tminor: no such variable" upon startup.

 Patch 1123.00              PPPPaaaattttcccchhhh:::: Fix for FDI floppy driver

 OSF425-1042                SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: Supersedes patch OSF425-763 (814.00)

                            This patch fixes a problem in the FDI floppy
                            driver.  A recursion problem causes a stack
                            overflow resulting in the system halting for
                            certain commands to the block device.  Compaq
                            has determined in laboratory testing that there
                            is a theoretical possibility that during read
                            and write operations to the floppy disk on DS10,
                            DS10L, and ES40 AlphaServers, and VS10 and XP900
                            AlphaStations, a single byte of data may be
                            inaccurately read or written without notice to
                            the user or system.  The potential for this
                            anomaly exists only if floppy data read and
                            write operations are attempted while there is
                            extremely heavy traffic on these Alpha systems'
                            internal input/output busses.  Although Compaq
                            has observed the anomaly only in laboratory
                            tests designed to create atypical system
                            stresses, including almost constant use of the
                            floppy disk drive, we are supplying this patch
                            to address this potential issue.

 OSF425-1092                SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: Supersedes patches OSF425-405315-2

                            (985.00)

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Fixes an AdvFS problem that occurs when the
                            rmvol command is stopped before the commmand
                            successfully removes a volume from a domain.  As
                            a result, the showfdmn and addvol commands
                            interpreted the volume as still in the domain
                            (although with no data available) and a balance
                            operation returned the following AdvFS error
                            message:

                            get vol params error EBAD_VDI (-1030)


                            Fixes three /usr/sbin/lmf date problems:



                            LMF improperly handles 2-digit dates between
                            2000 and 2068.

                            When LMF is given two consecutive commands and
                            the first command contains a leap year date,
                            then the date for the second command is
                            automatically assumed to be in a leap year.

                            LMF did not recognize the date 29-FEB-2000.



                            Segmentation fault in /sbin/loadsrv.

                            In the License Management Facility, an incorrect
                            amount of memory is copied, which potentially
                            can cause data corruption.

                            This patch is required for users who wish to
                            view user stacktraces from full crash dumps with
                            dbx.

                            Corrects a problem where the /sbin/kloadsrv

                            process may hang and not respond to
                            /usr/sbin/netstat commands.  When this occurred,
                            the error reported by netstat was no namelist.

                            Fixes a problem in viewing a variable subrange
                            parameter from a Pascal module while using dbx.

                            Corrects a problem in AdvFS where unmounting a
                            domain that is already in a panicked state could
                            result in the following system panic message:

                            log_flush_sync: pinpg error\n N1 = 5


                            Corrects some error messages given when the
                            AdvFS utility verify(8) detects file errors.  It
                            also corrects a problem whereby verify was
                            unable to delete files with no directory
                            entries.

                            Fixes a problem with multi-volume domains with
                            large frag files.  Verify complains about frag
                            pages that are in sparse holes and therefore
                            will be read as a page of zeros causing the
                            domain to appear as if it was corrupt.

                            Fixes three problems in dbx:



                            Most instances of incomplete stack tracing now
                            show the whole stack.

                            Assignment to a variable would fail after
                            viewing a non-local symbol.

                            The use of vfork would raise a signal 66.

                            Fixes problems with the dbx kernel debug option
                            when used on kernel core files from large memory
                            systems.

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Restores proper functionality of the
                            /usr/bin/newfs command, which fixes several
                            problems with that command.

                            Fixes a problem with the newfs command.  When
                            the newfs -N command was run on a mounted file
                            system, it returned an error message similar to
                            "newfs: /dev/rrz0c: is marked in the disklabel
                            as in use by: 4.2BSD".

 Patch 1147.00

 continued
                            Allows kernel patching to fix a situation when
                            printing using LAT to slow printers; the end of
                            a large file fails to print, yet no error is
                            reported.

                            Fixes a problem in the streams code which could
                            have resulted in data corruption.

                            The ASDU netbeui server (nbelink) will not close
                            a connection.  It will hang in dlcb_close
                            awaiting a STREAMS event.  Subsequently, new
                            connections will not be able to connect to
                            nbelink.

                            Applications running System V pseudoterminal
                            slave pty can hang forever on open() system
                            call.

                            Fixes a problem that occurs on a system when
                            running STREAMS.  The system panics with the
                            following error message:

                            kernel memory fault


                            A call to the select() system call may hang or
                            incorrectly indicate that there is a message
                            waiting from a terminal when there is nothing
                            there.

                            Fixes a problem in which the system may panic
                            with the error message "kernel memory fault".

                            Fixes a problem in which the system panics with
                            one of the following error messages:

                            simple_lock: uninitialized lock


                            simple_lock_terminate: lock busy


                            Fixes a kernel problem where proper
                            locking/reference count management was not being
                            performed.  This could result in a "lock-
                            terminate:  lock held" system panic.

                            Fixes a problem in mountd where lines in the
                            /etc/exports file could be no longer than 1023
                            characters.  With this patch, a trailing
                            backslash character in the /etc/exports file

                            allows continuations beyond 1023 characters.

                            Fixes a problem in mountd.  The NFS server
                            allows read/write access to clients not on the
                            exports list and other clients to be incorrectly
                            denied access.

                            Fixes a problem with the mount command where it
                            sometimes kills other processes.

                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS that could cause thread
                            hangs or a system panic.

                            Provides a fix to avoid a panic that might
                            result when running a mixed filesystem behind
                            the HSZ70 RAID controller on the KZPSA-BB Fast10
                            Wide Differential Adapter in cluster
                            environments under DIGITAL UNIX V4.0D, in
                            conjunction with Version A11 (or greater) KZPSA
                            firmware.

                            Fixes a problem that occurs on AlphaServer 4100
                            systems.  If no devices are attached to the
                            KZPSA disk controller, the system may panic when
                            attempting to perform I/O.

                            Provides a set of workarounds for Qlogic
                            firmware bugs.  These bugs were encountered when
                            using the HSZ70 RAID Array Controller on the
                            KZPBA-CB wide differential UltraSCSI Adapter in
                            a dual-node cluster environment.

                            Fixes a panic with the following error message:

                             trap: invalid memory write access from kernel mode

 Patch 1147.00

 continued
                            Fixes a problem that occurs when KZPSA and KZTSA
                            hardware resources needed to do I/O are
                            unavailable causing a large number of events to
                            be logged.  The system can become sluggish and
                            sometimes crash.  This problem is seen on 8400
                            and 4100 systems with limited hardware scatter-
                            gather memory resources.

                            Fixes a problem in which a failed KZPSA adapter
                            panics the kernel.  It also fixes a problem in
                            which CAM status was returning an incorrect NO
                            HBA status for miscellaneous SIMPORT errors,
                            instead of the correct CAM BUSY status.

                            Corrects a problem that can result in a kernel
                            memory fault during heavy SCSI I/O, particularly
                            on a small-memory system.

                            Fixes the following problems that may occur when
                            using QLogic adapters:



                            Fixes "simple_lock: time limit exceeded" panics.

                            Fixes a problem in which adapter errors are
                            reported as disk errors.

                            Fixes a problem in which a processor may appear
                            to hang for long periods of time when doing
                            large, nonaligned, nonblock, multiple I/O
                            transfers.

                            Fixes a problem in which random memory
                            corruption problems may occur when a device
                            error is encountered and the device does not
                            have an entry in the DDR database.



                            Fixes a panic that occurs when KZPSA resources
                            are not available to re-enable a channel or a
                            device after a bus reset.  The panic string is
                            listed below:

                            panic ("(spo_process_rsp) ran out of memory!")


                            Fixes a panic which has the following error
                            message:

                            Fixes a kmf problem when the type of SCSI device
                            dynamically changes.

                            Fixes a panic when booting with TCR 1.5
                            software.  When the system tries to initialize
                            the ASE Availability Manager during boot, it
                            gets a kernel memory fault.

                            Provides the DEGPA-SA Gigabit Ethernet driver
                            support.

                            Fixes a problem where process accounting data is
                            not written to the accounting file when it is on
                            an NFS-mounted file system.  This problem occurs
                            on Dataless Management Services (DMS) client
                            systems.

                            Fixes a problem in mountd where multiple A
                            records in DNS database for an NFS client will
                            not always succeed.

                            Fixes a panic with the following panic string:

                            pgmv: session leader attempted setpgrp


                            Fixes problems in the DECthreads library for
                            DIGITAL UNIX.  Included in this patch are
                            changes to support Ladebug enhancements and a
                            bug fix for applications which employ SCS
                            threads of different priorities.

                            Fixes a problem where a system panic will occur
                            when accessing an ISO9660 format CDROM.

 Patch 1147.00

 continued
                            Fixes the following problems:



                            A kernel memory fault system panic in routine
                            spec_reclaim.

                            When executing the file command against a lat
                            (BSD) special device, the file process will
                            hang.

                            On multi-CPU systems, hangs can occur in the
                            revoke system call when multiple threads attempt
                            to call revoke at the same time.



                            Fixes a kernel memory fault caused by a streams
                            SMP race condition.

                            Fixes a problem where several processes
                            accessing the same AdvFS file can hang in
                            ubc_lookup().

                            Provides support for the DAPCA HE622 and the
                            DAPBA HE155 ATM adapters.

                            Fixes a kernel memory fault and an SMP race
                            condition with the AltaVista Firewall 98 server
                            on a multi-CPU system.

                            Fixes a problem when a default IP address and a
                            cluster virtual IP address get interchanged
                            after a network restart.  The default interface
                            address is used by all outgoing traffic and the
                            alias address is only usable for the incoming
                            packets.

                            Fixes a system hang in which there is a large
                            number of pending IOCTLs on the streams queue.

                            Fixes a problem on systems running screend where
                            TCP/IP fragments are being dropped.

                            This patch fixes two problems:



                            Callback thread blocking forever in

                            Fixes a problem that causes system panics when
                            thread_swappable is called with the
                            current_thread as the target thread, when the
                            thread is about to be swapped out.

                            Fixes a problem with DLPI.  It is not possible
                            to configure DLPIs maximum link parameters.
                            Therefore, max_links and max_macs parameters
                            have been made configurable using sysconfig.

                            Fixes a problem with the map entry indexing
                            scheme that results in the following panic:

                            pmap_release_page: page not found


                            Fixes a restart detection problem with the
                            proplistd daemon.  Prior to this fix, when
                            mounting a relocated ASE NFS service with
                            property lists, clients did not detect that the
                            proplistd RPC port number had changed.  Clients
                            continued to use the proplistd RPC port number
                            of the old ASE cluster member.

                            Fixes a problem in which certain invalid kernel
                            address ranges may get ignored.  This can result
                            in invalid kernel memory accesses to be left
                            unnoticed.

                            Fixes a problem that causes the update install
                            procedure to exit with core dumps and
                            /sbin/loader failures on a system.

 Patch 1147.00

 continued
                            Fixes a problem with CDFS.  Data corruption
                            occurs when reading beyond the end of a
                            partition.

                            Fixes a problem in which the fsck utility may be
                            unable to repair a UFS filesystem.

                            Fixes a panic in the kernel.  The panic has the
                            following error message:

                            simple_lock: time limit exceeded


                            Fixes a system pause seen when doing a lot of
                            I/O to UFS filesystems.

                            Improves UFS performance by no longer
                            prematurely writing single pages.

                            Fixes system crashes seen on ASE or TruCluster
                            systems when changing the network interfaces.
                            The stack is not informative and the panic may
                            be "trap: illegal instruction" or "kernel memory
                            fault".

                            Fixes a problem where process accounting data
                            was not written to the accounting file when the
                            accounting file was on an NFS-mounted file
                            system.

                            This patch fixes and enhances the quotacheck and
                            fsck commands.

                            Fixes a problem in which mount would incorrectly
                            fall back to Version 2 after certain errors had
                            been encountered using Version 3.

                            Fixes an nfs/ufs/vm deadlock.  While serving a
                            client, the system running ASE/DT as an NFS
                            server can hang with deadlock.

                            Removes the following message, seen when booting
                            with genvmunix on large-memory systems:

                            contig_malloc: failed to allocate memory within addrlimit


                            Fixes two problems:

                            Fork can fail to obtain swap space.

                            Resource limitation on core files does not work
                            as documented.



                            Provides the driver and related kernel support
                            for the Powerstorm 4D10T (ELSA Gloria Synergy)
                            graphics card (SN-PBXGK-BB).

                            Fixes a problem where the system can panic with
                            the console message:

                            bs_bf_htop: invalid handle\n N1 = 0


                            Fixes the following problems:



                            A system panic, with panic string
                            "simple_lock_terminate:  lock busy".

                            A system panic, with panic string
                            "lock_terminate: lock held".

                            Removes the restriction of the maximum number of
                            threads allowed systemwide.



                            Fixes a problem with kdbx.  A core file created
                            by kdbx was left in the root directory when
                            recovering from a system crash.

                            Ensures all AdvFS root fileset buffers are
                            flushed on shutdown.

                            Fixes a UFS file system panic with the following
                            error message:

                            malloc_check_checksum: memory pool corruption

 Patch 1147.00

 continued
                            Fixes the database application core dumps when
                            using truss/trace tools by remembering that COW
                            has been set up on a shared pte and processes it
                            correctly when a subsequent write access is made
                            to the page.

                            Fixes a problem with NFS locking when lockmode
                            is set to 4.  The system can panic with
                            "lock_write: hierarchy violation" or
                            "lock_write:  simple lock owned".

                            Fixes a problem in which the system may memory
                            fault if the TCR/ASE server no longer has access
                            to the CD-ROM device.

                            Forces the kernel malloc code to print failure
                            messages only when kmem_debug is enabled and
                            also corrects some other minor kmem_debug
                            problems.

                            Fixes a class scheduler problem seen when
                            scheduling PIDs.  The PID class scheduling
                            heuristics have been changed so that a child
                            does not inherit its parent's class scheduling
                            policy.

                            Fixes a system hang problem due to a bug in the
                            NFS write gathering code.  The code does not
                            fully synch all writes.

                            Fixes a problem with the KZPSA driver.  A timer
                            is not being canceled causing a panic with the
                            following error message:

                            xpt_callback: callback on freed CC


                            Fixes a data corruption problem that can occur
                            when mapping to private regions.

                            Fixes a problem in which signals can be lost in
                            multithreaded applications.

                            Improves NFS performance by avoiding an
                            undesired cache invalidation that can have a big
                            impact on NFS performance with huge files.

                            Fixes a problem where RCP commands issued from a
                            Sun Solaris system to DIGITAL UNIX may sometimes
                            fail incorrectly with the error message:

                            Fixes a simple_lock: hierarchy violation in
                            sigq_abort() when lockmode is set to 4.

 Patch 1147.00

 coninued
                            Fixes a problem that causes CPU0 in a multi-CPU
                            system to hang in the socket close routines.

                            Fixes a kernel memory fault caused when a
                            network application walked an inpq array.

                            Fixes system crashes seen on ASE or TruCluster
                            systems when changing the network interfaces.
                            The stack is not informative and the panic may
                            be "trap: illegal instruction," or "kernel
                            memory fault."

                            Fixes two problems:



                            Locking/unlocking of a segmented shared memory
                            region causes the system to panic with the
                            following message:

                            (cpu 0): vm_page_ssm_unwire


                            The segmented shared memory does not handle
                            simultaneous shared memory locks and unlocks,
                            causing the system to panic with the following
                            message:

                            ssm_anon_free: wired/held/busy page




                            Fixes a problem of the fverify -n flag creating
                            directories.

                            Fixes a problem with soclose() that caused
                            permanent looping on exit while aborting pending
                            connections at a TCP/IP listener socket.

                            Fixes a problem that only occurs if realtime
                            pre-emption is enabled and SMP test suites are
                            run.

                            Updates the lfa ATM driver to V1.0.16 and fixes
                            the following two ATM driver problems:



                            Fixes a soft hang that can occur when running
                            NFS over ATM.



                      Summary of Base Operating System Patches 2-111








                            Allows the ATM subsystem to be shut down
                            successfully in the event of a board hang.



                            Fixes a problem with virtual memory.  When
                            running the Oracle database, the Oracle software
                            cannot detach from a shared memory segment.

                            Fixes single-step support in a debugger, such as
                            Ladebug, for instructions that trap or fault.

                            Fixes an incorrect calculation for memory-
                            usage-by-type when kmem_debug is set.

                            Corrects a problem in which the wrong status
                            could be returned when using a tape device.

                            Fixes a problem where all nodes in a cluster can
                            panic at the same time with a simple_lock
                            timeout panic.

 Patch 1147.00

 continued
                            Fixes a problem on configurations having
                            multiple Qlogic 1020/1040-based SCSI controllers
                            (for example KZPBAs) and multiple CPUs.  The
                            problem could result in stalled I/O.  This could
                            be seen as either a performance degradation,
                            command timeouts, or in the worst cases a system
                            hang condition.

                            Fixes a TCP performance problem if the TCP
                            window scale option is turned off when using the
                            HIPPI interface.

                            Fixes a problem where a possible unaligned
                            access fault can occur in the kernel.

                            Fixes a problem with tmv2_notify_cbf messages
                            being logged from KPBSA adapters and creating
                            very large binary.errlog files in a clustered
                            environment.

                            Fixes a problem in which the system can panic
                            with a kernel memory fault.

                            Upgrades to the Gigabit Ethernet driver Version
                            1.0.12 to fix various performance problems.

                            Fixes a problem where the system can panic with
                            the panic string "secsize_resid < d_reclen" when
                            accessing a defective CD-ROM.

                            Fixes a system hang condition.  All NFS-related
                            services may deadlock.

                            Fixes a problem where partitioned Turbolasers
                            return incorrect CPU data for CPUs that are not
                            in the partition.

                            Fixes a problem on systems with a Powerstorm
                            4D10T (ELSA Gloria Synergy) graphics board,
                            where the graphics were not reset to console
                            mode (the blue screen) when the halt button was
                            pressed.

                            Fixes a problem where ubc_msync() may not flush
                            out all the pages in requested range.

                            Fixes callback on freed CCB panics.

 Patch 1147.00

 continued
                            Provides changes necessary for AV firewall 98 to
                            pass ICSA certification.

                            Fixes var adm messages from truncation on larger
                            configurations by raising the default size
                            (4096) of msgbuf_size to 8192.

                            Fixes a problem with the parameter-checking code
                            of the fcntl system call.  As a result,
                            incorrectly coded fcntl() parameters in user
                            programs no longer panic the system.

                            Fixes the AdvFS race between extending and
                            reading subextent maps and avoids the panic in
                            advfs bs_get_bf_xtnt_map code (QAR 61985).  This
                            patch also fixes the race with removing storage
                            causing kernel memory fault (QAR 66890).

                            Fixes a problem in which ufs_fsck can get
                            blocked while attempting to flush NFS buffers
                            for a service that has become suspended.

                            Fixes a problem that could result in a incorrect
                            scheduling of threads when they were dispatched
                            from the idle state.

                            Fixes a panic in AdvFS which can have the
                            following error messages:

                            panic (cpu 1): bs_cow_pg: pin clone err


                            or

                             panic (cpu 1): bs_cow_pg: cannot get blkMap


                            Fixes a problem with making a msfs_putpage()
                            call.  The length argument may get its upper
                            bits truncated which will result in an incorrect
                            length calculation.

                            Fixes a problem where systems with the
                            DUV40DAS0005-19991007 patch kit installed would
                            run low on kernel memory after process
                            accounting had been running for a while.

                            Fixes a problem in a cluster configuration with
                            the fta FDDI driver.  The console message seen
                            for this problem is:

                            hw_sg_load: load request too big, pages alloced 1 required 2


                            Fixes a kernel memory fault caused by the fta
                            FDDI driver.

                            Fixes a problem that may occur on systems with
                            an FDDI controller.  During system boot, the
                            system may panic with a message similar to the
                            following:

                            panic (cpu 8): kernel memory fault


                            Corrects a problem with the FDDI fta driver.

                            Fixes a kernel memory fault caused by a
                            mishandling of multicast addresses on the FDDI
                            interface.

                            Fixes a problem with virtual mac addressing.

 Patch 1147.00

 continued
                            Fixes a problem in which a system may crash if
                            multiple bad blocks on a SCSI device are
                            encountered simultaneously.

                            Fixes a problem in the CAM driver.  A disk
                            failure can cause the driver to spend too much
                            time retrying interleaved Test Unit Ready and
                            Start Unit commands.  As a result, the logging
                            of the hard error caused by the disk failure is
                            delayed.

                            Fixes the erroneous SAR Stats implementation of
                            CAM statistics.  The original CAM stat's macros
                            calculated inappropriate time deltas because
                            they were not measured on a per-IO basis, and
                            the times did not account for overlapping I/O.

                            Fixes the problem that causes a ccmn_rem_ccb3
                            panic not on any list and a device starvation
                            problem when Rapid Error Recovery is in use.

                            Fix to prevent I/O stalling infinitely when ccb
                            queue on a device is full.

                            Fixes problems with the following:



                            Continuous resets when an I/O command is causing
                            the resets.

                            Read capacity recovery failure.

                            Bad block replacement (BBR) processing .

                            Fixes simple_lock timeouts holding the
                            ubc_lru_lock too long.Fixes a problem where
                            programs that read, analyze and monitor disk
                            statistics (such as "collect") will occasionally
                            display incorrect results.

                            Fixes a problem in which the interaction between
                            mfs file systems and smoothsync causes procprod
                            to read stale data.

                            Fixes a problem in which the system can panic
                            with a kernel memory fault during an
                            installation with an HSZ70 or HSZ80 connected to
                            the system.

                            Fixes a kernel memory fault when accessing the

                            Fixes a simple_lock time limit exceeded panic
                            due to an SMP race condition in namecache.

                            Fixes a problem that causes corruption in the
                            floating point registers whereby the flag fields
                            nxm_fp_owned are overwritten with 0s.

                            Fixes a kernel memory fault in VMAC code
                            if_addnewaddr().

                            Fixes a kernel memory fault in
                            procfs_get_s5_dir.

                            Fixes a system panic with panic string:

                            psig: catch not set


                            Corrects a kernel memory fault caused by
                            rw3vp_cache passing a bad address to _OtsZero().

                            Fixes a problem in which an application can hang
                            because of an undelivered signal.

                            Fixes a problem where if the size of the message
                            queue was increased, writers to the queue that
                            were blocked would not wake up for processing.

                            Provides the latest driver for the PowerStorm
                            4D10T (ELSA Gloria Synergy, SN-PBXGK-BB)
                            graphics card.

                            Adds a fix to VMAC functionality when used with
                            NETRain.

                            Fixes a problem where the following can occur
                            during a system panic:



                            System calls interrupts.

                            mpsleep() returns an EINTR error when the
                            panicstr is non-NULL.

                            An indefinite looping at a very high priority.



                            Corrects a problem with the incorrect ordering
                            of network interfaces which was resulting in
                            network partitions.

                            Updates the lfa ATM device driver to V1.0.17 and
                            adds some enhancements as well as fixes a kernel
                            memory fault seen when either shutting down or
                            restarting the device driver.

                            Fixes a "lock_terminate: lock held" panic when
                            deleting a process group.

                            Fixes an "unaligned kernel space access from
                            kernel mode" panic when doing a malloc from
                            kmembucket 26, 896 byte bucket.  The faulting
                            virtual address will be the lock signature for
                            thread_deallocate().

                            Fixes a kernel memory fault in
                            u_anon_faultpage() when it access the backing
                            object for the anonymous page.

                            without completely becoming the user.  The
                            functionality is needed by the ASU (Advanced
                            Server for UNIX) product.

                            Fixes a panic in in_pcbfree() associated with

                            fixes metadata intensive application
                            performance.

                            Fixes a race condition in the UBC code where a
                            lookup is done on a page being invalidated
                            (freed).

                            Fixes a race condition involving signals and
                            threads that only happens on multiprocessor
                            systems.

                            Fixes a problem when the type of SCSI device
                            dynamically changes, which can result in a
                            kernel memory fault or memory corruption panic.

                            Fixes a problem where the operating system only
                            looks in slot 0 for the primary CPU.

                            Fixes a problem in which operations on NFS files
                            can hang indefinitely.

                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS where

 Patch 1147.00

 continued
                            Corrects a problem when a network interface is
                            configured using a CIDR bitmask and lies in a
                            certain address range.  It could be unreachable
                            by users on the local system and remote systems
                            that choose not to use the routing table, but
                            simply transmit on an interface.

                            Fixes a "simple_lock: time limit exceeded" panic
                            that can be seen on large configurations under a
                            heavy load situation.

                            Fixes reply values for NFS writes that were
                            causing protocol violations.

                            Fixes a simple lock panic.

                            Fixes a problem with cdfs.  Fatal errors occur
                            when trying to load data from a cdfs CD-ROM over
                            NFS.

                            Corrects a problem which could cause the system
                            to spend excessive time in the internet checksum
                            routine, resulting in a degradation of system
                            performance.

                            Fixes 2two network problems; a panic in
                            in_pcbfree() when NFS is implemented over TCP,
                            and a system hang with threads blocked in
                            in_pcblock().

                            Fixes a panic in the UFS filesystem which has
                            the following error message:

                            blkfree: freeing free block


                            Fixes a hang or
                            simple_lock_state_violation/simple_lock_fault
                            panic in biodone.

                            This patch fixes two panics that have the
                            following error messages:

                            simple_lock: time limit exceeded


                            simple_lock: lock already owned by cpu


                            Increases the efficiency of the tcp_timers.

                            Fixes a problem where the Korn shell (ksh) could
                            hang if a large number of commands were pasted
                            to it when it was running in a terminal emulator
                            window (such as an xterm).

                            Fixes a memory leak when named pipes (FIFOs) are
                            used.

                            Fixes a bug where quotacheck -v will report that
                            it has fixed some quotas.  If you keep running
                            the command, it will keep reporting the exact
                            same fixes.

                            Modifies AdvFS kernel code and several
                            utilities.  AdvFS will no longer panic with the
                            following error:

                            ADVFS EXCEPTION : panic cpu(0) : bad frag free list


                            The code is modified so that during frag
                            allocation when AdvFS determines that the frag
                            group header's free list has been corrupted, it
                            stops using it and marks it BAD.  It is then
                            removed from the free list so no more
                            allocations can take place and no deallocations
                            are performed.  The verify, shfragbf, and
                            vfragpg programs are modified to report BAD frag
                            groups.

                            Adds support for activating temporary data
                            logging on a mount point.

 Patch 1147.00

 continued
                            Fixes a hang or
                            simple_lock_state_violation/simple_lock_fault
                            panic in the biodone routine.

                            Fixes a kernel memory fault by changing code to
                            delete a cache reference when removing an inp
                            from a que head.

                            A potential security vulnerability has been
                            discovered where, under certain circumstances,
                            system integrity may be compromised.  This may
                            be in the form of improper file or privilege
                            management.  Compaq has corrected this potential
                            vulnerability.

                            Provides several fixes including:



                            Signal parent process to enable user
                            notification of mount failure.

                            Return functionality to accept disk-type from
                            user.

                            Exit if overlap detected and not being run
                            interactively.

                            Do not do check_usage for -N option or mfs.

                            Move common variable declarations to header
                            file.

                            Adjust fssize and references to it to handle
                            larger file systems.



                            CDFS media burned in 2001 shows the wrong dates.

                            Fixes a kernel memory fault which occurs while
                            using a tablet instead of a mouse.

                            Fixes a consvar command problem with setting a
                            boot device to a tape device with the consvar -s
                            command.

                            Fixes a hang in the UFSfilesystem.

                            Resolves problems encontered with the Ladebug
                            and TotalView debuggers.

                            Resolves problems encontered with the Ladebug
                            and TotalView debuggers.

                            Fixes a problem where threads can hang while
                            renaming files on nfs mounted filesystems.

                            Fixes a timing window where flushing data to
                            disk can be incomplete when a system is going
                            down, if more than one thread calls reboot()
                            without first going through shutdown,
                            /sbin/reboot, or /sbin/halt.

                            Fixes a problem in which the system may panic
                            with the panic string "Unaligned kernel space
                            access from kernel mode".

                            Corrects a problem where a directory entry may
                            be attempted to be changed to "." and the code
                            checks for this prevents it from happening.

                            fFxes a "u_anon_free: page busy" panic.

                            This patch corrects the following:




                            Corrects a problem with an NFS V3 mounted AdvFS
                            file system where, under heavy I/O load, data
                            being written to a file may be lost.
                            Additionally, because file stats are not being
                            saved, the file modification time may revert to
                            a previous value.

                            Provides a performance improvement for AdvFS
                            systems.

                            Corrects a problem in AdvFS where a data
                            structure field is not initialized until after
                            an AdvFS mount, which is too late.  This results
                            in the inability, for example, to see the files
                            after a remount.

                            Fixes a problem that occurs on SMP systems with
                            an AdvFS filesystem in which the system panics
                            with the following message:

                            simple_lock: time limit exceeded


                            Fixes a problem with the vrestore command.  When
                            restoring a multivolume tape archive, if the
                            tapes that follow the first tape are write-
                            protected, the following error message is
                            displayed:

                            vrestore: can't open device file


                            Fixes a problem caused by the vdump command.
                            When a user entered Ctrl/C to terminate a vdump
                            operation, the command returned an incorrect
                            status and mistakenly updated the
                            /etc/vdumpdates file.

                            Fixes a problem that occurred when an AdvFS



                      Summary of Base Operating System Patches 2-127








                            panic crashed the system but the visible symptom
                            was a crash due to a kernel memory fault.

                            Fixes a problem with the chfsets command.  When
                            a root user exceeded the fileset quota (which
                            root is allowed to do), the chfsets command
                            reported negative values for the free and
                            available blocks in the fileset.

                            Fixes a problem with AdvFS in which the
                            following panic occurs:

                            clone: str_stripe_clone err


                            Modifies the vd_remove() function to set domain
                            panic instead of panicing the system.

                            Fixes a problem that crashed the system while it
                            was running a collision test.  The process would
                            hang on a lock, never be woken, and crash the
                            system.

                            Fixes an AdvFS problem that occurs when
                            unmounting a domain.  An unmount thread was
                            waiting on a variable to be set to zero before
                            continuing, but the routine that was to set the
                            variable to zero never did.

                            Fixes a problem with the AdvFS fs_write routine,
                            which would mishandle partial writes after
                            detecting an error.

 Patch 1165.00

 continued
                            Corrects a problem where a panic would occur
                            when running rmtrashcan on a clone.

                            Fixes a problem with AdvFS which caused a system
                            panic with the following message:

                            log_flush_sync:  pingpg error


                            A system panic occurred when the AdvFS domain
                            had already issued a domain panic and a user
                            application then attempted to close a file in
                            that domain.

                            Fixes a problem with AdvFS which would corrupt a
                            clone fileset when it truncated the original
                            fileset.

                            Provides performance improvements for writes to
                            AdvFS files which have had Atomic Write Data
                            Logging enabled on them.  Write performance
                            improvements are for O_SYNC opens of such files
                            and are realized for both local and NFS access.

                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS that produced the
                            following system panic:

                             bs_logflush_start:  cannot write lsn


                            Fixes a problem with messages in system logs
                            that reported AdvFS user and group quota limits.
                            The messages were unclear; the user could not
                            determine from them which users or groups were
                            reaching the quota limits.

                            Fixes several problems associated with AdvFS tag
                            files and directories, including displays of
                            erroneous data and system panics.

                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS locking code which
                            causes the following panic:

                            kernel memory fault


                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS that causes a system
                            panic when a truncate operation is performed on
                            a file.  The panic is:

                             log half full

                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS that was causing a
                            memory leak.

                            Fixes the following problems in AdvFS:



                            AdvFS does not return an error when a user opens
                            a file in O_SYNC mode and power is lost on the
                            disk drive.

                            A locking error in the AdvFS fs_write() routine.



                            Fixes a problem with AdvFS that caused a page
                            fault and the following panic:

                            panic (cpu 0): kernel memory fault


                            Fixes two AdvFS problems:



                            An error message was misleading when a DIGITAL
                            UNIX Version 4.0 system attempted to access a
                            file domain created by Tru64 UNIX Version 5.0.

                            A state field in an AdvFS data structure was
                            initialized, but not maintained.



                            Fixes a problem where user files or the AdvFS
                            frag file could lose data if they are updated
                            during an AdvFS migration (that is, during a
                            balance, defragment, migrate, or rmvol of their
                            AdvFS domain).

 Patch 1165.00

 continued
                            Fixes a problem with the vrestore command.  The
                            command had returned a success status code even
                            though it had restored an incomplete file during
                            the operation.

                            Fixes three verify command problems:



                            The command was displaying a large volume of
                            meaningless data.

                            When it encountered a nonrecoverable error, the
                            command did not properly exit.

                            The command sent some error messages to stderr,
                            some to stdout.



                            Fixes a problem that occurs on AdvFS systems.
                            The system will panic with the following error
                            message:

                            malloc_overflow: guard space corruption


                            Fixes a problem with AdvFS, which produced the
                            following error while attempting to migrate a
                            sparse file:

                            Fixes the following problems in the AdvFS
                            system:



                            The log file corruption caused panics during
                            recovery and failures and displayed one of the
                            following messages:

                            can't set a bit twice


                            Note: This only fixes a subset of the known
                            set/clear bit panics.



                            Fixes a problem in the AdvFS logging code, The
                            way locking was implemented was causing degraded
                            performance.

                            Corrects an I/O subsystem performance
                            bottleneck.  A system which experiences periodic
                            system slowdowns may need this patch.

                            Fixes an operating system hang condition.  The
                            hang condition exists due to processes
                            deadlocking in the AdvFS code.

                            Fixes a problem with AdvFS performance.  The
                            patch provides a performance improvement to the
                            msync system call when it is called for an AdvFS
                            mmapped file.

                            Fixes an AdvFS problem that occurs when the
                            rmvol command is stopped before the commmand
                            successfully removes a volume from a domain.  As
                            a result, the showfdmn and addvol commands
                            interpreted the volume as still in the domain
                            (although with no data available) and a balance
                            operation returned the following AdvFS error
                            message:

                            get vol params error EBAD_VDI (-1030)

 Patch 1165.00

 continued
                            Fixes a problem with the defragment command,
                            where the -V option is not being parsed
                            properly.

                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS that produced the
                            following system panic:

                            malloc_overflow: guard space corruption


                            Fixes a problem with the vdump command, which
                            was modifiying the atime file attribute whenever
                            files were backed up, thereby eliminating the
                            ability to determine when the files were last
                            accessed by a user.

                            Enhances the AdvFS verify utility to detect
                            incorrect holes in frags file.

                            Fixes an AdvFS problem which can allow I/O
                            requests to bypass the ready lazy queue.

                            Fixes a problem in the AdvFS system.  The system
                            hangs due to a deadlock between update daemon
                            sync() syscall processing in AdvFS and the
                            truncation of AdvFS file.

                            Fixes a problem that occurs when vrestore is run
                            from a script.  Control c input to vrestore run
                            from a script is not processed correctly.

                            Changes the way some of the AdvFS advanced
                            utilities work (rmvol, migrate, balance and
                            defragment), as they were failing when trying to
                            migrate file(s) from an AdvFS domain with heavy
                            I/O.

                            Corrects a problem observed when using the
                            edquota command under the Advanced File System
                            (AdvFS).  The edquota command may display an
                            incorrect grace period.

                            This patch applies to AdvFS use only and
                            corrects a problem whereby rmvol(8) will not
                            remove multiple stripes of the same file on a
                            volume.  The error code EBAD_VDI (-1030) may be
                            displayed.

                            Fixes the following problems with the vrestore
                            command:




                      Summary of Base Operating System Patches 2-133








                            vrestore is slow to complete when a partial
                            restore operation is requested.

                            vrestore fails to ignore extended attribute
                            records for those files that are not requested
                            in a vrestore operation.



                            Fixes two AdvFS problems:



                            When an AdvFS volume is nearly full, AdvFS files
                            may become corrupt as they are closed.  The
                            verify utility can be used to detect this
                            overlapped frag corruption problem.

                            The truncation of the fragment bitfile was
                            erroneously being turned off.  This feature
                            allows AdvFS to give back disk space
                            periodically.



                            Fixes a panic in the AdvFS system.  The panic
                            has the following error message:

                            lock_read: hierarchy violation

 Patch 1165.00

 continued
                            Fixes the following problems:



                            A potential system hang when inactivating an
                            AdvFS domain (QAR 65739).

                            A potential problem during AdvFS domain
                            activation that can cause an AdvFS domain to be
                            unmountable (QAR 64945).



                            Fixes a potential problem with the vdump
                            command.

                            Provides the following fixes and enhancements to
                            AdvFS:



                            AdvFS volumes were not setting the default I/O
                            byte transfer size to the preferred size
                            reported by the disk drives.

                            AdvFS chvol read and write transfer size range
                            was increased.

                            The read-ahead algorithm was modified to improve
                            performance under certain conditions.



                            This enhancement for the /sbin/advfs/verify
                            utility allows it to detect loops in the list of
                            free frags kept in the frags file.

                            Fixes a problem where a system can panic with a
                            kernel memory fault in overlay_xtnt_map() when
                            any of the AdvFS migration utilities
                            (migrate,balance, rmvol, or defragment) are run
                            on an AdvFS domain.

                            Fixes a problem in which a system using AdvFS
                            can Kernel Memory Fault when truncating a frag
                            file for a fileset that is not mounted.

                            Makes vrestore work with QIC-120 and QIC-150
                            tapes.

                            Fixes an AdvFS hang that is caused by a deadlock



                      Summary of Base Operating System Patches 2-135








                            between the_XentMM() and msfs_mmap() system
                            calls.

                            Fixes a problem in which a system can hang
                            because cleanup_closed_list() can go into a
                            loop.

                            Introduces changes to the DECthreads libraries
                            intended to improve the performance of threaded
                            applications running on DIGITAL UNIX V4.0D.
                            This patch specifically addresses the areas of
                            thread scheduling, synchronization object
                            performance and SMP scalability.

                            Fixes a problem on systems using the AdvFS
                            filesystem, where the system can panic with the
                            panic string, "del_clean_mcell_list: no primary
                            xtnt record".

                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS which could cause
                            thread hangs or a system panic.

                            Fixes a problem in which the update daemon can
                            hang.

                            Fixes a problem with AdvFS that will cause the
                            system to panic with "kernel memory fault" in
                            audit_rec_build().

                            Fixes an AdvFS Domain Panic that occurs with the
                            following message on the console:

                            load_x_cache: bad status from bs_refpg of sbm


                            Fixes a problem where the statfs system call was
                            reporting incorrect block usage on AdvFS
                            filesets.  As a side effect of this problem, the
                            sendmail utility may sleep needlessly (waiting
                            for space to become available).

 Patch 1165.00

 continued
                            Fixes the following problems:



                            A kernel memory fault system panic in routine
                            spec_reclaim.

                            When executing the file command against a lat
                            (BSD) special device, the file process will
                            hang.

                            On multi-CPU systems, hangs can occur in the
                            revoke system call when multiple threads attempt
                            to call revoke at the same time.



                            Fixes a problem where several processes
                            accessing the same AdvFS file can hang in
                            ubc_lookup().

                            Fixes a problem with an unclear AdvFS message.
                            When trying to mount an AdvFS fileset on a
                            system that did not have AdvFS installed, the
                            following message was displayed:

                            No such device


                            Now, in similar cases, the following AdvFS
                            message is displayed:

                            Cannot mount AdvFS fileset, AdvFS not installed


                            Fixes a problem with AdvFS and links in the
                            /etc/fdmns directory.  Previously, AdvFS did not
                            ensure that every link in a directory entry
                            pointed to a block device.  Now, it does.

                            Fixes a problem with the mount command where it
                            sometimes kills other processes.

                            Fixes a problem where the vdump program would
                            dump core with the following message:

                            nnnn Resources lost(coredump)


                            Corrects a problem in AdvFS that causes single-
                            CPU systems to hang and causes multiple-CPU

                            systems to panic with a "simple lock time limit
                            exceeded" error specifying lock class name
                            BfAccessTblMutex.

                            Corrects a problem that caused invalid fragment
                            information to be reported for an AdvFS file.
                            The invalid information was returned in response
                            to a verify command.

                            Fixes a problem that caused the system to hang
                            when AdvFS tests were run in lockmode 4.  The
                            fix allows xfer_xtnts_to_clone to recover after
                            a crash.

                            Fixes a problem with the AdvFS addvol command.
                            Prior to this patch, if the advol command was
                            interrupted and a second addvol command was run,
                            the AdvFS domain would be rendered unusable.

                            Fixes a problem in which the system panics due
                            to AdvFs lock hierarchy violation.

                            Fixes a problem with the defragment command.
                            Prior to this patch the defragment command could
                            fail and display inacurate error descriptions.
                            The problem was caused by uninitialized
                            variables for the command.

                            Fixes the problem where the system panics if
                            AdvFS detects an inconsistency in the free list
                            of mcells that is kept on a per-volume basis in
                            an AdvFS domain.  The panic string seen with
                            this panic is:

                            alloc_mcell: bad mcell free list


                            Fixes a problem where update takes too long to
                            sync mmap files when using an AdvFS file system.

                            Fixes the potential directory corruption, when
                            system crashes during rmdir.

                            Fixes the problem where the system panics
                            whenever nextFlushSeq reaches the max.  This fix
                            allows nextFlushSeq (and other buffer lsn's) to
                            roll over.

                            Corrects a problem where a "can't clear a bit
                            twice" panic occurs after an unanticipated
                            system crash and an improperly handled AdvFS
                            recovery operation.

                            Fixes the following two problems in AdvFS:



                            When a "log half full" or "log full" problem
                            occurs, an entire system will panic.

                            The error message "ftx_bfdmn_recovery:bad record
                            size\n N1 = 1" is received when the wordCnt, as
                            returned by lgr_read, is not enough to hold the
                            ftxDoneLRT record that precedes each log record
                            in a log page.



                            Fixes a problem where vdump will output the
                            message, "can't reset atime" for each file it is
                            backing up when used with an NFS mounted file
                            system.

                            Corrects a problem in AdvFS where unmounting a
                            domain that is already in a panicked state could
                            result in the following system panic message:

                            log_flush_sync: pinpg error\n N1 = 5

                            Corrects some error messages given when the
                            AdvFS utility verify(8) detects file errors.  It
                            also corrects a problem whereby verify was
                            unable to delete files with no directory
                            entries.

                            Ensures all AdvFS root fileset buffers are
                            flushed on shutdown.

                            Fixes the defragment program to properly report
                            on extremely large (>4.3GB) freespace holes.
                            Previously it would report Free space
                            percentages larger than 100% and would add these
                            large holes to the smallest range (<100K)
                            instead of the largest range (>10M) where they
                            belong.

                            Corrects a kernel memory fault that occurs when
                            entering the mount -o dual command.

 Patch 1165.00

 continued
                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS.  AdvFS may skip
                            filesystem recovery after aborted domain
                            activation.

                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS.  The system panics
                            with the following error message:

                            SMP Assertion failed


                            Fixes a problem in which it prevents a system
                            panic if str_stripe_clone returns an error.

                            Fixes two problems with the vrestore command:



                            The command was slow to complete when a partial
                            restore operation was requested.

                            The command failed to ignore extended attribute
                            records for the files which were not requested
                            for a vrestore operation.  In addition this
                            patch corrects intermittent failures to display
                            archive records for the above files (compressed
                            or not) when the list option was selected.



                            Avoids corruption of a filesystem when verify
                            runs with -r &#38; -f flags on an active domain.
                            Verify returns usage message when -r flag is
                            used with either -f or -dFixes following
                            problems with the /sbin/vdump command:.



                            Non-zero level dumps on links that point to a
                            mounted file system can now be performed.

                            To prevent dangling links after a vrestore,
                            directory entries are now created instead of
                            re-creating links that points to a mount file
                            system.

                            vdump no longer ignores valid nfs mounts with
                            inodes = 5 or 4.



                            Fixes a problem that may cause panics to occur

                            when msfs_getpage() receives an error return
                            from fs_write_add_stg() when attempting to write
                            to an AdvFS domain that is out of disk space.

                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS.  A fileset is busy
                            when attempting to unmount giving an EBUSY error
                            even though the fileset has no open files.

                            Fixes problem with vrestore where vrestore fails
                            to restore certain files and directories having
                            ACLs from a compressed vdump saveset, reporting:

                            vrestore: error setting extended attributes 22


                            Fixes a problem in the AdvFS system.  A panic
                            occurs with the following error message:

                            lock_read: hierarchy violation


                            Fixes a situation in which a slight memory leak
                            can occur when recovering Advfs domains with
                            mount.

                            Fixes a problem where a single CPU system using
                            AdvFS can hang in cleanup_closed_list().

                            Corrects AdvFS problems involving clone
                            filesets.  The statfs syscall (used by df) was
                            incorrectly returning zero blocks USED for
                            clones.  The read-ahead code was incorrectly
                            passing up opportunities to do read-ahead on
                            clone filesets, resulting in a large performance
                            penalty.

 Patch 1165.00

 continued
                            Corrects two problems in AdvFS property list
                            handling:



                            Creation of property lists entries in AdvFS
                            filesets with no available mcells will result in
                            kernel memory fault (kmf).

                            The get_proplist_entry function (used to
                            disassemble the property list buffer returned by
                            the "getproplist" system call) returned
                            incorrect name length on property list names
                            longer than 127 characters.



                            Fixes a problem with the parameter checking code
                            of the fcntl system call.  As a result,
                            incorrectly coded fcntl() parameters in user
                            programs no longer panic the system.

                            Fixes the AdvFS race between extending and
                            reading subextent maps and avoids the panic
                            occured in AdvFS bs_get_bf_xtnt_map code (QAR
                            61985).  This patch also fixes the race with
                            removing storage causing kernel memory fault
                            (QAR 66890).

                            Fixes a panic in AdvFS which can have the
                            following error messages:

                            panic (cpu 1): bs_cow_pg: pin clone err


                            panic (cpu 1): bs_cow_pg: cannot get blkMap


                            Fixes a problem with making a msfs_putpage()
                            call.  The length argument may get its upper
                            bits truncated which will result in an incorrect
                            length calculation.

                            Fixes a problem in which an invalid error status
                            is returned from the remove_entry system call.

                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS.  The system panics
                            with a kernel memory fault.

                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS.  A system panic
                            occured with the following error message:

                            panic: del_dealloc_stg(): cant ref bmt page


                            Fixes the following /sbin/advfs/verify command
                            problems:



                            Verify fails to complete on a large number of
                            files.

                            Verify will core dump when an offset into
                            mountd[] array that is used to pull out the
                            fileset name is corrupted.

                            Verify incorrectly reports errors on BMTs that
                            have multiple extent records for domains created
                            with the mkfdmn -p switch.

                            Verify fails when lseeking on very large
                            domains.



                            Fixes a problem that caused AdvFS to incorrectly
                            calculate metadata file size for files greater
                            than 4GB resulting in corruption on read and
                            stat syscalls.

                            Fixes a problem where the output of a ps
                            command, the PAGEIN column reports 0 for all
                            processes.

                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS.  A panic occurs with
                            the following error message:

                            lock_read: hierarchy violation


                            Fixes AdvFS inconsistent quota problems and
                            errors similar to the following appearing on the
                            console:

 Patch 1165.00

 continued
                            Fixes a problem with verify.  When verify is run
                            on a brand new domain, nfs warnings are
                            displayed even though no nfs related activity is
                            being done.

                            Fixes a system hang that could last up to a few
                            minutes with large files when performing
                            synchronous IO requests.

                            Fixes an AdvFS problem which caused the system
                            to crash with a kernel memory fault.

                            Fixes a problem with a kernel memory fault in
                            AdvFS.

                            Fixes a problem in which the chfile utility
                            returns an incorrect error code.

                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS where
                            putpage_lk/pg_busy deadlock causes hangs in the
                            system.

                            Fixes the following vrestore problems:



                            A previous patch caused incomplete restores.

                            A warning message is displayed when the path for
                            the first file in a group of hardlinks is
                            created without using original protection codes
                            and property lists.

                            A warning message is displayed and vrestore
                            aborts if it fails to malloc space for a
                            property list.

                            A message which had been inserted at the end of
                            the message file had the wrong message category
                            (this could cause messaging confusion).

                            An uninitialized variable in the code that
                            restores property lists could cause malloc
                            failures, memory faults, an "error setting
                            extended attributes" message, and infinite loops
                            using the -l option.

                            Corrupted property list information could cause
                            an infinite loop.

                            Fixes an AdvFS kernel memory fault caused by a
                            race condition between migrate and chfile -L in
                            bfflush_start.

                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS.  The following error
                            messages can occur:

                            panic:
                               simple_lock: uninitialized lock


                            kernel memory fault:
                               simple_lock: minimum spl violation


                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS in which a system that
                            had already domain paniced results in a system
                            panic.

                            Fixes a problem where the vdump command will
                            sometimes store symbolic link files as
                            directories in the vdump archive.

                            Fixes a problem where an AdvFS domain becomes
                            inaccessible when using the mount -d option.

                            Fixes a problem with AdvFS in which a hang
                            occurs due to a deadlock between bsbuf.state and
                            bmt extent map lock.

                            Fixes a problem with AdvFS where all processes
                            are waiting for buffers, causing the system to
                            hang.

                            Fixes a problem in AdvFS where user data may be
                            lost when a clone file is migrated.

                            This patch fixes a panic in AdvFS with the
                            following error message:

                            ftx_fail_2: dirty page not allowed

 Patch 1165.00

 continued
                            Fixes hangs in AdvFS fileset operations such as
                            clone creation and deletion when I/O errors or
                            device full conditions resulted in the operation
                            being undone.

                            Fixes a lock hierarchy violation in AdvFs.

                            Fixes a memory leak when named pipes (FIFOs) are
                            used.

                            Prevents a system panic from occurring while
                            using ADVFS.

                            This patch modifies AdvFS kernel code and
                            several utilities.  AdvFS will no longer panic
                            with the following error:

                            ADVFS EXCEPTION : panic cpu(0) : bad frag free list


                            The code is modified so that during frag
                            allocation when AdvFS determines that the frag
                            group header's free list has been corrupted, it
                            stops using it and marks it BAD.  It is then
                            removed from the free list so no more
                            allocations can take place and no deallocations
                            are performed.  The verify, shfragbf, and
                            vfragpg programs are modified to report BAD frag
                            groups.

                            Fixes a problem in which rmvol would hang in a
                            wait state.

                            Fixes a potential problem flushing data to disk
                            when using data logging with sparse files.

                            Adds support for activating temporary data
                            logging on a mount point.

                            Fixes an AdvFS hang that is caused by a thread
                            waiting for flushCv notification and is holding
                            resources that other threads want.  This type of
                            hang has been experienced when shutting the
                            system down.

                            Fixes a problem where a system can crash with
                            the panic string:

                            bs_pinpg_one_int: nextflushseq(2) rollover


                            Fixes a problem where the setgid bit of a
                            directory was not being set when created, if its
                            parent directory has the setgid bit set

                            Fixes a panic in AdvFS which has the following
                            error message:

                              panic: Unaligned kernel space access from kernel mode



                            Fixes a timing window where flushing data to
                            disk can be incomplete when a system is going
                            down, if more than one thread calls reboot()
                            without first going through shutdown,
                            /sbin/reboot, or /sbin/halt.

                            Corrects a problem in which a single
                            application's creating and removing of files
                            repeatedly in the absence of other applications
                            working on the same fileset can cause poor
                            update daemon performance due to a flawed kernel
                            hashing algorithm.

                            Fixes the following problems with the vrestore
                            command:



                            Fails to properly handle extended attributes
                            records in compressed archives.  This results in
                            malloc failures, proplist corruption, program
                            abort, program crashes due to segfault or
                            invalid memory access, and the display of the
                            error message "error setting extended
                            attributes".

                            Fails to set extended attributes due to
                            confusion over selective restore of the file or
                            directory associated.  Also results in display
                            of error message "error setting extended
                            attributes".

                            Selective restore of hardlinked files is
                            incomplete when they exist in different
                            directories (fails to create directory for
                            second occurrence of file with same inode
                            number).

                            The -Q option is added to vrestore to allow the
                            user to request that the the quota files are
                            ignored (thus avoiding the time it takes to
                            process them).

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Addresses two issues with the /sbin/loader:



                            Fixes an infinite loop in /sbin/loader.

                            Changes the /sbin/loader so that it now reports
                            the names of unresolved symbols in a shared
                            library which is opened by a dlopen() call.



                            Fixes a problem where the linker might crash
                            when printing out lengthy error diagnostics.

                            Fix for a linker problem that could cause
                            incorrect symbol resolution in call_shared
                            applications.  The result is the application may
                            use a shared library's version of a symbol
                            rather than a symbol with the same name defined
                            in the application.

                            Fixes a problem that occurs when the default C
                            compiler is used to compile a program using the
                            following switches on the command line:

                            -c -compress -fast


                            Implements a new cc switch to allow the passing
                            of the ld -input file switch to the linker via
                            cc, without changing its relative position in
                            the ld command line.  The current method for
                            doing this (-Wl,-input,filename) changes the
                            order in which such a file is presented to the
                            linker, and can result in an invalid transfer
                            address in an executable, resulting in a
                            segmentation fault.

 Patch 1169.00

 continued
                            Fixes a problem in cc that causes it to set the
                            incorrect optimization level when the user
                            specifies the -O -migrate options.

                            Adds support for the -B symbolic option in the
                            run-time loader.  This new option to ld(1)
                            alters the search algorithm used in symbol
                            searches.

                            Provides latent support for DCPI, a performance
                            analysis tool.

                            Provides the support needed by the Developers'
                            Toolkit Update Kit.  These updates will not
                            install unless this patch is installed.

                            Fixes a problem where the linker (ld) would
                            insert incorrect values for the symbols etext
                            and _etext when building kernels larger than 4
                            MB.

                            Fixes segfaults in nm for object files generated
                            by the C++ compiler.

                            Fixes the name demangling for the tools that
                            print symbol table names generated by the C++
                            V6.2 compiler.  This problem will only occur for
                            most C++ objects compiled with the ANSI options.

                            Fixes a problem where the linker (ld) could not
                            read arguments longer than 1024 characters in
                            input files.  This also adds proper support for
                            line continuation characters.

                            Fixes a linker problem where including a shared
                            library on a link line twice with another
                            library in between caused unresolved symbols in
                            some cases.

                            Fixes two problems in the linker where it would
                            erronreously report "multiply defined symbol"
                            errors or "unresolved symbol" errors.



                            Modifies the linker's symbol resolution to
                            enable it to recognize when a reference to a
                            symbol defined in a shared library is replaced
                            by a symbol defined in an object file or
                            archive.

                            Modifies the linker to cause it to rescan shared
                            libraries before reporting unresolved symbols.



                            Fixes a problem where the linker defined symbol
                            _fpdata would end up being undefined if it was
                            referenced by a program but not used by the
                            linker.

                            Fixes two errors that occur when using the -f
                            switch with the linker (ld):



                            Using the -f switch produces link errors.

                            Any unsupported switch beginning with -f gets
                            interpreted to mean -f.

                            thread attributes list.  The attribute sets the
                            contention scope of the thread to be created.

                            Fixes a problem that occurs when using the C

                            wildcard expansion and command substitution is
                            run in csh, incorrect results are produced.

                            Fixes a problem in which the vquota, vedquota,
                            quota, edquota, dump, csh, and nslookup commands
                            will sometimes display incorrect error messages
                            for non-English locales.

                            Fixes a problem in which the dump command fails
                            when the full patchname of the output file is
                            not given.

                            Fixes the problem that csh may omit the data
                            byte 0x80 when processing a string in the
                            ja_JP.SJIS or zh_TW.big5 locales.

                            Fixes a problem with the quota command.  When
                            issuing a quota command the UID will be negative
                            if the UID is greater than 16 bits.

                            Fixes a problem with the edquota utility, which
                            prevented a user from creating quotas for UIDs
                            or GIDs that did not already exist in the
                            /etc/passwd or /etc/group files.

 continued
                            Fixes problems that occur when using the ksh
                            shell.  When the PATH for a command is not
                            found, the following error message is displayed.
                            Also, when the set command is executed, the
                            system core dumps.

                            /bin/ksh: invalid multibyte character


                            Fixes a problem in which the ksh command
                            periodically prints erroneous characters instead
                            of the command that was typed.

                            Fixes a problem that occurs when using the Korn
                            shell (ksh).  Variables set with the typeset
                            -L[n] built-in command do not work correctly
                            when other subshells are spawned.

                            Fixes a problem that was caused by the Korn
                            shell running in EMACS mode.  When a window was
                            resized with a width that exceeded 160
                            characters, the next command (or even a carriage
                            return) would cause the ksh utility to core
                            dump.

                            Fixes a memory management problem that occurs on
                            systems running the Korn shell.  Incorrect
                            results occur when the length of the parameter
                            to the echo command is altered.

                            Fixes a problem when built-in variables (for
                            example, TMOUT) are exported as read only with
                            values > 256.  The set command (display all
                            variables) will cause ksh to core dump with the
                            error "stack overflow".

                            Corrects a problem that results in a superuser
                            being able to inadvertently bring the system
                            down to single user mode by accidentally killing
                            PID 1 (init) when trying to kill a background
                            job (%1).

                            Fixes a TCP/IP problem that can occur with
                            programs linked with the libc library.  These
                            programs may return a value of (-1) when calling
                            the svc_tcp() function.

                            Fixes a problem with rexec(3) losing socket
                            descriptors.

                            Corrects two problems:

                            A memory leak when small blocks are allocated
                            with valloc().



                            Fixes a problem in which RPC client functions do
                            not correctly handle system calls interrupted by
                            a signal (EINTR errors).

                            Fixes a problem whereby exceptions propagating
                            out of (or thrown from) __init routines in C (or
                            C++) programs are not caught by the last-chance
                            handler and result in an infinite loop.

                            Fixes a scanset processing problem in swscanf().

                            Fixes a memory leak in the libc glob() function.

                            Fixes a problem with printing floating-point
                            values using the width and precision specifiers.
                            Previously, the leading and trailing zero counts
                            were often miscalculated.

                            Fixes a virtual memory problem that may cause
                            the system to panic with one of the following
                            messages:

                            Fixes a problem with strftime() when using
                            width/precision modifiers with the %y field.

                            A potential security vulnerability has been
                            discovered where, under certain circumstances,
                            system integrity may be compromised.  This may
                            be in the form of improper file or privilege
                            management.  Compaq has corrected this potential
                            vulnerability.

                            Fixes a problem in which BIND client
                            applications are not able to resolve node names.
                            Network applications running on a BIND client
                            such as ping, telnet, and ftp using node names
                            that are resolved by a BIND server will result
                            in resolution errors such as "unknown host".

                            Fixes a problem whereby a program that is
                            compiled with the -pthread or -threads option
                            and the -p or -pg option will not terminate if
                            the _exit(2) library routine is called when the
                            program is executed.

                            Fixes a problem with /usr/bin/ksh and the
                            named-pipe (FIFO) communication that is used by
                            applications.

                            Corrects a problem that was causing ksh to core
                            dump in vi editing mode.  ksh was core dumping
                            intermittently when using a dot (.) to repeat a
                            command.

                            Fixes unexpected logouts and terminal hangups
                            encountered when using the /bin/su command and
                            /bin/ksh as a login shell.

                            Fixes a problem from a previous libc patch in
                            which the gethostbyaddr function is not able to
                            resolve node names.  Nonstandard characters that
                            fall out of the standard set, such as
                            underscores, cause a node name resolution
                            problem for the gethostbyaddr function.

                            ksh does a segmentation fault and core dumps
                            when displaying a here-document.

                            Fixes a problem in the csh shell that caused a
                            change in the way wildcard patterns were
                            matched.  The problem resulted in the error:

                            Glob aborted - Permission denied.

 Patch 1174.00

 continued
                            Fixes a problem that may cause the malloc suite
                            of functions to show heavy mutex lock contention
                            in multithreaded applications running on multi-
                            CPU systems.

                            Introduces changes to the DECthreads libraries
                            intended to improve the performance of threaded
                            applications running on DIGITAL UNIX V4.0D.
                            This patch specifically addresses the areas of
                            thread scheduling, synchronization object
                            performance and SMP scalability.

                            Fixes a problem in libc that may cause a hang in
                            a multithreaded process that does forking and
                            loading of shared objects.

                            The routines wprintf(), swprint(), and
                            fwprintf() do not handle the S format correctly.
                            Instead of treating the data as logical
                            characters, they treat data as bytes.

                            Fixes a problem where C shell background
                            processes started from within a terminal
                            emulator window (dtterm, dxterm, or xterm) exit
                            when the terminal emulator window is closed.

                            Fixes a core dump from ksh.

                            Corrects the printing of Japanese SJIS strings
                            that are assigned to shell variables in the C
                            shell (csh).

                            Corrects a problem that may cause ksh to
                            coredump when displaying a large here-document
                            in a ksh script.

                            Fixes a problem with the wcstod system call
                            causing a core dump.

                            Fixes problems with rsh(1), rlogin(1) rcp(1) if
                            netgroup names are defined with capital letters.

                            Fixes a problem with the Korn shell where data
                            loss occurs when commnds are piped together.

                            Fixes a problem with portmap by allowing RPC
                            select() timeouts to occur when interrupted by
                            signals.

                            Modifies the strftime() function to make the %V
                            format specifier return the correct week.



 2-160 Summary of Base Operating System Patches








                            Fixes bugs in the DECthreads library that would
                            affect threaded applications running on DIGITAL
                            UNIX V4.0D.  The changes are related to
                            synchronous signal processing and thread
                            scheduling.

                            Corrects how the C shell handles 2-byte
                            characters when running in the Japanese SJIS
                            locale.

                            Fixes a problem of password error messages not
                            being displayed during installation of the
                            security subsystem.

                            Fixes a problem in ksh which required two
                            SIGTERM signals to be sent to the process when
                            it exec'ed.

                            Fixes a problem in which ufs_fsck can get
                            blocked while attempting to flush NFS buffers
                            for a service that has become suspended.

                            Fixes a problem that was causing the csh
                            globbing function to be extremely slow when
                            accessing file information on NFS, AFS, or VMS
                            file systems.

                            Fixes a problem in the C shell (csh) in which a
                            segmentation fault will occur when the user
                            defines an environmental variable that exceeds
                            the 2048 character limitation.  This limit has
                            been lengthened to 8192 characters.

 Patch 1174.00

 continued
                            Fixes a problem in ksh in which a space after
                            the -p switch would cause the command to fail.

                            A potential security vulnerability has been
                            discovered where, under certain circumstances
                            users may gain unauthorized access.  Compaq has
                            corrected this potential vulnerability.

                            Increases the length of the user names for rsh
                            and rexec to allow for NT interoperabilty.

                            Fixes a problem in ksh.  When the current
                            working directory is / and the command cd ..  is
                            entered, the following error message was
                            displayed:

                            ksh: ..: bad directory


                            Fixes a problem where gmtime() was erroneously
                            setting the tzname[0] array.

                            Fixes a C shell problem where multibyte
                            characters may not be displayed properly inside
                            quotes.

                            Fixes a problem in libc that affects debugger
                            tracebacks of code containing split procedures.

                            Adds functionality to termminate the resulting
                            string from calls to swprintf().

                            Addresses performance and scalibility issues for
                            highly contended threaded applications running
                            on SMP machines.

                            Fixes a problem for those applications that
                            assume initial allocations of memory from the C
                            run-time library's malloc() function will return
                            only zero-filled memory.

                            Fixes a getnetgrent(3) memory leak.

                            Fixes two ksh problems that occur in multi-byte
                            Asian locales.

                            Fixes a problem that might occur with threaded
                            applications linked against older versions of
                            DECthreads.  The DECthreads internal symbol
                            __pthreads_legacy_init_routine may show up as an
                            unresolved symbol at load time when those

                            applications are run on systems on which a newer
                            version of DECthreads has been installed.

                            A potential security vulnerability has been
                            discovered where, under certain circumstances,
                            system integrity may be compromised.  This may
                            be in the form of improper file or privilege
                            management.  Compaq has corrected this potential
                            vulnerability.

                            Fixes a possible handling problem with multibyte
                            character boundary conditions in ksh script

 OSF425-1058
                            SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: Supersedes patches OSF425-933 (987.00),
                            OSF425-937 (991.00), OSF425-994 (1055.00)

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Corrects a problem with the fgrep command; when
                            it is used with the -s flag all output is
                            suppressed.

                            Fixes a limitation problem with the grep and
                            fgrep commands.  If the line length is too long,
                            grep displays a "wordlist too large" error
                            message, and fgrep displays an "input too long"
                            error message.

                            The command fgrep -f searchlist gets the
                            following error message:

                            wordlist too large

                            if the searchlist is too long.  In the test case
                            it was 1500 entries.

                            The command fgrep -f searchlist displays
                            datafiles verbatim if the searchlist has blank
                            lines.

                            Fixes a problem in which the grep command with
                            the -w switch does not work as documented.

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Fixes a problem in which /usr/bin/pax : cpio -pl
                            does not link files when possible, but copies
                            them.

                            Fixes a problem with the tar and pax programs.
                            These programs incorrectly append files to an
                            existing archive and cause the file to become
                            corrupt.

                            Fixes pax's tar and cpio archive handling to
                            allow filesizes greater than 4GB.

                            Corrects the problem where tar dumps core when
                            trying to untar a compressed archive.

                            Fixes a problem in which the pax program
                            (invoked as pax, tar, or cpio) incorrectly
                            handles files larger than 4 GB in size.

                            The tar/pax program did not always read the last
                            tape record of an archive.  This caused
                            confusion for scripts that were reading a series
                            of archives on the no-rewind device.

                            Fixes a problem that caused incorrect file dates
                            to be restored when pax was used to copy files.
                            The problem occured in the following cases:



                            If the file was a non-empty directory.

                            If the file was the target of another symbolic
                            link.



                            Fixes a cpio hanging problem in the Japanese
                            locales.

                            Fixes a problem with the tar command.

                            Corruption occurs when restoring a file system
                            that contains more than two hard links to a
                            file.

                            Corrects pax/tar/cpio to properly extract
                            explicitly specified files.  When an archive
                            contained a file with extended attributes and a
                            different file (occurring later in the archive)
                            was specified to be extracted, improper buffer
                            pointer management resulted in the following
                            display (example uses tar):

                            tar: /dev/nrmt0h : This doesn't look like a tar archive
                            tar: /dev/nrmt0h : Skipping to next file...
                            tar: Memory allocation failed for extended data while reading :
                            Not enough space


                            The directory option was similarly affected.  In
                            this case the information for the specified file
                            was not reported.

                            Fixes a problem where the tar -F (Fasttar)
                            option ignores files named err but does not
                            ignore files named errs and directories named
                            SCCS and RCS.

                            OSF425-891 (949.00)This patch corrects the
                            following:



                            Fixes a problem with the vi editor environment
                            variable EXINIT that occurs when EXINIT includes
                            the editors so subcommand.

                            Corrects the following two problems, which can
                            occur when using vi to edit files 100 MB or
                            larger:



                            The terminal settings can be disrupted causing
                            the window to be unusable.

                            A core dump may occur.



                            Fixes a problem where vi puts the server port
                            into PASSALL MODE (where XON/XOFF is no longer
                            effective).  This creates garbage in the file.

                            Fixes the error handling when invalid multibyte
                            sequences are encountered in the more, ex and vi
                            commands.

                            Fixes a problem in which the vi editor core
                            dumps when it finds invalid syntax during a
                            substitute operation.

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            A potential security vulnerability has been
                            discovered where, under certain circumstances,
                            system integrity may be compromised.  This may
                            be in the form of improper file or privilege
                            management.  Compaq has corrected this potential
                            vulnerability.

                            Fixes a problem in which a BIND server may find
                            that named will place a warning message in the
                            daemon.log that was not previously seen.

                            Fixes a problem in which a BIND server writes
                            files to the /etc/namedb directory instead of
                            the /var/tmp directory.

                            Fixes a problem where named could possibly core
                            dump when printing an informational message to
                            syslog.

                            Fixes a problem of named producing a core file
                            when named is started and the named.boot file
                            has more than 32767 zones specified.

                            Updates sys_check utility to version V111.

                            Provides the following changes to the sys_check
                            utility:



                            Fixes the ra200info tool from core dumping.

                            Updates the sys_check utility to revision 114.



                            Provides a new collection information tool used
                            by the sys_check utility.

                            Fixes the following two problems with the
                            collect information tool:



                            A security hole where a user can become root.

                            collect can not start at boot time due to
                            incorrectly handling SIGHUP signal.

                            Fixes several problems with the collect command
                            and adds sysloging when collect suspends,
                            resumes, or receives a signal.

                            Upgrades sys_check utility to v119 and provides
                            the following changes:



                            Fixes the ra200info tool from core dumping.

                            Utilizes Compaq Analyze when available.

                            Utilizes storage's new cliscript tool in place
                            of hszterm.

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Fixes a problem where the lpq command causes the
                            program to crash (memory fault).

                            Fixes a problem with the lpd line printer
                            daemon.  When /sbin/init.d/lpd stop, is followed
                            right away by /sbin/init.d/lpd start, the new
                            lpd fails to start.  The error message from
                            syslog is:

                            /usr/spool/lpd.lock: locking failed: Operation would block


                            Fixes to improve the reliability and efficiency
                            of DIGITAL UNIX print services.

                            Provides support to the BSD lpd(8) print system
                            for DIGITAL UNIX Advanced Printing System (APX).

                            Fixes a problem where, under certain
                            circumstances, a print queue becomes disabled
                            and printing stops.

                            Provides printer support for the Euro currency
                            symbol provided in the UTF-8 Unicode locales.

                            When printing jobs, a timeout can occur after 5
                            minutes which causes some large print jobs to
                            stop, and then resume printing from the
                            beginning of the print job.

                            When slave lpd daemons try to process jobs on
                            the print queue, some of them can fail to obtain
                            a lock on the lock file and exit with an error.

                            Fixes a problem where some print jobs will print
                            out twice.

                            Fixes a problem where remote print job may fail
                            to print, with the error message:



                      Summary of Base Operating System Patches 2-171








                            lstat/open failed for dfA... no such file or directory.


                            If a print job is printing, and the connection
                            to the remote printer is lost, the print job
                            does not resume printing once the connection is
                            restored.

                            Sometimes, as sequence numbers wrap around from
                            999 to 000, job 000 gets submitted before and
                            prints before job 999.

                            lpstat -u output is incorrect.

                            When using the I18N ya option, the queue daemon
                            filters will terminate after 32 jobs.

                            Under certain circumstances, print jobs are
                            terminated when printing to certain printers
                            that are connected to a DECserver through
                            TCP/IP.

                            Fixes a problem with the lpstat -u command
                            output.

                            Fixes a printing problem where lpd reads any
                            data from the printer that has not been read for
                            local and remote connections.  The read-backs
                            for remote connections cause an addtional two

                            failure on the job-number wraparound.

                            Corrects a problem in which, under certain
                            conditions, unnecessary error messages are
                            written to the lpr.log file.

 Patch 1188.00

 continued
                            A user is unable to delete a print job from a
                            remote system with a hostname greater than 32
                            characters because the hostname was truncated.

                            When a TCP/IP connection fails, the retry
                            algorithm would take longer to print jobs due to
                            a long retry interval.

                            A timing hole during lpd last-job completion and
                            shutdown needed to be closed.

                            It was not possible to print to the lpd queue
                            using Windows 2000.

                            Introduces the JJ /etc/printcap parameter, which
                            allows the user to choose either one TCP/IP
                            connection for all jobs in the print queue
                            (JJ=1), or a TCP/IP connection for each job in
                            the print queue ( ).  It also closes a timing
                            hole that existed when lpd was shutting down.

                            Fixes a problem in which lpd hangs when printing
                            to advanced server queues (using /dev/null).

                            Fixes memory leaks with the FDDI and Token Ring
                            method routines used with Extensible SNMP
                            subagent (ESNMP).

                            Fixes the os_mibs source file, hrm_fs.c, which
                            makes a call to the statfs function with 2
                            arguments, when statfs expects 3 arguments.

                            Fixes the problem where a malformed trap message
                            sent at boot-time by the DIGITAL UNIX SNMP
                            daemon to a Windows NT Network Management
                            Station (NMS) could cause the NMS application or
                            the NT operating system to crash.

                            Fixes a problem wherein os_mibs would core dump.

                            supports OpenMP parallel applications, caused by
                            the failure to check the return status after

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Fixes an automount problem.  An automount map
                            file entry that included a comment was being
                            parsed incorrectly, resulting in an error.

                            Fixes a problem in which the automount daemon
                            hangs when invoked by the rsh command.

                            Prevents the message "nfscast: select: Invalid
                            argument" message from appearing in the
                            daemon.log when the server is not available.

                            Changes the "trymany: servers not responding:
                            RPC: Unable to receive" message to an
                            informational rather than an error message.

                            Fixes the automount handling of the nogrpid
                            option.

                            This patch corrects the following problems:



                            Various rpc.lockd problems.

                            Corrects two problems.  The first change moves
                            locked files from the message queue to the held
                            list once.  The second change adds code to allow
                            locked files leftover from a server reboot to
                            timeout and be transmitted to the server.

                            Fixes a problem in rpc.lockd where the FCNTL ()
                            function fails to lock NFS mounted directories.

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Fixes a problem in which the CDE file manager
                            (dtfile) fails to open files that use dtpad as
                            the exec'd action.  This includes both double-
                            clicking on the file and using Open from the
                            Selected pulldown menu.

                            Fixes a problem where the Account Manager
                            application, dxaccounts, gets a "BadPixmap"
                            error when selecting an account after the View

                            been selected.

                            Fixes a problem where, if dtpad cannot allocate
                            enough memory, it will exit and leave a zero-
                            length file in place of the file being edited.

                            Fixes a problem in which a system can hang when
                            inetd tries to start a daemon listed in
                            inetd.conf which is not installed on the system.
                            This can occur when a user attempts to telnet to
                            the port reserved for the nonexistent daemon.

                            Corrects a problem with inetd which could result
                            in its termination without notice and without a

                            by X applications where freeing a GC would not
                            free all its memory.  This problem is most
                            likely to occur in systems with a Cateyes
                            graphics board (4D40T, 4D50T, 4D60T, or 4D51T).

                            Fixes a problem where when running the Common
                            Desktop Environment (CDE) on a system with more
                            than one graphics card and monitor (multihead),
                            sometimes new windows were visible when the
                            screen was locked.

                            Fixes a problem on multihead systems in which
                            the unlock display only works if the default
                            display is screen 0.

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Fixes a problem where the X server could core

                            occur when a client repeatedly created and

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Fixes a problem on the DIGITAL 8200/8400
                            machines where CPUs may be bombarded with
                            interrupts.  The high amount of interrupts may
                            cause simple lock timeouts and kernel memory
                            faults.

                            Fixes the following problems found on
                            AlphaServer 8400/8200 class machine:



                            A system hang or error messages being printed to
                            the console.  This is seen when a loadable
                            driver is unloaded.

                            A pcia error system panic or machine check.



                            Prevents a panic on TurboLaser systems with a
                            DE600 in PCI slot 0.  Misidentification of the
                            DE600 in PCI slot 0 causes data structure
                            corruption.

                            TurboLaser systems include the following:

                            AlphaServer 8200 AlphaServer 8400

                            Fix for rdist utility to prevent segmentation
                            fault.

                            Fixes a problem where rdist dumps core when
                            trying to copy a partition using the rdist
                            command.

                            Fixes a problem with rdist(1) which consumes
                            huge amounts of memory; when there are many
                            symlinks in the fileset, it can fail to fully
                            populate the remote site or cause low-memory
                            problems on the local machine.

                            A potential security vulnerability has been
                            discovered where, under certain circumstances,
                            system integrity may be compromised.  This may
                            be in the form of improper file or privilege
                            management.  Compaq has corrected this potential
                            vulnerability.

                            Corrects a problem in the rdist utility which
                            was causing segmentation faults on files with
                            more than one link.

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Fixes a problem with the ftp daemon, ftpd, and
                            its use of authenticated user information.  The
                            daemon was using incorrect information for
                            logging and validation of usernames.

                            Fixes a problem that occurs when using ftp.
                            When mget or nlist specify a filename with
                            metacharacters and the mode is ASCII, the file
                            is returned with as the end-of-file separator.
                            With this patch, files are returned with as the
                            end-of-file separator.

                            A potential security vulnerability has been
                            discovered where, under certain circumstances,
                            system integrity may be compromised.  This may

                            Corrects a problem with the ftpd daemon which
                            could result in PC ftp clients hanging when
                            transferring some files in ASCII mode.

                            This patch corrects the following:



                            Fixes a problem in which running the vquotacheck
                            command on a filesystem participating in an ASE
                            service will cause a system to panic if the
                            service fails over or relocates while the
                            command is in progress.

                            Fixes a problem that could cause an AdvFS panic
                            when a service that has quotas enabled is
                            relocated.  The problem occurs if a command is

                            This patch fixes the following problems:



                            If a cluster member issued a drdadmin command to
                            create new DRD map entry while another member is
                            rebooting or had explicitly issued a SCSI bus
                            reset, the command may fail with the following
                            message:

                            drdadmin: Error: Can not add map entry for drdadmin:

                            During system startup, as each DRD map entry is
                            being added.  the following informational
                            message may be seen on the console:

                            No cluster has been setup, there are 0 nodes.


                            Fixes a problem where drdadmin does not properly
                            build the drdtab file during bootup.

                            This patch fixes the following problems:



                            Problem with the Memory Channel API whereby the
                            function imc_asalloc did not allow a negative
                            key (most significant bit of key being set).

                            Problem that caused mcm_init to core dump when
                            resolver fails on system boot.

                            Problem in which a resolver failure produces an
                            unhelpful error message from mcm_init on boot.

                            Problem with the Memory Channel API whereby the
                            function imc_ckerrcnt was signifying an error
                            had occurred when in fact no error had occurred.
                            The following is the error code seen when
                            running an MPI code:

                            This patch fixes the following problems:



                            Fixes a problem in the message service routines
                            used by the daemons in TruCluster Available
                            Server and TruCluster Production Server
                            software.  When the message queue fills, the
                            following message is entered in the daemon.log
                            file, but the queue is not emptied:

                            msgSvc: message queue overflow, LOST MESSAGE!


                            From this point on, no further messages will be
                            received.

                            Fixes a problem in Version 1.5 of the TruCluster
                            Production Server and TruCluster Available
                            Server products where, during the start of a
                            service, missing special device files were not
                            being created for HSZ disks.  Since the special
                            device files did not get created, the service
                            start would fail.

                            Fixes a segmentation fault that can cause ASE
                            daemons to exit or hang.

                            Fixes a problem where the Host Status Monitor
                            (asehsm) incorrectly reports a network down
                            (HSM_NI_STATUS DOWN) if the counters for the
                            network interface get zeroed.

                            Fixes a problem that caused the asedirector to
                            core dump if asemgr processes were modifying
                            services from more than one node in the cluster
                            at the same time.

                            Fixes scalability problems in the DECsafe
                            Available Server, TruCluster Available Server,
                            and TruCluster Production Server products.  The
                            problems caused the asemgr to core dump when
                            adding or modifying services with a large number
                            of disks.

                            Fixes several problems related to ASE service
                            relocation and reporting in the event of network
                            failures.

                            Fixes a problem that could cause the ASE daemons
                            or asemgr utility to core dump with a
                            segmentation violation.

                            Fixes a problem where, under certain
                            circumstances, an ASE service modification could
                            result in a corrupted configuration data base.

                            Fixes several TCR problems involving large sites
                            with services containing large numbers of DRDs.

                            Fixes a problem in Version 1.5 of the TruCluster
                            Production Server and Available Server products
                            where, during the start of a service, missing

                            (asehsm) incorrectly reports a network down
                            (HSM_NI_STATUS DOWN) if the counters for the
                            network interface get zeroed.

                            Fixes a problem that caused the asedirector to
                            core dump if asemgr processes were modifying
                            services from more than one node in the cluster
                            at the same time.

                            Fixes scalability problems in the DECsafe

                            problems caused the asemgr to core dump when
                            adding or modifying services with a large number
                            of disks.

                            Fixes several problems related to ASE service
                            relocation and reporting in the event of network
                            failures.

                            Fixes a problem that could cause the ASE daemons
                            or asemgr utility to core dump with a
                            segmentation violation.

                            Corrects problems with temporary files not being
                            removed and eliminates the need for one
                            temporary file.

                            Fixes a problem that can cause the asemgr
                            utility to core dump when modifying services
                            that contain a large number of disks.

                            Fixes a number of ASE behavior problems
                            resulting from network cable failure.

                            Fixes several TCR problems involving large sites
                            with services containing large numbers of DRDs.

                            Fixes a problem that caused the ASE daemons and
                            asemgr to core dump when the lookup for an IP
                            address failed.

                            Performance improvement in the startup of start
                            scripts.  It will reduce the necessary system
                            calls to start the scripts.

                            057 (70.00)

                            This patch fixes the following problems in the
                            ASE Availability Manager (AM):



                            A "simple_lock: time limit exceeded" panic on
                            multiprocessor and system hangs in single
                            processor systems.  This can occur when multiple
                            host target mode requests are issued due to SCSI
                            aborts and resets on a shared bus.

                            A kernel memory fault panic caused by a race
                            condition when the AM de-initializes.

                            Fixes a problem in which tape services may not
                            failover as expected.

                            Fixes two problems:



                            A problem in which the following messages may
                            appear in the binary error log:

                            SCSI STATUS RESERVATION CONFLICT Target xx Lun xx


                            or:

                            Max SEND SCSI BUSY retries exhausted


                            A problem in which a system may panic if the
                            system has an IDE interface and ASE is then
                            installed.



                            Fixes a problem in clustered systems.  It
                            reduces the occurrences of tmv2_notify_cbf error
                            messages in the errlog.

                            Fixes the following TCR problems:



                            After error events are processed, a timing hole
                            exists whereby important events can be lost.

                            After a HSZ controller failure, SCSI device
                            reservations could get lost because the error
                            events are not being ordered properly.

                            This patch fixes the following problems:



                            Problem that can cause a cluster member to panic
                            in rcv_deqlk_msg() with the panic string set to:

                            dlm_panic


                            Provides performance enhancements that are
                            required by Oracle V8.0.5.

                            Fixes a system panic with the following message:

                            snd_grantlk_msg: no memory for message


                            Fixes a problem in TruCluster in which a node
                            panics with the string dlm_panic.

                            Fixes a problem in the TruCluster Production
                            Server Software in which a system can panic with
                            the following message:

                            dlm getch: illegal csid


                            Fixes a deadlock condition between the DLM
                            rebuild thread and the Connection Manager ping
                            daemon (cnxpingd).  The deadlock can cause users
                            of DLM (e.g., Oracle) to hang.

                            Fixes a problem in which a cluster node can
                            panic with the panic string "convert_lock: bad
                            lock state".

                            Corrects a problem in which a failure in the
                            session layer can cause DLM messages to become
                            corrupt resulting in random DLM panic on the
                            receiving member.

                            Fixes a problem that can cause a TruCluster
                            member to panic during shutdown.

                            This patch fixes the following problems:



                            Provides support in asemgr for the new AdvFS
                            mount option -o noatimes.

                            Fixes a problem in which, under certain
                            circumstances, an ASE service modification could
                            result in a corrupted configuration data base.

                            Fixes a problem in which a service fails to
                            start when the ASE service name and the AdvFS
                            domain name are identical.

                            Fixes a problem where LSM disk information was
                            not properly updated in the ASE database when
                            volumes were removed from a disk service.

                            Fixes a deadlock condition between the DLM
                            rebuild thread and the Connection Manager ping
                            daemon (cnxpingd).  The deadlock can cause users
                            of DLM (e.g., Oracle) to hang.

                            Fixes a problem that would cause an error from
                            awk(1) when modifying an ASE service that
                            contained a large number of LSM volumes.  The
                            error would prevent the service from being
                            properly modified.

                            Fixes a problem where LSM disk information was
                            not properly updated in the ASE database when
                            volumes were removed from a disk service.

                            Fixes a problem that caused shell errors if an
                            invalid mount option was specified via the
                            asemgr menu.

                            This patch fixes the following problems:



                            Problem with the Memory Channel API whereby the
                            function imc_asalloc did not allow a negative
                            key (most significant bit of key being set).

                            Problem that caused mcm_init to core dump when
                            resolver fails on system boot.

                            Problem in which a resolver failure produces an
                            unhelpful error message from mcm_init on boot.

                            Problem with the Memory Channel API whereby the
                            function imc_ckerrcnt was signifying an error
                            had occured when in fact no error had occurred.
                            The following is the error code seen when
                            running an MPI code:

                            [5]MPI Die-ump2chck.c 91 "ump_wait failure" (-
                            16)


                            Fixes a problem that can cause a panic in
                            mcs_wait_cluster_event() when using the Memory
                            Channel API.

                            Fixes a problem with the Memory Channel API
                            whereby a node crashes holding an MC-API lock,
                            under certain circumstances the lock will not be

                            Problem booting a second member into a cluster.

                            In a virtual hub cluster, shutting down one node
                            can cause the other to crash.  Typical panic
                            strings on the node that crashes are as follows:

                            rm_failover_self


                            and

                            rm_failover_all: target rail offline


                            Various repairs in Memory Channel error
                            handling.  Fixes for virtual hub booting with
                            cable unplugged.

                            Various problems with MC errror handling
                            discovered in cable pull under load tests.

                            Hubless MC2 systems hang during boot and/or
                            experience error interrupts.

                            Reliable datagram (RDG) messaging support.

                            RDG: bug fix to the completion queue
                            synchronization protocol.

                            Fixes a kernel memory fault in
                            rm_lock_update_retry().

                            Fixes a problem where both nodes in a cluster
                            will panic at the same time with a simple_lock
                            timeout panic.

                            Fixes a problem which can cause the following

                            Fixes a problem where /sbin/init.d/clumember
                            produces an error message during system startup
                            if DRD_AUTO_FAILOVER is not defined in

                            Fixes a problem that could cause a TruCluster
                            Production server member to hang during boot,
                            and can cause a "simple lock time limit
                            exceeded" panic.

                            returned when the Cluster software should wait
                            until a global lock is freed.

                            This patch fixes the following problems:



                            Fixes a problem in the message service routines
                            used by the daemons in TruCluster Available
                            Server and TruCluster Production Server
                            software.  When the message queue fills, the
                            following message is entered in the daemon.log
                            file, but the queue is not emptied:

                            msgSvc: message queue overflow, LOST MESSAGE!


                            From this point on, no further messages will be
                            received.

                            Fixes a problem in Version 1.5 of the TruCluster
                            Production Server and TruCluster Available
                            Server products where, during the start of a
                            service, missing special device files were not
                            being created for HSZ disks.  Since the special
                            device files did not get created, the service
                            start would fail.

                            Fixes a segmentation fault that can cause ASE
                            daemons to exit or hang.

                            Fixes a problem where the Host Status Monitor
                            (asehsm) incorrectly reports a network down

                            (HSM_NI_STATUS DOWN) if the counters for the
                            network interface get zeroed.

                            Fixes a problem that caused the asedirector to
                            core dump if asemgr processes were modifying
                            services from more than one node in the cluster
                            at the same time.

                            Fixes scalability problems in the DECsafe
                            Available Server, TruCluster Available Server,
                            and TruCluster Production Server products.  The
                            problems caused the asemgr to core dump when
                            adding or modifying services with a large number
                            of disks.

                            Fixes several problems related to ASE service
                            relocation and reporting in the event of network
                            failures.

                            Fixes a problem that could cause the ASE daemons
                            or asemgr utility to core dump with a
                            segmentation violation.

                            Fixes a problem where the ASE management
                            utility, asemgr, consumes increasing amounts of
                            memory when invoked to add several services to
                            the database at one time.  Under certain
                            circumstances it could consume all the available
                            memory, causing allocation failures.

                            Fixes two related problems:



                            Initialize hostname field properly because
                            lower-layer code may de-reference it.

                            Handle an error from IPToHost() properly.
                            Failure to handle this error properly could
                            result in the aseagent core dumping.

 Patch 123.00

 continued
                            Corrects a problem in TCR 1.5 that would fail to
                            recognize HOST_DISC as an up and running state.

                            Corrects problems with temporary files not being
                            removed and eliminates the need for one
                            temporary file.

                            Fixes a problem that can cause the asemgr
                            utility to core dump when modifying services
                            that contain a large number of disks.

                            Fixes a problem in the ASE API shared library
                            that can cause Networker (DECNSR) to core dump
                            if there are no services defined in an ASE.

                            Fixes a problem than can cause applications,
                            like Networker, which use the shared library:
                            libaseapi.so, to core dump when trying to get
                            the cluster name.

                            Fixes a problem in the ASE API shared library
                            (libaseapi.so) that could cause Networker to
                            core dump.

                            Fixes an ASE proablem where under certain
                            circumstances the service scripts could cause
                            the ase agent to loop during a start or stop
                            service.

                            Fixes a problem in which asemgr core dumps when
                            adding multiple services in a single session.

                            Fixes a number of ASE behavior problems
                            resulting from network cable failure.

                            Fixes several TCR problems involving large sites
                            with services containing large numbers of DRDs.

                            Fixes a problem that caused the ASE daemons and
                            asemgr to core dump when the lookup for an IP
                            address failed.

                            This is a performance improvement in the startup
                            of start scripts.  It will reduce the necessary
                            system calls to start the scripts.

                            Corrects a problem in which a member add will
                            fail in a large ASE environment.

                            Corrects a problem with Networker displaying
                            garbage characters following service names.  It

                            occurs when the service name is 8 characters or
                            greater.

                            Corrects a problem which causes asemgr to core
                            dump when modifying a drd service to add more
                            than 200 devices in a single service.

                            Corrects a problem which causes asemgr to core
                            dump when modifying a drd service to add more
                            than 200 devices in a single service.

                            Fixes a problem which caused a service not to
                            start when there was a short network failure.
                            This was seen only with long running stop
                            scripts and special network configurations.

                            Fixes a bug where ASE picks up an extra socket
                            after failing over.

                            Corrects a problem which causes an aseagent to
                            hang when restarting the ASE member.

                            Fixes the following TCR problems:



                            After error events are processed, a timing hole
                            exists whereby important events can be lost.

                            After a HSZ controller failure, SCSI device
                            reservations could get lost because the error
                            events are not being ordered properly.

                            Corrects a problem where modifying a service
                            with a large number of DRDs will fail and a
                            "could not malloc" message is seen in the
                            daemon.log.

                            Fixes a problem that caused the asemgr utility
                            to not run when called from a program that is
                            owned by root and has the setuid bit turned on.

                            Corrects a problem in which a network cable
                            failure that corrects within 7 seconds of the
                            failure can leave the services in a bad state.

                            Fixes a problem that caused the asemgr to get a
                            memory fault when adding multiple services in a
                            row.

                            Fixes a problem where timeout values of greater
                            than 30 seconds in /etc/hsm.conf would cause ASE
                            agent to fail at start up.

                            Fixes two issues with clusters:



                            Cluster is brought up with ASE off, other
                            members report it as UP and RUNNING instead of
                            UP and UNKNOWN.

                            When a restricted service is running on a
                            member, and asemember stop or aseam stop is
                            executed, the service status is still reported
                            as the member name, instead of Unassigned.



                            Fixes a problem that caused the asemgr to report
                            that a disk, or mount point, was in multiple
                            services when modifying a service name.

                            Fixes a bug where the aseagent will occasionally
                            core dump on a SCSI bus hang.

                            Fixes a problem with the ASE application from
                            reporting an incorrect status while booting,
                            after installation or while re-initializing the
                            database.
