AlphaServer SC patch kit:
==========================

AlphaServer SC Version : SC V2.6 SSB 
Kit Name: SCV26SSB3206576334
Release Date: 06/30/2004
WFM Case: 3206576334
Abstract: scmountd security fixes

This patch does not contain any kernel mods so you do not have to
build or deploy kernels or reboot any nodes to install it.

You will have to stop scmountd temporarily while installing this patch
because it cannot be replaced while it is in use. You will not be able
to online or offline any SCFS or PFS file systems while scmountd is
stopped but otherwise there should be no effect on the operation of
the system.


Description of Patch:
=====================
1. Security fixes for scmountd.

2. Updated and simplified the report format used by the scfsmgr
   "status" command. Removed some unnecessary detail that made
   the status report difficult to interpret.

Instructions:
=============
This patch is provided as a setld installable kit. Unpack it into
a directory that is NFS mounted on the management station and all
domains e.g. /nfs/SCV26SSB3206576334 and install it as follows:

Patch required on Management Server (if used) : YES
Patch required on Domains                     : YES

Execute the following commands on the management station. If you
don't have a management station then execute them on node 0 of
the machine instead:

    Stop scmountd:
    # /sbin/init.d/scmountd stop

    Install the patch on the management station itself (if you have one):
    # cd /nfs/SCV26SSB3206576334
    # setld -l /nfs/SCV26SSB3206576334 SCV26SSB3206576334

    Install the patch on the domain nodes:
    # cd /nfs/SCV26SSB3206576334
    # scrun -d all setld -l /nfs/SCV26SSB3206576334 SCV26SSB3206576334

    Start the new scmountd:
    # /sbin/init.d/scmountd start

The new scmountd should be up and running at this point. You do not
need to build or deploy kernels or reboot any nodes.


To verify that you are using the new scmountd, type "scfsmgr status".
The status report has changed somewhat and the new format looks like this:

    # scfsmgr status
      No command in progress
        atlasD0: srad is responding, idle.
        atlasD1: srad is responding, idle.
      Commands in queue: 0
    # 

If you see an old-style status report like the one below you are still using
the old scmountd and need to investigate what went wrong. Most likely you
did not stop scmountd while installing the patch - you may not have been on
the correct node when you issued the "/sbin/init.d/scmountd stop" command.

    # scfsmgr status
      No command in progress
      Domain: atlasD0 (0)  state: responding  command: state: idle name:  (155); timer: not set
      Domain: atlasD1 (0)  state: responding  command: state: idle name:  (157); timer: not set
    # 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

To remove the patch use the following commands on the management station
(or node 0 if you don't have a management station):

    # /sbin/init.d/scmountd stop
    # setld -d SCV26SSB3206576334
    # scrun -d all setld -d SCV26SSB3206576334
    # /sbin/init.d/scmountd start
