ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for Advanced Server for UNIX V4.1 on Tru64 UNIX V4.0
through V5.0. This kit addresses the following problems:
Problems Addressed in ASU41ECO1_240:
The following ASU and Windows 2000 interoperability problems are
adddressed in this ECO1 kit:
o You could not configure the ASU server as a backup domain controller
(BDC) to a Windows 2000 primary domain controller (PDC).
This problem has been fixed.
o When configured as a BDC to a Windows 2000 PDC, the ASU server
crashed when the following command was entered to create a domain
user account:
net user /add
This problem has been fixed.
o You could not modify domain user passwords from a Windows 2000 BDC.
This problem has been fixed.
o You could not save files larger than 64KB in an ASU disk share. To
fix this problem, you must decrease the the value of the Max Message
Size registry entry to 65534 and restart the ASU server.
See the ASU Installation and Administration guide for information on
changing the value of a registry entry.
Compaq continues to actively test ASU and Windows 2000 interoperability.
However, until Windows 2000 is officially released, the potential exists
for new problems to arise. Compaq will continue to address Windows 2000
interoperability problems and, if necessary, will release another ECO kit
with fixes for any new problems shortly after Windows 2000 ships.
The following are general ASU problems that are addressed in this kit.
o The archive bit was not honored on files that were edited using the
notepad utility from a Windows system and saved in an ASU disk share.
This problem has been fixed.
o The lmx.srv process consumed excessive amounts of CPU time if a
client encountered a transport error while the ASU server was
breaking an oplock, processing a print request, or performing some
other time-consuming server operation.
This problem has been fixed.
o The lmspoolmap files were becoming corrupt, which caused printing to
sometimes fail after a day or two. The message "Error has been
detected in the Printer setup" was displayed. The workaround was to
delete the /usr/net/servers/lanman/spool/lmspoolmap* files.
This problem has been fixed.
o ASU did not allow a user's primary group to have the same name as
the domain name.
This problem has been fixed.
o Under certain circumstances, processes associated with the ASU
server could go into a defunct state upon shutdown. Error messages
such as "no such device" or "error in protocol" would be displayed
when the ASU server tried to restart.
This problem has been fixed.
o Under certain circumstances, the NetBEUI nbelink process could
terminate abnormally without creating a core file.
This problem has been fixed. In this ECO1 kit, all NetBEUI link
processes (nbelink and dllink) will handle all signals such that
they are ignored, cause the process to terminate normally, or create
a core file and stack trace as appropriate. These changes were
previously made for the NetBIOS over TCP/IP link process (knblink).
o The Power Users Group was not supported on a system configured as an
ASU member server.
This problem has been fixed.
o The ASU Installation and Administration guide incorrectly describes
how to configure a printer that is attached to a PC running the
MS-DOS operating system software as an ASU printer share.
See the asuclient(8) reference page for the correct configuration
information.
NOTE: The ASU V4.1 documentation was not updated for this ECO1 release.
This letter together with the ASU V4.1 documentation provides a
complete description of the ASU V4.1 ECO1 software. Some of the
problems listed in the ASU V4.1 Release Notes are fixed in this
ECO1 software, as described earlier in this document.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
This ECO1 kit is a complete software kit that includes the features and
functionality of the ASU V4.1 software and provides fixes for the
problems described in this document.
If you have ASU or ASDU subsets installed, then you can use the
asuinstallupdate command to replace the installed subsets with the
subsets in this ECO1 kit. Alternatively, you can use the Tru64 UNIX
setld command.
If you have PATHWORKS for DIGITAL UNIX subsets installed, then you must
use the Tru64 UNIX setld command to deinstall PATHWORKS for DIGITAL UNIX
subsets and install the subsets in this ECO1 kit.
The asuinstalludpate and setld commands are described in the following
sections.
The asuinstalludpate Command
----------------------------
You can use the asuinstalludpate command to automatically replace the
installed ASU or ASDU subsets with a new version and, optionally, install
additional ASU subsets. Your previous ASU or ASDU configuration,
registry, and user and share databases are unaffected while the subsets
are replaced and you do not need to use the asusetup command to configure
the ASU software.
The asuinstallupdate command is located in the directory where the ECO1
software was downloaded. To use the asuinstalludpate command, change to
the directory where the ECO1 software was downloaded, and enter:
# ./asuinstallupdate . [subset ...]
The setld Command
-----------------
Follow these steps to use the setld command to deinstall PATHWORKS, ASU,
or ASDU subsets and install the ECO1 software:
1. Deinstall the PATHWORKS, ASU, or ASDU subsets. To display the
installed PATHWORKS, ASDU, or ASU subsets, enter one of the
following commands depending on the software installed:
# /usr/sbin/setld -i | grep PATHWORKS | grep installed
# /usr/sbin/setld -i | grep ASU | grep installed
Deinstall the displayed subsets by entering the /usr/sbin/setld -d
command followed by the name of each subset that you want to
deinstall. For example, to deinstall the ASU Version 4.1 base,
transport, and reference page subsets, enter:
# /usr/sbin/setld -d ASUBASE410 ASUTRAN410 ASUMANPAGE410
While subsets are being deinstalled, you are prompted to save
configuration files and the user account and share databases. Save
these files and databases if you want to reuse them with the ECO1
software.
2. Install the ECO1 software by changing to the directory where the
ECO1 software was downloaded, entering the following command, and
following the instructions on the screen:
# setld -l .
