ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for Advanced Server V4.0 on DIGITAL UNIX V4.0A 
through V4.0D.  This kit addresses the following problems: 

Problems addressed in ASDUV40ECO2:

  o  Upgrade support from PATHWORKS Version 5.0g for DIGITAL UNIX (Advanced 
     Server) software to the ASDU software. See the ASDU Installation and   
     Administration guide for more information.                             
                                                                            
  o  The ASDU server can be configured to use the Korean locale to          
     communicate with clients.                                              
                                                                            
  o  A new lanman.ini parameter called debugmask can be used to control     
     the protections of log and crash files.                                
                                                                            
  o  A version of the ASDU Administrator that runs on an Alpha System       
     running Windows NT.                                                    
                                                                            
  o  Windows clients can access remote NFS files using group access.        
                                                                            
  o  Files in the /usr/users directory are no longer deleted when           
     deinstalling ASDU in a TruCluster environment.                        

  o  ASDU no longer crashes a system:

     - That is experiencing heavy network traffic and using an lmhosts
       file or domain name services (DNS) for wide area network computer
       name resolution.

     - When deleting or modifying a printer queue.


Problems addressed in ASDUV40ECO1:

  o  ASDU V4.0 did not support PATHWORKS client based licensing.  Licensed
     PATHWORKS clients would consume a server license when connecting to the
     ASDU server.  A license registrar was added to allow clients holding valid
     PATHWORKS client licenses to access the ASDU server without consuming a
     server license.

  o  An administrative lock is now explictly set by ASDU when creating UNIX
     users.  This has been done to ensure that UNIX accounts created by ASDU
     are not interactive until the administrator supplies a password to the
     account.

  o  TCP/IP name resolution using the lmhosts file has been improved.

  o  The browser process no longer deadlocks in domains where the PDC and
     BDCs are on different subnets.

  o  Lmx.srv process could use large amounts of cpu time when doing a call to
     get printing information because it checked in multiple areas.  ASDU was
     changed to check a single database before checking the print queues.



INSTALLATION NOTES:

The ASDU Version 4.0 ECO2 kit is a complete kit that you install by using
the setld utility. You must deinstall PATHWORKS for DIGITAL UNIX or ASDU      
subsets that were previously installed. See the Advanced Server for DIGITAL
