ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for DIGITAL DCE for Windows NT V1.1C on Microsoft
Windows NT V3.51 and V4.0 with Service Pack 3 installed. This kit
addresses the following problems:
PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN DCENT11CE03:
o Integrated login behavior has been changed. The login will now wait
up to 6 minutes, or until a DCE login is successful. This change is
included in the new dcestart.exe and dcecm.dll files.
o A memory leak has been fixed. This problem has been fixed with the
new libdce.dll.
PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN DCENT11CE02:
o NT services could hang when DCE integrated login is enabled and the
user starts an NT service using the "Log on as user" account feature
from control panel-service applet. This problem has been fixed with
the new DCEcm.dll. This same fix resolves the problem where an NT
process would hang if it invoked the WIN32 logon_user api while
DCE's integrated login was enabled.
o On a non-English version of the NT operating system, if an error
condition (system) occurred DCEstart.exe would crash. The problem
was also found in DCEsetup.exe and could produce similar results.
The problem has been fixed with the new DCEsetup.exe and
DCEstart.exe.
o Ordinarily, a credential file is deleted automatically by
sec_clientd if it has expired, and no later than 10 hours after
it has expired. The purpose of this new sec_clientd.exe is to
allow the administrator to delay the deletion of expired
credential files in var\security\creds. With this patch, the
administrator can set a system environment variable called
DCE_CREDCLEAN_GRACE, prior to starting the DCE host daemons, to
specify the number of days that sec_clientd should wait before
deleting an expired credential. This variable will not be be
supported in future versions of the product, although the
functionality will be available through DCEsetup.
o If a server application aborts, or its process is forcibly
terminated while TCP/IP connections exist, the client rpc_runtime
would remain in an unstable state and possibly cause an access
violation. This problem has been fixed with the new libdce.dll.
o Remote configurations failed if the user did not turn on both
Autostart and Enable Integrated Login from the Configure->Remote
Configuration dialog box. This problem has been fixed with the
new DCEsetup.exe.
o When configuring DCE on Windows NT (Alpha), the security server
would experience intermittent hangs. This problem has been fixed
in the new libdce.dll.
o When using the Generic Security Service API (gssapi), a call to
gss_accept_sec_content could fail with major code D000
(GSS_S_FAILURE) and minor code DCE50B1 (KRB5_KT_NOT_FOUND), even
though the correct keytable entry is present in the file
specified by a previous gssdce_register_acceptor_identity call.
This problem has been fixed in the new libdce.dll.
o If the TCP/IP interface was the 0th entry in the registry, DCE
runtime would fail to find the network while attempting to bring
up dced during configuration. This problem has been fixed in the
new libdce.dll.
o When Transarc's DFS 1.0.3c product was installed and the DCE/DFS
services started, if a user logged into a non-NT Administrator
account, logged into DCE, and then mapped a drive with NET USE, an
ACCESS DENIED message was reported when looking at the
/opt/dceloca/var/security/creds files for this users session.
This problem has been fixed in the new libdce.dll.
