ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DIGITAL Distributing Computing Environment (DCE) V2.0A

This ECO addresses the following problems:

  o Several configuration-related problems have been fixed

  o Problem fixed that would prevent multiple calls to rpc_rgy_get_codesets().

  o Fixed potential problem with registering protseqs

  o Fixed potential hang of RPC applications using connection-oriented 
    protocols

  o rpccp now handles SIGPIPE

  o Some libdce.so routines were renamed to avoid a conflict with standard 
    UNIX library implementations: hcreate(), hdestroy(), and hsearch()  

  o Fixed problem in CDS advertiser shutdown and CDS clerk startup

  o Fixed problem that can cause DCE applications built with libaio.so
    to hang during access to CDS

  o Fixed access of group_override file from sec_rgy_unix_get* routines

  o SIA can now be enabled/disabled without the presence of the X server.

  o Fixed some XDS problems having to do with reading attributes

  o Provided workaround for problem DTS was experiencing with certain 
    TULIP installations

  o Fixed problem in databases created with dce_db_open()

  o Some remaining known problems are listed in the Release Notes
