ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for PATHWORKS for DIGITAL UNIX V5.0G on DIGITAL UNIX
V3.0 through V3.2G.
Problems addressed in the PWUNIX_ECO250G kit:
Lan Manager Changes
-------------------
o A problem adding users in pwadmin from a Backup Domain Controller.
Two fields on the "Add Users" Screen of PWADMIN were corrected.
o Lost lmx.srv process due to excessive simultaneous connect requests.
Enlarged the connect indication array to 2000, up from 256.
Also, added dynamic re-size of connect indication array.
o Added code to print a error message in /var/adm/messages file when
system runs out of knb or netbeui resources.
o Added full path to the lpr command to be passed to the runcmd() in
print subsystem.
o Changed knblink to bind to IP alias. Allows clients connection
across a WAN to a TruCluster Server.
Netware Changes
---------------
o Modified doprintf() to put output to a log file so debug can be
captured for later analysis. The file is configured to have a
maximum size. When the maximum file size is reached the file is
truncated and output to the file is continued.
Problems addressed in the PWK520_ECO1 kit:
LAN Manager changes
-------------------
o Changes were made to knb to improve the handling of disconnect
during session setup.
o Changes were made to the print subsystem to be able to turn off
tracking of submitted jobs via an undocumented lanman.ini
parameter.
o Changes were made to the file system interface to turn off write
behind in cases when a write error is likely to be lost or an error
is likely to occur. If the server reports the error on the close
(because of write-behind) it is not immediately reported to the
user. Now, write-behind is not in use for the first write to a
file after it is open. Also, write-behind is not in use on a share
that has had a write error until a write is successful.
o Before sending a disconnect message upstream from NetBEUI, check
that the upstream pointer has been set up to prevent a panic when
the NetBEUI SESSION_END is received before the SESSION_INITIALIZE.
o Before sending a disconnect message upstream from knbtcp, check
that the upstream pointer has been set up to prevent a panic when
the tcp connection is disconnected before the NetBIOS session is
initialized.
o Change the dialect preference list so that the VMS server dialect
is preferred over client dialects. This change allows the server
to work correctly with v5.0d PATHWORKS for VMS servers, which send
multiple dialects in the server.
o Correct buffer size calculations for the UserEnum2 API to correct
the "Out of Memory" error in pwadmin when listing a large number of
users.
o Add code to correctly expand a file when the write SMB specifies
zero byte to be written at an offset past the end of file. This
corrects a problem of the write SMB not functioning according to
spec and preventing some files from being saved in some MS
applications.
o Add "swapon -s" command to the lmprobe script.
NetWare changes
---------------
o Before adding a server to the changed list in sapd, check that it
is not already there. This fixes a process looping problem.
o When there is no free space on a volume, report the free space as
zero bytes in sconsole. This corrects an error in this sconsole
statistic.
o Change the nw_srv script to correctly detect if the server is
started in all cases. The script was sometimes detecting that the
server was started when it was not.
o Initialize a data structure in nwprint to correct a problem of
garbage appearing on the banner page.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Customers must de-install PATHWORKS for DIGITAL UNIX Base system subset
using setld:
- If any of the subsets are not installed, setld displays a
message to the user stating that. It also prompts the user to
make sure they really want to deinstall the subsets specified.
and re-install with new kit:
> /sbin/setld -l /kitdir
- /kitdir is the location of the kit. If the kit is on tape, the
most common tape drive specification is /dev/rmt0h. If the kit is
already on the system, /kitdir is the path to the kit's location.
See directions below for details on installing the kit.
Installing The PATHWORKS for DIGITAL UNIX 5.0G ECO2 Kit:
-------------------------------------------------------
Use the tar utility to unpack the kit, example:
> tar xvf PWUNIX_ECO250G.tar
- the following files are in the tar file.
PWK.image PWKBASE520 PWKLIC520 PWKNWBASE520
PWKRPL520 PWKCONFIG520 PWKNBU3520 PWKNWTRAN3520
PWKTCP3520 PWKDNA3520 PWKNW3SVOL520 PWKRNOTE520
instctrl
The PWK.image file contains the checksum numbers for each subset.
Change to the kit directory and use the setld utility to install the
kit:
> cd
> setld -l /kitdir
- The above setld command will display a list of valid subsets that
are in the current directory in menu format and prompts the user.
Below is an example:
The subsets listed below are optional:
There may be more optional subsets than can be presented on a single
screen. If this is the case, you can choose subsets screen by screen
or all at once on the last screen. All of the choices you make will
be collected for your confirmation before any subsets are installed.
