ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DECdns V2.1 on OpenVMS VAX V6.0 through V7.0.
This kit addresses the following problems:

Problems Addressed in DECDNSECO02070:

  The DECdns server has several fixes and improvements:

  o  Fixes for a hang using the command:

     Show dns server clearinghouse X replicas

  o  Fixes for problems with CTL$GL_DNSPTR

     There were several fixes for problems in the clerk trying to
     reference its global data structure pointer (CTL$GL_DNSPTR)
     before it was properly initialized.

  o  Improvements to reduce resource utilization

     Fixed a problem causing deadlocks between the port and request
     threads.  Also fixed a problem that caused the request threads
     to go into a dormancy loop, preventing the freeing of resources
     when no longer needed.   Reduced the time that the request
     thread is in the dormant state from 10 minutes to one minute as
     a default.

  o  Eliminate some "no resource" errors on skulk commands

     Fixed a problem with the server providing the replica pointer
     on a skulk to the clerk that was incorrectly reported to the
     DNS$CONTROL program as "no resources available".

  o  New configuration options

     The option to change the dormancy_evaluation interval has been
     added so that the system manager can modify the time that the
     request is in the dormant state.  After the system manager has
     created the SYS$SYSDEVICE:[DNS$SERVER]DNS.CONF file, the
     following parameter may be added.

       dnsd.dormancy_evaluation_interval: 30

     The dormancy_evaluation_interval is specified in seconds.  It
     represents the time that the resources used by a request remain
     in pool awaiting the possibility of being reused.  The default
     value is set to 60 seconds if a value is not specified in the
     DNS.CONF file.  Decreasing the value from the default may allow
     resources to be released earlier however, if it is decreased
     too much it will result in a delay in starting the processing
     of a new request.  Consequently, if it is changed it should be
     done very carefully.

  o  Correction to BADCLOCK fixer option

     Corrected problem with option used to correct BADCLOCK error
     (caused by running server on  system  with incorrect system
     time).  If the server is run on a system with time set in the
     future, it can cause incorrect timestamps to be stored in the
     clearinghouse.  The utility used to correct the timestamps was
     found to have a problem, which is corrected with this fix.

  o  Changes to incoming connection timeouts

     Change made to mechanism used to timeout incoming connections
     to the server.  Correction to suspected race condition in
     mechanism.

  o  Improvements to server threads mechanism

     Improve diagnostics in the threads package.

  o  Connection quotas

     Server now limits number of concurrent incoming connections
     accepted at any one time.  Previously, server would accept
     virtually as many connections as other factors would allow.

     Ability for system manager to specify or override connection quotas
     is also available now.  To override default connection quotas, system
     manager can create the file SYS$SYSDEVICE:[DNS$SERVER]DNS.CONF.  In 
     this file, insert lines similar to the following:

       dnsd.ta_conn_quota: 200
       dnsd.back_conn_quota: 15

     dnsd.ta_conn_quota (which defaults to 100) specifies  the
     maximum number of incoming clerk requests for normal DECdns
     lookups.

     dnsd.back_conn_quota (which defaults to 10) specifies the
     maximum number of incoming clerk requests for the background
     tasks of skulking, etc.

     Note that the sum of these two quotas should be below the values
     for NCL characteristics for either OSI TRANSPORT MAXIMUM TRANSPORT
     CONNECTIONS, or NSP MAXIMUM TRANSPORT CONNECTIONS.  Digital recommends 
     that the max transport connections characteristics be set so that the  
     system never reaches the maximum number of connections specified.   
     Increase max transport connections characteristics for NSP and OSI if
     required to meet this requirement.

  o  Optional system BUGCHECK

     Option is available to force a system (VMS) crash following a
     server process bugcheck.  This feature has been added to assist
     in diagnosis of certain DECnet related problems.

  o  Eliminate certain bugchecks

     It has been determined that certain error paths in the server
     did not need the server process to bugcheck.  Instead, the
     server will log the abnormality to the DNS$SERVER.LOG, and
     continue normal operation.

  o  Remove dying replicas from clearinghouse

     Add a more convenient method to eliminate replicas which have
     gotten stuck in the dying state.  Usually replicas end up in
     this state from improper use of the SET DIR TO NEW EPOCH
     command.

     To 'prune' these replicas, the system manager should shut down
     the server, and then create (or modify) the 
     SYS$SYSDEVICE:[DNS$SERVER]DNS.CONF file.  In this file, they
     should place a line similar to the following:

       dnsd.db_version_to_prune: 999

     Instead of 999, the system manager would specify the current
     checkpoint number of the clearinghouse they wish to 'prune'.
     This can be determined by typing out the clearinghouse  version
     file (the file which has a file extension of ".VERSION".)

     The system manager would then start the server up, and then
     shut it down again.  The server should write out a new
     checkpoint file with the dying replicas eliminated.  The above
     line can then be removed from the DNS.CONF file, and the server
     restarted normally.  Only one prune operation is permitted per
     server session.

     In order to display the results of a prune operation in the
     DNS$SERVER.LOG the sys$sysdevice:[dns$server]dnsd.events file
     should have the "db_checkpoint_info" event turned on.

  o  Improvements to the DNS DIAG utility

     The dns$diag utility has had several features added, as well as
     several improvements to the help and operation.

     Through the diag utility, it is now possible to flush the
     DNS$SERVER.LOG immediately to disk via the "flush log" command.
     Help has been added to further explain the BADCLOCK repair
     operation.  The diag tool will no longer exit with a spurious
     error when the user presses CTRL/Z.

     The dns$diag utility has been modified to display  more
     information when displaying the request block.  The number of
     times that the request block enters the "dormant" and
     "dormant_avail" state is now displayed.  The "dormant_avail" is
     the only state that the request block and request thread can
     become a candidate for freeing up the resources that they are
     using.

  o  New configuration options

     In addition to the ta_conn_quota, back_conn_quota, and
     db_version_to_prune configuration options described above, there
     are now also two other options available.  After the system manager
     has created the SYS$SYSDEVICE:[DNS$SERVER]DNS.CONF file, they may 
     add either of the following options:

       dnsd.acs_override: 1
       dnsd.node_verification: 0

     acs_override controls whether the server does a full access control
     check for incoming requests.  The default setting is 0 (do not 
     override access control checking.)  If the system manager wishes to 
     override all access control checking on the system, they may set this 
     item to 1.  Note that while access control checking is overridden, 
     *any* privileged or non-privileged user on your network will have 
     complete read, write, delete, and control privileges to any object, 
     directory, or clearinghouse managed on this server.

     node_verification controls whether the server does full node
     verification and authentication of update transactions to the
     server.  The default setting is 1, to do node verification.  If
     this option is set to 0, the server will not backtranslate the
     incoming address to verify  that  the  incoming connection is
     actually coming from the where the incoming connection claimed
     it was coming from.  With this disabled, servers are vulnerable
     to intentional or unintentional 'node spoofing' where systems
     make updates to the namespace for which their node name is
     authorized to do, but which their address is not authorized to
     do.

  o  Non-default changes to the configuration are logged

     During startup, the server reads in the 
     SYS$SYSDEVICE:[DNS$SERVER]DNS.CONF file to determine if any of
     the default setting have been overriden.  A mechanism has been
     added to the server to write out to the DNS$SERVER.LOG any
     defaults which have been overriden.

     This feature can help the system manager to verify that any
     changes made to conf file were recognized correctly by the
     server on startup.  The log also acts as record of the current
     options in effect for the server.

  o  Additional connection tracing

     Additional tracing is now available to print out node and
     username of problem connections to the server.


Problems Addressed in DECDNSECO02065:

  The most serious problems this kit fixes are with the DECdns Clerk.
  This kit also includes corrections and improvements to the DECdns
  server software.  If your system has the DECdns server already
  installed, this ECO kit will update the appropriate images.

  o  Systems with SYS$NAME_SERVICES.EXE ECO 56 and later have a
     problem which could result in a system crash.  For versions prior
     to ECO 56, this problem could result in a memory leak.

     The system crash typically occurs when a person using DNS$CONTROL,
     or NCL, presses control/Y in the middle of the an outstanding
     clerk request.  A crash like this could happen from abnormal
     termination of any application which uses the DECdns system
     service.  Therefore this problem was not limited to NCL or
     DNS$CONTROL, and might also result from a STOP process command.

     For pre-ECO 56 systems, severe leakage of non-paged pool
     would occur on systems which regularly spawned NCL commands.
     This kind of activity is common on systems doing regularly
     scheduled network monitoring operations.  The memory leak would
     happen when a user logged out, or a process terminated (completed)
     after directly or indirectly using the DECdns system service.
     Typically this use would be via NCL or DNS$CONTROL, but all
     applications using the DECdns system service will experience this
     problem.

  o  This kit will also fix a problem with the DECdns advertiser program
     (DNS$ADVER) which could result in DECnet hanging on system startup.
     This could happen on systems with larger amounts of memory (128 Meg
     and greater).  Typically, the problem would occur when the system
     had a change in the configuration, either through more memory being
     installed, a SYSGEN parameter being changed, or more products being
     installed.

  o  The DECdns server has several fixes and improvements:

    +  Timeout lost incoming connections

       Add code to timeout incoming connections to server which do not
       complete connection acknowledgment in 20 seconds.  Previously,
       incoming clerk requests which did not complete this initial
       portion of the connect initiate would block the server from
       accepting any new connections until the DECnet session layer
       timed out (usually 2 or 3 minutes.)

    +  Timestamp DNS$SERVER.LOG

       Add timestamp to DNS$SERVER.LOG file.  Useful for debugging,
       and tracking exact time of other DECdns server anomalies.

    +  Increase size of nested groups

       Increase the maximum number of members that nested access control
       groups can contain from approximately 100 to approximately 300.

    +  Improve bugcheck diagnostics

       Improve diagnostic information written to log file during server
       bugcheck.

    +  Correct race condition

       Correct problem with race condition in connect initiate watchdog
       timer.

    +  Fix memory leak

       Correction memory leak in watchdog timer code.

    +  Improve reliability

       Correction to allow server to ignore error status returned from
       DECnet during normal operation, instead of crashing.

    +  Allow more connections

       Raise internal limitation of server to allow more threads to be
       concurrently active  on a server.  This will allow a server to
       have a greater number of outstanding connections at a time.

    +  Improve server startup

       Change server to reject incoming DECnet connections until the
       clearinghouse database is completely read into memory, and the
       DNS$Server process is ready to respond to the requests.  It is
       hoped that this will allow a server to come up more quickly
       under heavy network load.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

In order for the new SYS$NAME_SERVICES image to be loaded, the system
