software, including ECO2 and in earlier versions of the ASU software.

The release note document is organized as follows:

- New Registry, lanman.ini, and transports.ini Parameters

- ASU Command Changes

New Registry, lanman.ini, and transports.ini Parameters

-------------------------------------------------------

New Registry Parameter:

A new registry parameter, RequireStrongKey, specifies whether the

ASU server must use a strong (128 bit) session key for encryption

during secure channel operations.

Setting RequireStrongKey to 1, specifies that an ASU server must use

a strong (128 bit) session key. If the domain controller on the

other side of the channel does not support strong (128 bit) session

keys, then the ASU server will refuse to establish a secure channel.

The default value is 0.

This parameter is located under the following ASU registry key:

SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Netlogon/Parameters

Note: This registry parameter should be set to 1 only when all

the other domain controllers support strong keys. Windows 2000 and later

support strong keys.

-------------------

ASU Command Changes

-------------------

Change:

The "listcache" command has a new option, -C, to clear the

name cache statistics. Also, the "listcache -S" command will

now show the time when the statistics was cleared.

Change:

A new command called eautil is available to display and manipulate extended

attributes of objects that are used by OS/2 clients.

PRODUCT: -------UPDATED PRODUCT: ---------------RELEASE DATE: ---------------- Advanced Server for UNIX Advanced Server for UNIX Version 5.1B-5 November 2008 The Advanced Server for UNIX (ASU) Version ASU 5.1B-5 kit provides enhancements and corrections for problems found in the ASU Version 5.1B-4 software, including ECO2 and in earlier versions of the ASU software. The release note document is organized as follows: - New Registry, lanman.ini, and transports.
PAGE 2
The command may be used to: - Split the extended attributes to a hold file - Join the extended attributes from a hold file - Delete all the extended attributes This command is modeled after the OS/2 eautil command. See the eautil reference page for more information about the eautil command. Change: The "lmstat -P" command has been enhanced to display a count of the number of ASU transports each NetBIOS name has been posted on.
PAGE 3
knblink process logged an unusual event. The ASU server discarded short datagrams. This was a common issue which did not cause any known problems. Hence, the knblink process no longer logs an unusual event on receiving a short datagram. Change: The ASU server no longer lists the "permanent name" in the list of posted NetBIOS names that are displayed by the Windows "nbtstat -a" command, or the ASU "nbstatus" command.
PAGE 4
This problem has been corrected. Problem Addressed: If ASU was configured as a member server, and the user executed the "joindomain" command, with only the server name changed, then almost all the "net" commands failed with error 5 or error 1326, even though the server started successfully. For example: # net user Error 5 has occurred. Access is denied. # net view Error 1326 has occurred. Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. This problem has been corrected.
PAGE 5
This problem has been corrected. The asusetup command warns the user that the Server Manager utility or the promote command must be used to promote a BDC to a PDC of the same domain. asu9-97-vatne Problem Addressed: The "lmshell" utility's "net logon" command failed to use the specified domain name when only the user name and domain name were specified on the command line. This problem has been corrected.
PAGE 6
rmattr failed to display an error message when the Objectname was not specified. This problem has been corrected. Problem Addressed: Under rare circumstances, the "net session" command failed to list all valid sessions. This problem has been corrected.
PAGE 7
an ASU member server lost connectivity to any domain controller after 10 days. Event ID 5719 appeared in the system event log with the description: No domain controller is available for domain for the following reason: There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request. where was the name of the domain. This problem has been corrected.
PAGE 8
Error 5 has occurred. Access is denied. To correct this problem make the following changes on the Windows Server 2008: a. From the start menu, click "Run" and enter "regedit". b. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ LanmanServer\Parameters\NullSessionPipes and choose "Modify" from the pulldown menu. c. In the "Edit Multi-String" window, add the entry, "lsarpc" to the value data field and select OK.

Follow these steps to use the setld command to uninstall ASU, ASDU, or PATHWORKS subsets and install the ASU Version 5.1B-5 software: 1. Display the installed ASU, ASDU, or PATHWORKS subsets. Enter one of the following commands depending on the software installed: # /usr/sbin/setld -i | grep ASU | grep -v not # /usr/sbin/setld -i | grep ASDU | grep -v not # /usr/sbin/setld -i | grep PATHWORKS | grep -v not 2. Uninstall the ASU, ASDU, or PATHWORKS subsets.
