HP Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Server Version 5.1.B-4 Patch Summary and Release Notes (13156)

• Corrects a potential security vulnerability where, under certain circumstances, system
integrity may be compromised. This may be in the form of passwords that have a length
outside of the intended range.
• Updates the account management tools to use the latest versions of the ASU (Advanced
Server for UNIX) API calls when ASU is in use on the server.
• Provides support for SmartArray disk controllers. Without this fix, if the SmartArray product
is installed on the system the SysMan Station hardware view will fail to operate.
• Modifies the useradd command to correctly manage default and template data properly.
The problem showed up most notably with the useradd -p command would producing the
message "Password must be between 32 and 80 characters."
• Corrects a problem in some cluster configurations that causes the SysMan Station to fail to
generate the hardware view and a Java stack trace is generated indicating that the routine
"HardwareLayout.fancyPlace" was being executed at the time of the trace.
• Provides enhancements for file system suitlets.
• Corrects a problem in which the SysMan Station display is not updated when a component
(for example CPU) registration and deregistration events occurs.
• Corrects a problem in which if the Reload/Refresh button is pressed during the running of
any of the SysMan tools in a browser, the tool hangs, thereby requiring the user to restart
the browser to continue with the tool.
• Corrects a condition in which the daemons used by Insight Manager fail and do not restart
when restarting the network using the SysMan Menu.
• Corrects a problem in which when SysMan is used to change the configuration of a network
adapter card, it would also reconfigure other cards, thereby causing a cluster connectivity
interruption
• Prevents users from attempting to configure a network adapter card that is part of a NetRAIN
set.
• Updates the SysMan Menu layout in online help.
• Fixes a problem that occurs when dealing with white spaces in a "Filter by Comment" search
of the SysMan Account Management application.
• Corrects a problem that occurs when DHCP is selected for a network interface card, the
netconfig command places invalid data in the /etc/hosts file.
• Fixes a problem encountered when bttape TCL scripts are executed by nonprivileged users.
• Adds $quote directive to the message catalog.
• Corrects a confusing error message seen when ASU is installed and a user runs useradd on
a non-PDC server.
• Fixes potential issues with system security during the creation of temporary files.
• Corrects a problem in which the SUIT multicolumn list incorrectly handles the programatic
sizing of the columns, thereby causing data to be truncated.
• Corrects a problem in which SysMan Station fails when the HOME environment variable
is not set or points to a nonexistent directory.
• Corrects a problem in which the SysMan Station does not allow the relocation of CAA
resources in the CAA view by dragging and dropping resource objects.
• Corrects a condition that causes the useradd command to create the same UIDvalue for a
new user when the /etc/passwd file contains the expression ?#?.
• Corrects a problem on systems with multipath SCSI devices in which the SysMan Station
Hardware View incorrectly displays the hardware components and their relationships.
• Fixes a problem with the display of the appropriate title label in the Manage Local Users
and Manage NIS Users SysMan applications in a Java domain.
• Fixes a problem with the dialogue box that appears when remote printing and Advanced
Server printer types are selected during the Add Printer configuration.
