HP Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Server Version 5.1B-5 Patch Summary and Release Notes (March 2009)

• Improves space utilization in small MFS file systems by decreasing metadata
overhead.
• Fixes a problem with the mkcdsl command in which the -a option misbehaves
when used on a context-dependent symbolic link (CDSL).
• Fixes RPC timeout error messages in the ypwhich -m command.
• Corrects a problem in which SysMan and SysMan Station are not functional after
installing Java 1.3.1-4 or higher.
• Prevents addvol from adding invalid disks into a domain.
• Reduces cluster files system I/O in Enhanced Security.
• Corrects a security issue in which rsh and other rcmds incorrectly report ESUCCESS
when the remote side of a connection terminates before fully establishing a
connection.
• Updates sysconfig to use the cluster interconnect, thereby allowing for a greater
SSI collaboration. This fix will help with changing variables on hung systems,
single user systems, and normal running systems.
• Improves cryptic warning message during a mount of a dirty file system. The new
message includes a suggestion to run the fsck command for a dirty UFS.
• Adds support in cleanPR for HSG60/HSV100/MSA/HP-XP enclosures.
• Corrects a panic while creating or extending a large UFS file system.
• Fixes cron job scheduling for Daylight Savings time events.
• Corrects a potential security vulnerability where, under certain circumstances,
system integrity may be compromised. This may be in the form of improper file
or privilege management.
• Enables the -undo_switch option for the versw command, which is required to
delete patches that contain version switches.
• Corrects a problem in which cp and cat produce different file sizes when reading
from a tape device.
• Adds SCSI reserve and release support to the mt program to assist open SAN tape
management.
• Updates the environmental monitoring daemon, envmond, to ensure the correct
EVM events are being sent at the correct time.
• Allows the auditing of login and su events based in part on the contents of user
profiles (for Enhanced Security), the prevailing auditing characteristics of the
originating process, and the system-wide audit mask. Previously, only the system
audit mask was referenced.
• Fixes many small problems with the dsfmgr command.
• Corrects several potential security vulnerabilities where, under certain
circumstances, system integrity may be compromised. These may be in the form
of improper file access.
• Adds an event to indicate that the soft or hard error count has changed on the
device identified in the event.
