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

• Corrects a problem that occurs when using C1crypt for password encryption on
Enhanced Security systems in which users are unable to change their passwords
and see the passwd command warning "Password not changed: failed to write
protected password entry."
• Corrects the output of the vmstat command with per-RAD kernel usage data.
• Fixes problems such as segmentation faults when strxfrm() function runs on the
French locales.
• Fixes setld failures that generate the message "Kerberos credentials not found."
• Improves null partition checking code.
• Fixes a librt memory leak that may occur when multiple message queue files are
opened and then closed (the memory would be recovered when the process
terminates).
• Changes the use of the configuration file /etc/svc.conf to /etc/nsswitch.conf to allow
netgroup data to be provided from LDAP, rather than only from NIS.
• Corrects a potential security vulnerability that can result in a local Denial of Service
(DoS).
• Addresses the rarely seen class scheduler error “class_daemon: class_open:
Database created with default configuration Bad file number.”
• Fixes the pattern substitution problem in ksh with respect to the patterns
${parameter#pattern} and ${parameter%pattern}.
• Adds per-binary big page controls to complement the system-wide tunable
attributes.
• Updates the audit_tool usage message.
• Fixes a performance problem in the libc mktime() routine.
• Fixes a condition that causes segmentation faults when the nm -a command is
used to dump symbol information in object files compiled by the C++ compiler.
• Fixes the dircmp to display both output columns.
• Fixes a condition that causes cfgmgr to continue running after the remote is gone.
• Adds a -R switch to MFS to allocate memory on one RAD. The default MFS behavior
is to stripe memory across all RADs that have memory; the -R switch may improve
MFS performance in many cases.
• Fixes a problem that prevents access to AutoFS file systems if ACLs are enabled.
• Makes the cchwtest tool for Common Criteria security evaluation.
• Fixes the compress command to exit with new status, 3, on an I/O error, as described
in the compress reference page.
• Corrects a problem in which sendmail will not start on some configurations where
the sendmail support files are symbolically linked to another location in the support
environment.
• Fixes “at” jobs that fail to execute when LANG and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are set.
• Modifies the dc command to take care of scale while printing numbers in base 2.
