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

• Fixes bad error handling that occurs when trying to install setld via the command
line options setld -l <path <subset.
• Corrects a memory leak problem in the ksh shell.
• Corrects bind changes to rc.config changing NIS settings.
• Fixes a problem that results in a hang or crash during the auditing of the
net_tcp_stray_packet, net_udp_stray_packet, and net_tcp_rejected_conn network
events .
• Fixes and audit object deselection model in which events that modify a target
object could be deselected, resulting in no audit record being generated.
• Improves the performance of times(3).
• Corrects incorrect behavior of the df command for automount mount points.
• Corrects a memory leak problem in the ksh shell.
• Enhances the fuser command to provide a cluster-wide query capability. A revised
fuser(8) reference page describes this enhancement.
• Fixes a problem with glob() returning an incorrect match when directory permission
issues exist.
• Corrects a condition that occurs when a change in system time by the ntp daemon
causes a cron job to be executed with a discrepancy equal to the amount of drift
in time.
• Corrects the behavior of the tail -f command with respect to FIFO special files.
• Corrects a problem with ksh shell pattern matching.
• Fixes problem that occurs when multiple instances of the sort utility use the same
directory path.
• Resolves several DECThreads faults and resolves performance issues with certain
Java applications.
• fixes memory leak problem in cron.
• Raises the highest ID handled by edquota and repquota and converts the repquota
program to using the GETQUOTA/GETQUOTA64 quotactl's for obtaining data,
instead of directly reading from the quota file. This results in more recent data
and, in a cluster, consistent data across all nodes. It also enables handling the
highest UIDs (up to 4294967294).
• Fixes an awk() argument buffer limitation that can cause patch installations to fail
if a large number of subsets (in excess of 500) are loaded on the system.
• Fixes sh to handle a large number of open files.
