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

Patch 27062.00
OSFNFS540
• Adds a name and IP address cache to NFS mountd to limit problems seen with
DNS timeouts.
• Corrects a problem with pcnfsd that occurs when it is running in a cluster and
sends the member's IP address instead of the cluster alias.
• Fixes the warning message in the daemon.log file when automount starts.
• Provides an option that allows users to specify port number for mountd.
• Fixes rpc.lockd to send UNIX authentication.
• Corrects a problem in which autofs skips exported file systems that belong to
netgroups in the remote NIS domain, while a mount command for the same
exported file system works.
• Fixes problems due to mountd not blocking SIGHUP when processing NFS
exported file systems.
• Fixes multiple defects in AutoFS user space and kernel code.
• Enables mountd to correctly handle entries with multiple lines of input in an
exports file.
• Makes start-up scripts in /sbin/init.d world readable.
• Fixes an issue with the rpc.lockd daemon's message passing-style RPCs, where
replies are sent to the IP address of the lock's caller_name field instead of to the
call message's source.
• Modifies the mountd daemon to correct a core dump problem.
• Restore exports file (-root=hostlist) behavior.
• 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.
• Enables AutoFS to handle loopback mounts correctly, specifically regarding failed
attempts to use AutoFS to access a loopback mount via a cluster alias.
• Fixes the behavior of the rpc.rquotad daemon in a cluster.
• Addresses a mountd problem in which spurious signals can cause mountd to
dump core and a second problem that causes .INCLUDE parsing to function
incorrectly.
• Enables AutoFS mount-on paths to have the correct maximum length when AutoFs
files are mapped directly.
• Fixes an rpc.lockd problem involving lock contention, in which lock requests
accumulate on a linked list that is searched with each kernel lock manager poll
and result in excessive CPU consumption
• Fixes an issue in which an error was being reported with an empty direct map.
• Fixes a problem where rpc.statd does not correctly create the sm and sm.bak
directories on startup, causing rpc.statd to exit.
