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

• Corrects several potential security vulnerabilities where, under certain
circumstances, system integrity may be compromised. These may be in the form
of improper file access.
• Corrects the cause of a core dump that occurs when the usermod command is used
with the -x pc_synchronize option.
• Corrects a problem that causes the userdel command to core dump when the shell
field is empty in the passwd file.
• Corrects a problem that causes the usermod command to not work as expected
with NIS +/- users.
• Fixes minor problems with the account management tools.
• 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.
