RELEASE NOTES
1. Patch SG0003803 Release Note
This release note describes patch SG0003803 to DCE/DFS on
IRIX 6.2.
Patch SG0003803 replaces patches SG0003497, SG0003498,
SG0002678, SG0002679, SG0002912, and SG0002913.
** REQUIREMENT ** If DFS is installed, the December 1997
recommended patch set or later is required to link the DFS
fixes contained in this patch. (Requirement on IRIX 6.2
only.)
1.1 Supported Hardware Platforms
This patch contains bug fixes for all SGI platforms which
are supported by the IRIX 6.2 operating system. The software
cannot be installed on other configurations.
1.2 Supported Software Platforms
This patch contains bug fixes for dce.sw and dfs.sw (DCE1.1C
September 8, 1997 release) on a system running IRIX 6.2.
The software cannot be installed on other configurations.
1.3 Bugs Fixed by Patch SG0003803
This patch contains fixes for the following bugs. Bug
numbers from Silicon Graphics bug tracking system are
included for reference.
o 651158 Possible Y2K problem with klist output.
o 656764 Path for dce_local_env defined incorrectly.
o 664725 cdsadv broken socket
o 664856 dce_config change request. Change the way
CACHE_DIR_DISK & CACHE_SIZE_DISK are defined. 681277
rpc__list_element_alloc failed and application abort
o 682467 DCE 1.1 application fails to build during
linking
1.4 Bugs Fixed by Patch SG0003497
o 488883 System panics with the panic string "dcache hc".
o 549120 Credential problem - error code 382312714,
"Attempting to use credentials belonging to another
user".
o 567820 System panic after a communication failure with
the FX server.
o 593288 Software detected SEGV on CPU running DCEdfsd.
o 609908 cdsadv aborts a couple of times a day
o 629087 Duplicate of PV 549120.
o 635145 The dced daemon aborts after receiving an
invalid rpc message.
o 638844 A heavily loaded system can not recover from a
Token State Recovery condition.
1.5 Bugs Fixed by Patch SG0002912
o 489383 To many interfaces in RPC_UNSUPPORTED_NETIFS
cause end ones to be ignored.
o 514434 Client programs hang when accessing DFS
filesystems. The DFS client believes the server is in
token recovery when it is not.
o 517621 The cma_stdio.h header file needs to include
sys/types.h.
o 530971 Error in config script. When configuring a cds
server, dce_config states in the message that 4.0 is
the default, but when it actually asks for an entry it
defaults to 3.0.
o 539036 The dce_config remembers old cell_admin pw while
reconfiguring into a new cell.
o 540488 The dced aborts with a SEGV error.
o 542125 MKDIR over DFS generates an incorrect error
message if the directory already exists.
o 544349 The klist command as hosts/self is very slow
after the machine has been up for a while. Also there
are a lot of expired tickets seen in the machine
credentials file which can grow very large. (Duplicate
of PV 552237.)
o 544770 DFS implementation honors the UNIX umask setting
over the DFS IC (initial container) acl umask setting
for the "group" container acl.
o 552237 The dfsbind and dtsd daemons use a large
percentage of the CPU. The problem is due to the
expired machine credentials and the resources needed to
search this large file.
o 559637 Excessive writes and reads to CDS cache
o 565540 dcecp can not handle a sigvtalarm in some cases.
o 568616 Having dce activated, chkconfig dce on, with no
cell information hangs boot process.
o 573486 DCE'ized ftpd needs to be updated to pick up
ftpd changes.
o 612545 sec_create_db core dumps if the data already
exists
o 540087 RFE: Modify dce_config to run on only 1 cpu
reducing race conditions.
o 569236 RFE: Request for a local dce environment file
that survives upgrades
(/opt/dcelocal/etc/dce_local_env). Local changes which
have been made to dce_com_env (ie.
RPC_UNSUPPORTED_NETIFS) should be moved to this file.
o 575769 RFE: Request that the dcedfs include files be
distributed.
o 603787 RFE: Configuration script changes:
- Add comman line configuration options
(dce_config(8)).
- Clean up some problems doing reconfigurations.
- Make the DFS server configuration easier.
See dfsmkfs(8) and dfsrmfs(8) man pages
distributed with this patch.
1.6 Bugs Fixed by Patch SG0002678
o 522047 Accessing a DFS exported filesysstem on an IRIX
6.2, 64 bit system DFS server causes the system to
panic.
o 522377 Removing a file from a DFS exported filesystem
on an IRIX 6.2, 64 bit DFS server panics the system.
o 525030 The /opt/dcelocal/share/include/pthread.h is not
pointed to by the symbolic link created in
/usr/include/dce/pthread.h after installation of the
DCE 1.1C package from dist.engr.
o 525749 Data corruption when accessing DFS files.
o 527850 Critical security (CERT) problem with secd,
which could allow for a denial of service attack.
o 527916 The cds and security servers are not instable
with domestic package.
o 528319 The DCE 1.1C distribution distributes scheme as
part of it's integrated login feature. SGI's Security
Advisory 19970508-02-PX describes a problem with
login/scheme. The patches to fix this problem need to
be integrated into the version of scheme distributed
with DCE.
o 537753 The xlock program with DCE integrated login
functionality will not accept any further key strokes
if someone types RETURN instead of a valid password.
o 538257 The dcestat command does not display all running
dce/dfs daemons.
o 539860 Problems in the DCE/DFS unconfigure scripts.
o 540108 Data corruption on Onyx2 and O2 to AIX DFS
server
o 547311 6.2 DFS 1.1C does not link when kernel rollup
patch2401 or later is installed. Customers will ge the
following error when linking the kernel.
ld: ERROR 33: Undefined data symbol "polllock"
--
1st referenced by krpch.a (comsoc_sys.o).
o 551782 DFS panics if AFS is running on the same system.

1.8 Installation Instructions
Because you want to install only the patches for problems
you have encountered, patch software is not installed by
default. After reading the descriptions of the bugs fixed
in this patch (see Section 1.3), determine the patches that
meet your specific needs.
If, after reading Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of these release
notes, you are unsure whether your hardware and software
meet the requirements for installing a particular patch, run
inst. The inst program does not allow you to install
patches that are incompatible with your hardware or
software.
Patch software is installed like any other Silicon Graphics
software product. Follow the instructions in your Software
Installation Administrator's Guide to bring up the miniroot
form of the software installation tools.
Follow these steps to select a patch for installation:
1. At the Inst> prompt, type
install patchSGxxxxxxx
where xxxxxxx is the patch number.
2. Initiate the installation sequence. Type
Inst> go
3. You may find that two patches have been marked as
incompatible. (The installation tools reject an
installation request if an incompatibility is
detected.) If this occurs, you must deselect one of
the patches.
Inst> keep patchSGxxxxxxx
where xxxxxxx is the patch number.
4. After completing the installation process, exit the
inst program by typing
Inst> quit
1.9 Patch Removal Instructions
To remove a patch, use the versions remove command as you
would for any other software subsystem. The removal process
reinstates the original version of software unless you have
specifically removed the patch history from your system.
versions remove patchSGxxxxxxx
where xxxxxxx is the patch number.
To keep a patch but increase your disk space, use the
versions removehist command to remove the patch history.
versions removehist patchSGxxxxxxx
where xxxxxxx is the patch number.
1.10 Known Problems
o 543509 Accessing a SGI DFS directory with a large
number of files may return incomplete output with the
SGI dfs client. Modifications were made to the SGI DFS
client in this patch to detect a condition which
previously caused the SGI DFS client to hang and
prevented the hang. When these potential hang
conditions are detected the DFS client will send the
following message to the system console:
warning: cm_readdir, stopped reading dir, server
offsets looping.
The user's command (ls/find/etc.) may not contain all
the information from the directory or may not complete
successfully. The threshold for the number of files
it takes to trigger this problem varies depending on
the size of the file names.
This partial fix to the problem prevents the DFS client
from hanging so that it no longer requires a reboot.
Sites should also consult the "Known problems" section of
the DCE/DFS 1.1C Release Notes.
1.11 Miscellaneous
o SGI DCE/DFS mailing list.
SGI has a DCE/DFS mailing to provide information on new
releases, patches, critical problems, and other related
announcements. This mailing list is not in place of
other SGI communication methods, but rather an
additional way to get this information to interested
people.
If you would like to subscribe this mailing list send
mail to:
external-majordomo@postofc.corp.sgi.com
with the following line in the _body_ of the message:

INST SUBSYSTEM REQUIREMENTS No Requirements Information Available. INST SUBSYSTEM CHECKSUMS These checksums help to provide a 'signature' for the patch inst image which can be used to authenticate other inst images. You can obtain this kind of output by running sum -r on the image (from the command line): 65485 26 patchSG0003803.DCE_man 53890 6547 patchSG0003803.DCE_sw64 41478 6044 patchSG0003803.DCE_sw32 23532 46 patchSG0003803.idb 32846 9 patchSG0003803.DFS_man 56518 23 patch/README.patch.3803 18619 15950 patchSG0003803.DCE_sw 35812 18 patchSG0003803 46730 31023 patchSG0003803.DFS_sw INST SUBSYSTEM FILE LISTINGS The following lists the files which get installed from each subsystem in the patch:
