Patch Name:  PHCO_4841

Patch Description: s700 8.07 cumulative libc patch

        PHCO_4841:
        Fixed a permissions problem in authunix_create(3N).

        PHCO_2277:
        The following problems in the getcwd(3C) function
        have been corrected:
        (1) Allow the valid return of the current working directory
            when said directory has a search- only protection code
            (mode 111).
        (2) Improve cacheing of current working directory
            when multiple getcwd(3C) calls are made.
        (3) Correct potential data corruption problem:
            getcwd(3C) was ignoring the length parameter
            being passed to it.

        PHCO_2134:
        regexec(3C) does not properly detect patterns when input
        contains 16-bit charactesr and the REG_ICASE flag is set.

        PHCO_1558:
        getpwnam(3C) will generate a SIGBUS error and core dump when
        passed the name of an entry that is in the NIS excluded name
        list, e.g. an entry like "-name:*:0:0:::" in the /etc/passwd
        file.

        PHCO_1294:
        getgrent(3C) may coredump when multiple passes are made through
        the group file when using YP/NIS.  The dump will occur from
        within a free(3C) called by getgrent(3C).

        PHCO_1013:
        Eliminated internal uses of strtok(3C) which affects user's
        string pointer.

        PHCO_0981:
        fchdir(2) causes panic on diskless cluster.

        PHCO_0760:
        getcwd(3C) returns ENOMEM error even when it is passed a
        buffer and length.

        PHCO_0714:
        getcwd(3C) uses fchdir(2) instead of vfork(2).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After getting the patch onto your machine, unshar the patch (sh PHCO_4841).

To install this patch do the following:
1) Run /etc/update (Note: you must be logged in as root to update
   a system).
2) Once in the update "Main Menu" move the highlighted line to "Change
   Source or Destination ->" and press "Return" or "Select Item".
3) Make sure the highlighted item in the "Change Source or Destination"
   window is "From Tape Device to Local System ...", then press "Return" or
   "Select Item".
4) You should now be in the "From Tape Device to Local System" window.
   Change the "Source:  /dev/rmt/0m" to "Source: /tmp/PHCO_4841.updt"
   (this assumes that you are in the /tmp directory where PHCO_4841.updt
   has been placed).  Note: You must enter the complete path name.
5) Press "Done".
6) From here on follow the standard directions for update.

The customized script that update runs will move the original software
to /system/PHCO_4841/orig.  HP recommends keeping this software there in
order to recover from any potential problems.  It is also recommended that
you move the PHCO_4841.text file to /system/PHCO_4841 to be retained for
future reference.

If you wish to put this patch on a magnetic tape and update from the tape
drive, dd a copy of the patch to the tape drive.  As an example the
following will create a copy of the patch that update can read:

        dd if=PHCO_4841.updt of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2048
