Patch Name: PHNE_1222 Patch Description: NIS hosts.byname matching is now case-insensitive. Previously, all hostname matching was case sensitive, but this was not compatible with Sun. Case-sensitive matching occurs in all pre-9.0 releases.

Note: Please back up your system before you patch. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- After getting the patch onto your machine, unshar the patch (sh PHNE_1222). To install this patch do the following: 1) You must bring the system down to single-user state, so make sure that there are no users or jobs using the system. 2) Login as root and bring the system to single-user mode. Use /etc/shutdown 0 to do this. 3) Run the update program. 4) Once in the update "Main Menu" move the highlighted line to "Change Source or Destination ->" and press "Return" or "Select Item". 5) Make sure the highlighted item in the "Change Source or Destination" 6) You should now be in the "From Tape Device to Local System" window. Change the "Source: /dev/rmt/0m" to "Source: /tmp/PHNE_1222.updt" (this assumes that you are in the /tmp directory where PHNE_1222.updt has been placed). Note: You must enter the complete path name. 7) Press "Done". 8) From here on follow the standard directions for update. 9) Once update has finished, be sure to look at the end of the /tmp/update.log file for any errors with the update. 10) If all is okay, return to the multi-user state with the command: init 2 11) If this is a master server you will have to rebuild the NIS hosts map. To do this, execute /usr/etc/yp/ypmake. 12) If this is a client, then you are done. The customized script that update runs will move the original software to /system/PHNE_1222/orig. HP recommends keeping this software there in order to recover from any potential problems. It is also recommended that you move the PHNE_1222.text file to /system/PHNE_1222 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=PHNE_1222.updt of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2048
