Patch Name: PHNE_2544 Patch Description: Correct problems with s700 8.0x network tracing/logging 1) ARPA/X.25 logging causes memory loss. Most often seen with X.25 informative logging. ns_log_event() only frees the first m_buf in a chain. SR 5003-098194 2) Buffer loss when a subsystem calls ktrc_write or klogg_write when nettl has been stopped. 4701-193987 3) X.25 traceoff does not wait for the X.25 card to flush before refusing messages. DTS INDaa12776 4) IP fragments are not accepted by RPC/NFS formatting. Treat all IP fragments the same and dump them in hex (the first used to be partially formatted). DTS INDaa13751 5) When formatting a NS_LS_DRIVER or NS_LS_LOOPBACK trace, netfmt will core dump immediately after decoding an NFS READDIR packet. DTS INDaa10249 6) A log file containing X25IP log messages can be formatted incorrectly. In some cases the data in the fields seem to relate to adjacent fields. In other cases the data for a particular field is completely incorrect. DTS INDaa11875 7) Traces from the NS_LS_LOOPBACK subsystem are not decoded properly. Netfmt could hang in an inifinite loop if terse formatting is used. DTS INDaa10179 8) The "path" portion of an unsolicited probe reply packet from the NS_LS_DRIVER subsystem contains invalid data.

Note: Please back up your system before you patch. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- After getting the patch onto your machine, unshar the patch (sh PHNE_2544). 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/PHNE_2544.updt" (this assumes that you are in the /tmp directory where PHNE_2544.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/PHNE_2544/orig. HP recommends keeping this software there in order to recover from any potential problems. It is also recommended that you move the PHNE_2544.text file to /system/PHNE_2544 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_2544.updt of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2048
