Patch Name:  PHNE_3423

Patch Description: s700 8.07 fix for multiple rpc.statd problems

      This patch fixes multiple rpc.statd problems which result in
      file/record locks hanging over NFS (including ksh and mailx)

      /etc/sm file gets corrupted which causes rpc.statd to exit
      or core dump

      rpc.statd core dump caused by using free() instead of xfree()

      rpc.statd loses data in monitor queue resulting in inadequate
      recovery

      rpc.statd loops trying to reach remote statd if can
      reach remote portmapper but not remote statd.
      (i.e. HP Domain system, which by default runs portmapper but not statd)

      Duplicate entries in /etc/sm/* files by rpc.statd causes
      lock delay.

Patch needs to be on lock server AND client systems

Since rpc.statd is dependent upon rpc.lockd, both processes should be
killed prior to installing this patch.  Use kill <pid>, where <pid>
is the process id of the running rpc.statd and rpc.lockd.  rpc.statd and
rpc.lockd will need to be restarted manually after the patch installation
is complete.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After getting the patch onto your machine, unshar the patch (sh PHNE_3423).

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_3423.updt"
   (this assumes that you are in the /tmp directory where PHNE_3423.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_3423/orig.  HP recommends keeping this software there in
order to recover from any potential problems.  It is also recommended that
you move the PHNE_3423.text file to /system/PHNE_3423 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_3423.updt of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2048
