Defect Description:
	PHCO_23492:
	( SR:8606180821 CR:JAGad50042 )
	After configuring a new kernel (for example, during
	installation or later), some kernel components are left in a
	less than desirable state.

	Resolution:
	Modified kernsymtab to prevent some users from writing to
	certain directories.

	( SR:8606181772 CR:JAGad50988 )
	Some symbols are missing from the static kernel's symbol
	table created by kernsymtab.

	Resolution:
	Kernsymtab has been changed to include STB_WEAK in the
	symbol table it generates.
