Symptoms:
	PHCO_29674:
	SR:8606187344 DTS:JAGad56551
	  When auto_parms is run on systems with many disks
	"Input line _hp_hide_other_disks cannot be longer
	than 3,000 bytes" error messsages may be generated.

	PHCO_22957:
	SR:8606172165 DTS:JAGad41427
	  Unable to change ip-address using set_parms.
	SR:8606187199 DTS:JAGad56407
	  When using "set_parms timezone" the name of the timezone
	for Middle European daylight saving time does not match the
	standard, expected name in /usr/lib/tztab.

	PHCO_21993:
	1. In some cases, a non-privileged local user could prevent
	   an HP-UX machine from booting properly.
	2. A user could obtain unauthorized privileges.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_29674:
	SR:8606187344 DTS:JAGad56551
	The H/W Path of each device is hidden from install
	is saved in _hp_hide_other_disks. This list may be
	longer than the 3,000 byte awk string editing buffer.

	PHCO_22957:
	SR:8606172165 DTS:JAGad41427
	When "set_parms ip_address" command is issued, the
	GUI window pops up asking for the new IP address.
	When the new IP address is entered, the command
	hangs and finally times out.
	SR:8606187199 DTS:JAGad56407
	When using "set_parms timezone" it is not possible
	tocset the "Middle European daylight saving time"
	option. This will cause the time change to happen
	on the wrong date in the Spring, since it will
	default to the US pattern. Other than the time
	change, the timezone string works fine and gives
	the right clock offset.

	PHCO_21993:
	Insecure operations in shell code.

Enhancement:
	No
