Symptoms:
	PHSS_26978:
	The TC-SysSetup product in the June 2002 HPUX 11.11 Minimum
	Technical OE (MTOE) and the HPUX 11.11 Technical Computing
	OE (TCOE) delivers an nsswitch file
	/etc/nsswitch.TC-SysSetup and copies it into
	/etc/nsswitch.conf.  The nsswitch.conf file may cause:

	(1) sendmail(1M) to be unable to send or receive mail on the
		system; or
	(2) gethostbyname(3N) to fail with an unexpected error code
		when failing to find a host name.

	Sendmail Problem

	Your system will be affected by the sendmail(1M) problem if
	the system is not an NIS client. The nsswitch file contains
	the following rule for alias resolution:

	aliases:      files [NOTFOUND=continue] nis

	When the system is not an NIS client, mail cannot be
	successfully sent or received.  For example, sending mail to
	root fails as follows:

	# mailx root
	Subject: test
	.
	EOT
	Null message body; hope that's ok
	# NIS map mail.aliases specified, but NIS not running

	
	Gethostbyname Problem

	Your system will be affect by the gethostbyname(3N) problem
	if
	(1) it searches for a host name that does not exist; and
	(2) /etc/resolv.conf is either missing or empty.

	The nsswitch file contains the following rule for host name
	resolution:

	hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue] nis [NOTFOUND=continue] dns

Defect Description:
	PHSS_26978:
	The TC-SysSetup product in the June 2002 HPUX 11.11 Minimum
	Technical OE (MTOE) and the HPUX 11.11 Technical Computing
	OE (TCOE) delivers an nsswitch file
	/etc/nsswitch.TC-SysSetup and copies it into
	/etc/nsswitch.conf. The nsswitch.conf file is not
	appropriate for some configurations.  The fix is to
	(1) remove /etc/nsswitch.conf
	if it is the same as the previously delivered
	/etc/nsswitch.TC-SysSetup, and
	(2) deliver a new /etc/nsswitch.TC-SysSetup
	correcting the defect.  The new
	/etc/nsswitch.TC-SysSetup file is not copied
	into /etc/nsswitch.conf .
	After applying the patch, /etc/nsswitch.conf
	will either be removed (if it
	is the same as the previous
	/etc/nsswitch.TC-SysSetup) or untouched
	(otherwise).
