This patch is scheduled for distribution with the October IRIX recommended patchset for "[Power] Challenge DM/L/XL & [Power] Onyx systems". This patch is also available through normal SGI patch distribution methods. This patch replaces patch 2678. 2914 - IRIX 6.3 DCE & DFS 1.1C Base Rollup #2. This patch is scheduled for distribution with the October IRIX recommended patchset for O2 systems. This patch is also available through normal SGI patch distribution methods. This patch replaces patch 2680. 2916 - IRIX 6.4 DCE & DFS 1.1C Base Rollup #2. This patch is available through normal SGI patch distribution methods. This patch replaces patch 2682. Bugs fixed by DCE & DFS roll-up patch #2. ----------------------------------------- (Problems associated with the DCE or DFS servers are related to IRIX 6.2 and 6.3 only. The servers are not supported in the DCE package for IRIX 6.4.) This patch contains fixes for the following bugs. Bug numbers from Silicon Graphics bug tracking system are included for reference. o 489383 Too many interfaces in RPC_UNSUPPORTED_NETIFS cause last ones to be ignored. o 514434 Client programs hang when accessing DFS filesystems. The DFS client believes the server is in token recovery when it is not. o 517621 The cma_stdio.h header file needs to include sys/types.h. o 530971 Error in config script. When configuring a cds server, dce_config states in the message that 4.0 is the default, but when it actually asks for an entry it defaults to 3.0. o 539036 The dce_config remembers old cell_admin pw while reconfiguring into a new cell. o 540488 The dced aborts with a SEGV error on systems with MIPS R4000 Processor Chip Revision: 2.2. o 542125 MKDIR over DFS generates an incorrect error message if the directory already exists. o 544349 The klist command as hosts/self is very slow after the machine has been up for a while. Also there are a lot of expired tickets seen in the machine credentials file which can grow very large. (Duplicate of PV 552237.) o 544770 DFS implementation honors the UNIX umask setting over the DFS IC (initial container) acl umask setting for the "group" container acl. o 552237 The dfsbind and dtsd daemons use a large percentage of the CPU. The problem is due to the expired machine credentials and the resources needed to search this large file. o 559637 Excessive writes and reads to CDS cache o 565540 dcecp can not handle a sigvtalarm in some cases. o 568616 Having dce activated, chkconfig dce on, with no cell information hangs boot process. o 573486 DCE'ized ftpd needs to be updated to pick up ftpd changes. o 612545 sec_create_db core dumps if the data already exists o 540087 RFE: Modify dce_config to run on only 1 cpu reducing race conditions. o 569236 RFE: Request for a local dce environment file that survives upgrades (/opt/dcelocal/etc/dce_local_env). Local changes which have been made to dce_com_env (ie. RPC_UNSUPPORTED_NETIFS) should be moved to this file. o 575769 RFE: Request that the dcedfs include files be distributed. o 603787 RFE: Configuration script changes: - Add command line configuration options (dce_config(8)). - Clean up some problems doing reconfigurations. - Make the DFS server configuration easier.

What about DCE and DFS for IRIX 6.5? ------------------------------------ The port of the DCE and DFS clients for IRIX 6.5 is in progress. This port is based on the Open Group release 1.2.2. The DCE/DFS 1.2.2 release is currently in beta test at several customer sites. A release date has not been set and will depend on the result of the beta phase of the development cycle. The final release will require IRIX 6.5.2.
