TLS704 - Statically linked utilities and versions of libc.so.1 for OpenServer 5 Contents: TLS704 contains a small set of crucial shell utilities that are statically linked and function independently of /usr/lib/libc.so.1. In the event that the libc.so.1 becomes corrupted or lost, these utilities can aid in the restoration of the file, provided that a copy of libc.so.1 exists on the system. Note that Openserver 5.0.5 already has these utilities installed in /sbin and are identical to those supplied by this TLS. This TLS also includes the versions of the libc.so.1 file supplied with each OpenServer 5 release (5.0.0, 5.0.2, 5.0.4, 5.0.5), along with the replaced versions of this file supplied with each of the following SLSs: RS505A (on OpenServer 5.0.5) OSS600A (on OpenServer 5.0.5 + RS505A) OSS601A (on OpenServer 5.0.2 or 5.0.4) OSS603A (on OpenServer 5.0.0) Installation: To install TLS704, place the tls704.tar.Z file in the directory /tmp and follow these steps logged in as root: # cd /tmp # uncompress tls704.tar.Z # tar xvf tls704.tar The statically linked utilities will be located in /tmp/tls704/sbin/ and the various lib.so.1 files will be in /tmp/tls704/libc_backup/, organized by the release version of the operating system or SLS. Move the newly created files from /tmp, into a safe location on your root filesystem for future use. Suggested locations for the libc.so.1 files are /usr/local/libc_backup or /libc_backup, and /sbin for the statically linked utilities. **NOTE** After moving or copying the files, it is critical that they have the correct permissions associated with them or they may not function. Please make sure the utilities have the following permissions: -rwx--x--x 1 bin bin cp -rwx--x--x 1 bin bin ln -rwx--x--x 1 bin bin mv -rwxr-xr-t 1 bin bin sh -rwx--x--x 1 bin bin sync -rwx--x--x 1 bin bin uadmin Also make sure that the libc.so.1 file has the following permissions: -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin libc.so.1 Required Legal Stuff: THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE SANTA CRUZ OPERATION ("SCO") ``AS IS'' AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED.
