ABSTRACT:

The ptf104 file contains ptf104 - spx driver fix for rollover 
problem. The nvtconn patch addresses the issue where NVT users 
receive the message:  

          No remote login ports available 1. 

when they attempt to make an NVT connection to an application server.
This problem was caused by the lack of an NVT connection timeout. 
This patch is also included in UnixWare update 1.1.1. If you have 
update 1.1.1 installed on your system, you do not need this patch.

SYMPTOM

This patch addressed a problem where NVT connections would not timeout and
eventually none would be available to NVT users.

SOLUTION

After installation of this patch, NVT connections that have been terminated
will timeout within 5 minutes, freeing up those connections for other NVT
users.

Apply the ptf104 file.
