TITLE:              PTF160 - Accept call failure with errno 5
DOCUMENT ID:        TID300029
DOCUMENT REVISION:  B
DATE:               25JAN95
ALERT STATUS:       Yellow
INFORMATION TYPE:   Symptom Solution
README FOR:         PTF160

PRODUCT and VERSION:
UnixWare 1.1

ABSTRACT:

The ptf160 file contains PTF160 - Fix for accept call failure with errno
5. This package has drivers for five modules i.e tcp, udp, sockmod, 
rawip and icmp in pkgadd format. This PTF requires UnixWare v1.1


SYMPTOM

The problem arises when a sockets-based (not TLI-based) client 
initiates a connection attempt to a server and then aborts the 
connection attempt before the server has had a chance to accept 
the connection request.  The disconnect indication will be 
mistakenly delivered to socket on which the server is listening, 
which will result in the server being unable to receive any further 
connection requests.  The only work-around available prior to this 
PTF would have been to stop and restart the server.

SOLUTION

Apply the ptf160 file.


Installation Instructions:

DATATYPE: datastream

1.  Download the ptf160.Z and ptf160.txt files to the /tmp directory on
    your machine.
