Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_13807

Symptoms:
	PHCO_13807:
	The /sbin/init.d/comsec script does not correctly
	start ttsyncd when both /usr/sbin/rpc.nisd and
	/usr/sbin/rpc.nisd_resolv are running.  If
	both daemons are running the ttsyncd daemon will
	not be launched and the NIS+ trusted tables will
	either not be initially created or not be kept
	in sync with the passwd table.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_13807:
	The /sbin/init.d/comsec script contains a function
	called findproc() to determine if the rpc.nisd
	daemon is running.  This function does not
	gracefully handle the case where multiple daemons
	match the search criteria.

	For example, on this system both rpc.nisd and
	rpc.nisd_resolv are running:

	# ps -e | grep rpc.nisd
	   788 ?         0:00 rpc.nisd_resolv
	   779 ?         0:00 rpc.nisd

	When comsec script is used to start the ttsyncd
	here is what happens:

	# /sbin/init.d/comsec start
	    starting the Trusted Table Sync Daemon (ttsyncd)
	/sbin/init.d/comsec.orig[95]: 788^J779: Syntax error
	        rpc.nisd not running

Installation Instructions:
	Please review all instructions and the Hewlett-Packard
	SupportLine User Guide or your Hewlett-Packard support terms
	and conditions for precautions, scope of license,
	restrictions, and, limitation of liability and warranties,
	before installing this patch.
	------------------------------------------------------------
	1. Back up your system before installing a patch.

	2. Login as root.

	3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.

	4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:

		cd /tmp
		sh PHCO_13807

	5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
	    patch:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHCO_13807.depot

	5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the
	    server to install the patch on the server and the clients:

		swcluster -i -b

	    This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and
	    force all clients to be shut down.

	    WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the
		     patch installation.  Installing the patch while the
		     clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to
		     serious problems.

	    The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which
	    you must specify:

		alternate root path  -  default is /export/shared_root/OS_700
		source depot path    -  /tmp/PHCO_13807.depot

	    To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing
	    "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install"
	    from the Menubar.

	5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster:

		- run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install
		  the patch on the cluster server.

		- run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install
		  the patch on the cluster clients.

	By default swinstall will archive the original software in
	/var/adm/sw/patch/PHCO_13807.  If you do not wish to retain a
	copy of the original software, you can create an empty file
	named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE.

	Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the
	         patch cannot be deinstalled.  Please be careful
		 when using this feature.

	It is recommended that you move the PHCO_13807.text file to
	/var/adm/sw/patch for future reference.

	To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the
	tape drive, use the command:

		dd if=/tmp/PHCO_13807.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
