Symptoms:
	PHCO_22956:
	SR:8606172165 DTS:JAGad41427
	  Unable to change ip-address using set_parms.
	SR:8606187199 DTS:JAGad56407
	  When using "set_parms timezone" the name of the timezone
	for Middle European daylight saving time does not match the
	standard, expected name in /usr/lib/tztab.

	PHCO_21992:
	1. In some cases, a non-privileged local user could prevent
	   an HP-UX machine from booting properly.
	2. A user could obtain unauthorized privileges.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_22956:
	SR:8606172165 DTS:JAGad41427
	 When "set_parms ip_address" command is issued, the GUI
	window pops up asking for the new IP address. When the new
	IP address is entered, the command hangs and finally times
	out.
	SR:8606187199 DTS:JAGad56407
	When using "set_parms timezone" it is not possible to
	set the "Middle European daylight saving time" option. This
	will cause the time change to happen on the wrong date in
	the Spring, since it will default to the US pattern. Other
	than the time change, the timezone string works fine and
	gives the right clock offset.

	PHCO_21992:
	Insecure operations in shell code.
