Patch Name: PHCO_9832 Patch Description: s700_800 10.0X-10 user and group accounts cumulative patch Creation Date: 97/01/15 Post Date: 97/02/03 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.00 10.01 10.10 s800: 10.00 10.01 10.10 Products: N/A Filesets: OS-Core.SYS-ADMIN Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Superseded Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_9832 Symptoms: PHCO_9832: useradd(1M) claims passwd file is busy if system is NIS client. PHCO_9536: PHCO_8088 erroneously reports an error "Cannot create home directory" PHCO_8088: After installing the cumulative patch PHCO_7257, the commands useradd(1M) and usermod(1M) reports error even after achieving the required functionality PHCO_7257: This patch prevents the corruption of the /etc/passwd file when commands that modify the /etc/passwd file are executed simultaneously. PHCO_6821: This patch superceedes PHCO_6435. This patch is created for 10.00 10.01 and 10.10. The previous patch PHCO_6435 was not created for 10.10. PHCO_6435: Usermod(1M) corrupts /etc/group file with multiple lines for same group. This patch fixes this problem. If a hard link is maintained between the /etc/group and /etc/logingroup and now if the groupadd/groupmod/groupdel are executed, then the link was broken. This defect is fixed in this patch. When a user is added in NIS client-server configuration, then any NIS escape sequence should be permitted. This fix is also available in this patch. PHCO_6261: Any user converted to trusted system mode which does not login before the "Lock Inactive Accounts" option is chosen, is deactivated. The patch PHCO_6435 replaces PHCO_6261. PHCO_6057: Under trusted system mode, with a large number of users, adding a new user takes a long time (e.g. 20 minutes). PHCO_5932: Any user added to a C2 system after the "Lock Inactive Accounts" option is chosen starts out deactivated.

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_9832 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHCO_9832.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_9832.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_9832. 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_9832.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_9832.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
