UFS disk space leak when mmap()'ing small files. Defect Description: PHNE_10015: The Proxy performance decreases because the client stack is not handled properly while shutting down connection on user interrupts. (SR 4701349456 5003350959 5003337188 5003334680) The cache corruption is caused by an HPUX kernel bug. The workaround provided by Netscape is to disable the use of mmap. (SR 4701349456 4701347963) Bug fixes included: 1) mmap disabled by default to work around the HP-UX kernel bug which causes filesystem lossage when mmap is used. 2) Drop connections hung in FIN_WAIT_2 state to work around problem caused by client stack not properly shutting down connection on user interrupts. 3) Keep-alive disabled in this version because it caused up-to-date checks to hang. Keep-alive will be fixed in SURF-Pack 2. 4) Incoming I/O read timeout lowered to 1 minute. 5) Proxy now discards cache files with bad CIF entries. 6) DNS cache file in /tmp no longer visible.

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 PHNE_10015 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHNE_10015.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/PHNE_10015.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/PHNE_10015. 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 PHNE_10015.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/PHNE_10015.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: IMPORTANT!!! This patch has to be applied on top of Proxy 2.5. A domestic version of this patch is available. For a copy, please contact your support engineer or the response center. License is required for both the export and domestic versions of this patch. Run /var/tmp/ns-proxy2.5p1/install after installing this patch. The "install" program will ask for the Server Root Directory. In most cases, it will be /opt/hpwebsuite/ns-proxy. It will then add and replace files in the directories relative to the server root given. The following files will be updated: ./bin/proxy/ns-proxy ./bin/proxy/admin/bin/sitemon ./extras/proxy/sitemon The patch can be backed out when needed; the /var/tmp/ns-proxy2.5p1/uninstall script provides this capability.
