Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_12617

Symptoms:
	PHSS_12617:
	D500328567
	omscan with the -f option will corrupt all openmail
	users that have their user directoy in directories
	~openmail/user0a, ~openmail/user0b .... etc.
	This will generall be the case in system where user
	ids greater than about 4000 (decimal).

Defect Description:
	PHSS_12617:
	D500328567
	There is a section of code in the 'scn_ScanUsers'
	function that checks to verify that the current
	user directory in question is infact a genuine
	Openmail user directory.
	To do this it checks to see that the characters
	after 'user' in the directory name are digits.
	The problem is that the characters after 'user'
	are in base32, and so can be 0-9 and a-v.
	Once the check has failed, all the directories
	not thought to be genuine Openmail directories
	are 'orphaned', leading to all users in these
	directories having their folders deleted.

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 PHSS_12617

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

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHSS_12617.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/PHSS_12617.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/PHSS_12617.  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 PHSS_12617.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/PHSS_12617.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k

Special Installation Instructions:
	NOTE: OpenMail must be shutdown before installing
	this patch.
