RELEASE NOTES
1. Patch SG0002253 Release Note This release note describes patch SG0002253 to IRIX 6.2. Patch SG0002253 replaces patches SG0001523, SG0001561, SG0001666 and SG0001988.1.1 Supported Hardware Platforms This patch contains bug fixes for all platforms. The software cannot be installed on other configurations.1.2 Supported Software Platforms This patch contains bug fixes for the AutoFS commands in onc3_eoe.sw.autofs (versions 1232792120, 1233007720, 1233107120 and 1239999910) on a system running IRIX 6.2. The software cannot be installed on other configurations.1.3 Bugs Fixed by Patch SG0002253 This patch contains fixes for the following bugs in IRIX 6.2. Bug numbers from Silicon Graphics bug tracking system are included for reference. o Support for NIS maps in AutoFS configurations was broken (bug #332859). o Add support for the Bulk Data Service (bug #383918). o AutoFS did not support expansion of the CPU and ARCH environment variables (bug #403139). o AutoFS now supports the NFS option "proto=tcp" (RFE #436130). Use of this functionality requires that patch 1608 or newer also be installed on the system. o AutoFS no longer corrupts /etc/mtab (bug #448137). o AutoFS recognizes the nodev mount option and it is now part of the default config (bug #461939). o AutoFS recognizes the grpid mount option (bug #471902). o The default configuration for AutoFS contains the "vers=2" option in /etc/auto_master causing all mounts to be performed using NFS V2. If map entries do not contain the "vers=2" string then NFS V3 must be installed, so that AutoFS can attempt mounts with NFS V3 (bug #437758). o The autofs(1M) man page has been updated to clarify the usage of nested maps. o AutoFS now supports the Bulk Data Service.1.4 Subsystems Included in Patch SG0002253 This patch release includes these subsystems: o patchSG0002253.onc3_eoe.sw.autofs1.5 Installation Instructions Because you want to install only the patches for problems you have encountered, patch software is not installed by default. After reading the descriptions of the bugs fixed in this patch (see Section 1.3), determine the patches that meet your specific needs. If, after reading Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of these release notes, you are unsure whether your hardware and software meet the requirements for installing a particular patch, run inst. The inst program does not allow you to install patches that are incompatible with your hardware or software. Patch software is installed like any other Silicon Graphics software product. Follow the instructions in your Software Installation Administrator's Guide to bring up the miniroot form of the software installation tools. Follow these steps to select a patch for installation: 1. At the Inst> prompt, type install patchSGxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the patch number. 2. Initiate the installation sequence. Type Inst> go 3. You may find that two patches have been marked as incompatible. (The installation tools reject an installation request if an incompatibility is detected.) If this occurs, you must deselect one of the patches. Inst> keep patchSGxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the patch number. 4. After completing the installation process, exit the inst program by typing Inst> quit1.6 Patch Removal Instructions To remove a patch, use the versions remove command as you would for any other software subsystem. The removal process reinstates the original version of software unless you have specifically removed the patch history from your system. versions remove patchSGxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the patch number. To keep a patch but increase your disk space, use the versions removehist command to remove the patch history. versions removehist patchSGxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the patch number.1.7 Known Problems INST SUBSYSTEM REQUIREMENTS No Requirements Information Available. INST SUBSYSTEM CHECKSUMS These checksums help to provide a 'signature' for the patch inst image which can be used to authenticate other inst images. You can obtain this kind of output by running sum -r on the image (from the command line): 60040 3 patchSG0002253 29665 2 patchSG0002253.idb 63737 6 patchSG0002253.onc3_eoe_man 47344 129 patchSG0002253.onc3_eoe_sw INST SUBSYSTEM FILE LISTINGS The following lists the files which get installed from each subsystem in the patch:
