Bug numbers from Silicon Graphics bug tracking system are included for reference. o Patch SG0002255 introduce a new bug 520706 (see below) if you have already installed print ism 1.7.2. To remedy this situation, you can just uninstall patch SG0002255 since the new print ism already included the fix of Bug 449262 along with other fixes. o This patch is identical to patch SG0002255, except that it makes sure the patch will not be installed if the system has already installed with the latest version of print ism 1.7.2. The latest version of print ism has included this fix with some other bugs resolved. o This patch is identical to patch SG0002022, except that it installs the file /etc/config/lp with the contents of on if that file doesn't exist. This matches changes to the startup script made in patc1686 that chhecks for this config file, so that the lp subsystem will be started at system boot, but still allows it to be turned off, as in newer IRIX releases.1.4 Bugs Fixed by the patches replaced by Patch SG0002414. o Bug 449262 /usr/lib/print/netprint does not check that the invoking user is the lp or root user. o Bug 520706 patch2255 breaks printing on indy1.5 Subsystems Included in Patch SG0002414 This patch release includes these subsystems: o SG0002255.print.sw.spooler1.6 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> quit1.7 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.1.8 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): 27903 2 patchSG0002414 39043 2 patchSG0002414.idb 52309 24 patchSG0002414.print_sw INST SUBSYSTEM FILE LISTINGS The following lists the files which get installed from each subsystem in the patch:
