This release note describes patch SG0003150 to IRIX 6.2.
1.1 Supported Hardware Platforms
This patch contains bug fixes for all platforms running IRIX
6.2. It requires the sysctl() facility in Patch SG0001251
(or a replacement for Patch SG0001251) so that `ppp` can be
dynamically linked. It also requires Patch SG0001247 (or a
replacement) so that sysctl() will work.
1.2 Supported Software Platforms
This patch contains bug fixes for PPP on a system running
IRIX 6.2. The software cannot be installed on other
configurations.
1.3 Bugs Fixed by Patch SG0003150
This patch contains fixes for the following bugs in IRIX
6.2, and supercedes Patch SG0001388. Bug numbers from
Silicon Graphics bug tracking system are included for
reference.
o Bug number 589335: PPP does not proxy-ARP by default
o Bug number 584838: PPP via ISDN MRU negotiation problem
o Bug number 605143: PPP connections fail after 21 days
uptime
In addition, the following bugs fixed by patch SG0001388 are
also fixed Bug number 383999: ppp multlink channel
allocation not good enough

1.5 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> quit
1.6 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): 65140 2 patchSG0003150 34880 75 patchSG0003150.eoe_man 38207 1058 patchSG0003150.eoe_sw 34488 9 patchSG0003150.idb INST SUBSYSTEM FILE LISTINGS The following lists the files which get installed from each subsystem in the patch:
