Patches Issued Since the CS2/MMS2 Release

The customer needs to have more ﬂexibility with the Event

Conﬁguration Manager for assigning levels of access for users in

different managed subnets, i.e. user "A" can use CM in subnet "A" but

not in subnet "B".

The ECM has been altered so that ECM will not read the community

string of the user. But the SPECTRUM security underneath will

prevent a user from seeing the devices in other domains and hence

prevent users from attempting to load/capture/verify on these devices.

The user must have write access to the devices in his domain for ECM

host conﬁg operations to succeed.

The problem was a security issue when the SPECTRUM directories

have "write" privileges granted to the group "other". An unauthorized

user could potentially go in and replace ﬁles in the SPECTRUM

directories or place corrupt ﬁles/executables that could cause serious

damage to a SPECTRUM machine or disk. Only authorized users

should have "write" privileges to the SPECTRUM directories and

users belonging to the group "other" should not have these privileges.

This behavior, although undesirable, is working as designed presently.

The tar command is supposed to behave differently if run as the "root"

user and because SPECTRUM is normally installed by the "root" user,

"tar" is also running as root.

The resolution was to change newtar to allow a -u ﬂag, which will

honor umask even if run as the "root" user. This will mean

SPECTRUM can extract the ﬁles as the user would like according to

their umask setting. However, this will only effect the products/ﬁles

that you are currently installing. Any ﬁles that are currently set to

have write privileges to the group "other" will have to be changed

manually.

The problem is that ATMDisc is not resolving ATM Edge device

connections in an ATM Network. An ATM Edge device is a device that

lies on the edge of an ATM "Network" or "Cloud". For example, an

HSIM with an APIM installed, a BRIM with an APIM, or a 9A426_02,
