Transport Optional Upgrade Release (TOUR) 1.0 Release Notes

Known Problems and Limitations

TOUR 1.0 includes the following known problem and limitations:

Known Problem

The ipnodes Entry Conﬁguration

If you have set a hosts entry in the /etc/nsswitch.conf ﬁle, you must set a similar

ipnodes entry in this ﬁle. You have to perform this conﬁguration even if you do not use the

IPv6 addresses.

NOTE You cannot use NIS or NIS+ on the ipnodes entry.

This problem will be ﬁxed in a future libc patch.

Limitations

The limitations of HP-UX 11i IPv6 included in TOUR 1.0 are as follows:

• Distributed File System Limitation

Currently, NIS+, NIS, and NFS are not supported over IPv6.

• The setparms Utility Limitation

On HP-UX 11i, the setparms utility has not been enhanced to support IPv6 conﬁguration.

• The who -R, last -R, finger -R Commands Limitations

The who -R, last -R, and finger -R commands have not been enhanced for IPv6. Thus,

the following cases are observed when using these commands:

— The who -R and last -R commands output displays a truncated IP address when

HP-UX 11i IPv6 on TOUR 1.0 is installed and the user logs in remotely using an IP

address instead of a hostname.

— The finger -R command output displays a local host name, not the remote host

name, when HP-UX 11i IPv6 included in TOUR 1.0 is installed.
