Enhancements
No Sync Pre-Enablement
HP-UX IPFilter A.03.05.12 is pre-enabled to support the NOSYNC method of Streams
synchronization.
NOTE In addition to IPFilter, the complete NOSYNC solution involves changes in
Streams, Transport, and DLPI; the complete solution is not yet available. The
HP-UX IPFilter release note will be updated with the necessary enhancement
details and dependencies when the complete solution is available.
RPC and IPFilter
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) services do not use fixed port numbers, making it difficult to
write IPFilter rules to filter RPC traffic. A new set of scripts is included with this release
which dynamically discover RPC ports and adds rules based on a configuration file.
The RPC enhancement is available for HP-UX 11.0, HP-UX 11i version 1, and HP-UX 11i
version 2.
