HP Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Server Version 5.1B-6 Patch Summary and Release Notes

• Eliminates two warning messages from the SysMan Security Configuration tool. One appears
when changing the root password on systems with ASU installed and the other appears
when a user tries to trim auth logs before they are created.
• Corrects a problem in which running the usermod command with certain options, such as
-x distributed grace_limit, results in a “Cross-device link” error when the var and yp
directories belong to two different filesets, on a NIS master.
• Corrects a problem in which when a node in a cluster is rebooted, the SysMan Station
daemons running on each of the other nodes core dumps and a core file can be seen on the
root (/) directory.
• Changes the use of the configuration file /etc/svc.conf to /etc/nsswitch.conf to allow netgroup
data to be provided from LDAP rather than only from NIS.

local node.

file.

devices or file systems of a cluster node that is down.

directory tries to view the network daemon status of a cluster alias or a remote node or tries
to set up network interface cards on a remote node.
