A conversion process is provided (the existing insightAdmin
command). Various options for performing the conversion are
available through this tool. It is important to note that the conversion
only needs to be done once, unless additional products are installed
that still contain books in the “old format”. Be advised that this
process can be time consuming. Total time is based on the size and
number of books that need to be converted, and the availability of
system resources. On average, 1-3 minutes per book on an older
desktop-class machine (R5000 O2) can be expected. For that reason, a
system administrator may wish to perform this operation at an
off-peak time.
For further details, see the insight and infosearch release notes, and
the related man pages (insightAdmin(1), insight(1), sgihelp(1),
infosearch(1)). Virtually all SGI documentation can be accessed
from http://techpubs.sgi.com.

• Enhancement to Remote Shell Daemon (rshd)
In IRIX 6.5.17, the Remote Shell Daemon (rshd) has been enhanced
to check for expired passwords. Users who attempt to access a
system using rsh to an account that has an expired password will be
denied access. An administrator who is using password expiration
no longer has to disable rshd in order to prevent expired users from
accessing the system. For information, see the rshd(1M) man page.
