Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_14527

Symptoms:
	PHCO_14527:
	1. If you submit more than 52 files lp does not
	   remove those above 52.
	2. lpsched -v writes strange strings in log file
	   if LANG is set.
	3. lpsched -v intermittently stops by SIGSEGV in
	   catgets if LANG is set.
	4. 'lpstat' and 'cancel' memory fault with PHCO_11439
	   and LANG=Japanese.

	PHCO_11439:
	1. Cancelling a lp job with empty control file
	   clears the whole queue.
	2. Printer gets disabled on cancelling a printing
	   job.

	PHCO_10411:
	1. LP-spool hang or qstatus corrupt when /var full
	   log says:Bogus request
	2. Parent lpsched hangs when lpalt is used to move
	   a request.
	3. Model scripts does not handle SIGTERM any more.
	4. lpsched introduced 5 sec delay between prints at 10.20

	PHCO_8486:
	1. lpsched hangs under FIFO full condition
	2. Printers go idle even when requests are present
	   in the queue
	3. Jobs not printed when remote host(IBM) immediately
	   snaps connection.
	4. If a BSD system spooler sends a '\001' to rlp(1)
	   after the control file has been sent, rlp(1) simply
	   ignores the '\001' and removes the entry.

	PHCO_7102:
	1. When request comes from IBM, to a printer which is
	   in turn configured as a remote printer to another
	   system ( BSD or Non-BSD ) , the printer queue in
	   question will be shut down( disabled ).

	PHCO_6631:
	1. Permission denied from rcancel if NIS uppercase and
	   hostname lowercase.
	2. rcancel (1M) fails with "Permission denied" if
	   hostname is fully qualified.
	3. rlpdaemon and spooler subsytem not working with
	   WINDOWS NT.

	PHCO_6473:
	1. lp spooler hangs if printers with active requests
	   are disbled.
	2. lpsched(1M) deadlocks when its total "MORE" message
	   length exceeds 8192 bytes.
	3. Divpage was treating the character '0xff' as EOF. When
	   it gets this character it stops processing the input
	   file.

	PHCO_6310:
	   If disk space is not available on the remote server to
	   receive a print job the remote server responds with a
	   return code of 02. The rlp process continues to run
	   for approximately 5 minutes before it dies.

	PHCO_5998:
	   When large number of files are sent to a remote spooler
	   the first couple of files are printed at the expected
	   speed but rest of the following files are printed very
	   slowly.  The problem is seen on any machine running
	   10.01 and remote spooling to the any other HP machine
	   running 10.01, 9.04 or 9.05.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_14527:
	1. Spooler was only deleting the data files whose
	   names start with "d".
	2. with LANG set, lpsched was improperly handling
	   repeated calls to catgets().
	3. Due to sharing of same fd's of catalogue message
	   files between parent and child processes in lpsched,
	   a SIGSEGV used to cause coredumps intermittently.
	4. The memory fault was due to buffer overflow with
	   LANG set.

	PHCO_11439:
	1. Cancelling a lp job with empty control file
	   clears the whole queue.
	2. Printer gets disabled on cancelling a printing
	   job.

Installation Instructions:
	Please review all instructions and the Hewlett-Packard
	SupportLine User Guide or your Hewlett-Packard support terms
	and conditions for precautions, scope of license,
	restrictions, and, limitation of liability and warranties,
	before installing this patch.
	------------------------------------------------------------
	1. Back up your system before installing a patch.

	2. Login as root.

	3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.

	4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:

		cd /tmp
		sh PHCO_14527

	5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
	    patch:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHCO_14527.depot

	5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the
	    server to install the patch on the server and the clients:

		swcluster -i -b

	    This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and
	    force all clients to be shut down.

	    WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the
		     patch installation.  Installing the patch while the
		     clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to
		     serious problems.

	    The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which
	    you must specify:

		alternate root path  -  default is /export/shared_root/OS_700
		source depot path    -  /tmp/PHCO_14527.depot

	    To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing
	    "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install"
	    from the Menubar.

	5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster:

		- run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install
		  the patch on the cluster server.

		- run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install
		  the patch on the cluster clients.

	By default swinstall will archive the original software in
	/var/adm/sw/patch/PHCO_14527.  If you do not wish to retain a
	copy of the original software, you can create an empty file
	named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE.

	Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the
	         patch cannot be deinstalled.  Please be careful
		 when using this feature.

	It is recommended that you move the PHCO_14527.text file to
	/var/adm/sw/patch for future reference.

	To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the
	tape drive, use the command:

		dd if=/tmp/PHCO_14527.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
