Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_17711

Symptoms:
	PHCO_17711:
	nroff -ms option appends the year field to "19"
	causing a 6 digit year output. This is due to
	a hardcoded "19" in the file tmac.s.

	PHCO_15097:
	Three digit year displayed starting year 2000.

	PHCO_6459:
	man(1) aborts because nroff(1) dumps core when the TMPDIR
	env variable is set to a value greater than 8 characters.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_17711:
	Since the file tmac.s has a hardcoded "19", the year
	field with the -ms option was getting appended to 19.
	The harcoded "19" has now been taken out and now there
	are no problems with the year field output with the
	-ms option.

	Resolution:
	The hardcoded "19" has now been taken out from the file
	tmac.s This was present as nroff(1) used to give the year
	field in 2 digits, nroff(1) has now been changed to give
	out the year field in 4 digits.

	After installation of the patch, nroff -ms gives the
	correct year

	PHCO_15097:
	Year displayed at year 2020 was "120". 1900 is added to
	display the real four digit year.

	PHCO_6459:
	man(1) aborts because of nroff(1) core dump when TMPDIR
	environment variable is set to a value greater than 8
	characters.

Installation Instructions:

	------------------------------------------------------------
	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_17711

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

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHCO_17711.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_17711.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_17711.  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_17711.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_17711.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
