Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_22411

Symptoms:
	PHCO_22411:
	1. rlpdaemon, lpstat, lp, cancel, disable, enable, rlpstat
	   and rcancel have memory overflow.

	2. rlpdaemon does not handle control characters correctly.

	PHCO_15615:
	Buffer overflow in rwrite and rlpdaemon could
	memory fault.

	PHCO_11440:
	1. Cancelling a lp job with empty control file
	   clears the whole queue.
	2. Printer gets disabled on cancelling a printing
	   job.

	PHCO_10748:
	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_8487:
	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_7103:
	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 ).
	2.  lp is not able to print from a directory that has
	    no perms for the world
	3.  Permission denied from rcancel if NIS uppercase and
	    hostname lowercase.
	4.  rcancel (1M) fails with "Permission denied" if
	    hostname is fully qualified.
	5.  rlpdaemon and spooler subsytem not working with
	    WINDOWS NT.
	6.  lp spooler hangs if printers with active requests
	    are disbled.
	7.  lpsched(1M) deadlocks when its total "MORE" message
	    length exceeds 8192 bytes.
	8.  Divpage was treating the character '0xff' as EOF. When
	    it gets this character it stops processing the input
	    file.
	9.  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.
	10. 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.x  and remote spooling to the any other HP machine
	    running 10.01, 9.04 or 9.05.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_22411:
	1. Memory fault in the commands is because of the
	   incorrect handling of buffer for error message.

	   Resolution:
	   The buffer size is increased for the error message.
	   If the argument is longer than the allocated buffer
	   size, it is truncated before printing the error
	   message.

	2. rlpdaemon does not filter control characters.
	   Because of this, some control characters may
	   turn the user's terminal insane.

	   Resolution:
	   Control characters are replaced with blanks in
	   rlpdaemon.

	PHCO_15615:
	rwrite and rlpdaemon should not cause any
	memory fault due to buffer overflows

	PHCO_11440:
	1. Cancelling a lp job with empty control file
	   clears the whole queue.
	2. Printer gets disabled on cancelling a printing
	   job.

	PHCO_10748:
	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.
