Patch Description: s700_800 10.10-20 cumulative newgrp(1) patch

Creation Date: 96/12/17

Post Date:  96/12/23

Warning: 97/08/14 - This Non-Critical Warning has been issued by HP.

	- PHCO_9605 does not support the large user ID feature on
	  HP-UX 10.20.  A user with a UID larger than 59,999 that
	  belongs to more than one group will get a "Sorry" message
	  when they try to change groups with the newgrp(1) command
	  included in this patch.
	- There is only a problem with this patch for LUID users on
	  HP-UX 10.20 that use thew newgrp(1) command to change
	  groups.  There is no problem on HP-UX 10.10, since large
	  UIDs are not supported.  There is also no problem with
	  UIDs smaller than 59,999 on HP-UX 10.20.
	- PHCO_9605 will be replaced immediately by PHCO_12097 for
	  HP-UX 10.20 and PHCO_12098 for HP-UX 10.10.  PHCO_9605
	  should be removed from any 10.20 system that utilizes
	  large UIDs and PHCO_12097 should be installed.

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_9605

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

                swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
                        -s /tmp/PHCO_9605.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_9605.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_9605.  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_9605.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_9605.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
