I didn't get too many responses. The good news is that, with only one
exception, both 100075-05 and 100075-06 have been working well.
The patches have been installed on Sun3's, Sun4's and Solbournes, with
SunOS 4.0.3, 4.1, and 4.1.1, and Solbourne's 4.0D. Some sites have a mix
of operating systems and architectures. The one site that had problems
got 100075-06 second-hand from a software vendor so there still may be
hope for them. Nobody is mixing different versions of the lockd patch
on the same net.
But something doesn't make any sense to me. This week I installed 4.1.1 on a
new sparcstation2. When I do a "what" on the 4.1.1 version of rpc.lockd I
see that it is newer than the 100075-06 version. Yet there have been several
complaints from people running 4.1.1 that the lockd is broken. Did Sun
break it again?
We decided to wait for Solbourne to release the 100075-06 patch and install
that version everywhere. There's a good chance Solbourne will be ready to
release the patch sometime next week.
