This directory contains a circumvention for APAR IY16084.

Problem Description
-------------------
The rsh and rcp commands fail with "unknown host" error on AIX 4.3.3
with ssp.clients 2.x.x and bos.net.tcp.client 4.3.3.13 or higher when
NS is used for name resolution.

There are 3 workarounds to resolve this problem.

1) Use /etc/hosts for name resolution instead of DNS
2) Upgrade PSSP to version 3
3) Implement the circumvention provided in this directory

The permanent resolution of this problem is to upgrade PSSP to version
3 or higher.


Installation
------------
(0) Download rcmd.tar.Z in binary format to /tmp and use the following
    command to extract the files.

      cd /tmp
      compress -dc rcmd.tar.Z | tar -xvf-

(1) Make sure that size of rsh.fix is 327122 and                          
    sum is "61629   320"                                                
                                                                       
    Make sure that size of rcp.fix is 343732 and
    sum is "35392   336"

(2) cp /usr/bin/rsh /usr/bin/rsh.orig
    cp /usr/bin/rcp /usr/bin/rcp.orig

(3) cp /tmp/rsh.fix /usr/bin/rsh
    cp /tmp/rcp.fix /usr/bin/rcp

(4) make sure that owner/group/persmission are root system -r-sr-xr-x 
    for both.

(5) ln -f /usr/ccs/lib/libpthreads_compat.a /usr/local/lib/libpthreads.a  
                                                                          
(6) test rcp command and rsh commands.                                   
                                                                       
NOTE:
====
Make sure to keep copy of rsh.fix and rcp.fix somewhere in safe place.
Because every time you install bos.net.tcp.client in future, you need to
copy rsh.fix and rcp.fix as /usr/bin/rsh and /usr/bin/rcp respectively.
