This patch supports TCPware V5.6-2 for OpenVMS VAX v5.5-2 through v7.3 and OpenVMS Alpha v6.2 through v7.3-2. This kit has an ECO ranking of 3 (Corrects a specific problem). The overall ECO rank of this kit is 2. (Recommended; individual component) Included in this kit is a fix for the following D/E: o D/E 9764: Fixed problem with V3 CREATE procedure, corrected handling of EXCLUSIVE type create functionality. Changes made in rev 3.0: o Added support for ODS-5 filesystem. o D/E 9541: Corrects a problem where parsing of ODS-2 directories could result in a hang. Changes made in rev 2.0: o D/E 9359: Cannot move a file from export after upgrade to V3 server. Fixed a problem with the new V3 procedure ACCESS. Changes made in rev 1.0: o Fixed problem with reading & writing to/from very large files (greater than 4 gigabytes) with variable record formats. Support for 64-bit data types added to attribute handling for variable type files. [D/E 8335] o Fixed problem with FSSTAT response (used by clients to show total disk space, etc). Was not supporting very large exports (greater than 4 gigabytes). [D/E 8335] o Fixed intermittent problem with READDIRPLUS handling of directory cache. After any QIO failures during a directory read (to build the directory cache) entries may have been corrupted. This NFSDV3 Version 3 server supports both NFS V2 and V3, and is designed to meet the specification as defined in RFC 1813. Please refer to RFC 1813 for detailed descriptions of the NFS V3 protocol. The existing NFS Server must be shut down before installation by issuing the command: @TCPWARE:SHUTNET NFS To activate the NFS V3 server, configure it by running "@TCPWARE:CNFNET NFS". Select the V3 server when prompted and complete the configuration. NFS V2 server variables set previously will be retained during the configuration. At the end of the configuration, answer "YES" to "Do you wish to restart the NFS-OpenVMS server?" If for any reason you wish to fall back to the V2 server, run "@TCPWARE:CNFNET NFS" and answer "NO" to the question: "Do you want the NFS V3 Server (NFSDV3) [YES]:". Select the V2 server at the next configuration prompt, and when the configuration is complete then answer "YES" to the "Do you wish to restart the NFS-OpenVMS server?" question. *********************************************************************** * PLEASE NOTE: The V2 server (NFSD.EXE) DOES NOT have ODS-5 support. * * Process Software recommends running the V3 NFS server. * *********************************************************************** [End of ECO announcement] ================================================================================ Archive-Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2004 15:04:57 -0400 Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2004 15:04:40 -0400 From: bryant@PROCESS.COM Reply-To: Info-TCPware@process.com To: TCPware-Announce@PROCESS.COM Message-ID: <00A39975.6BBAA55E.63@triton.process.com> Subject: TCPware ECO kit available: LPD_V562P010 TCPware ECO kit announcement The following ECO kit is now available for TCPware: ECO: LPD_V562P010 Description: Allow for restricting range of remote ports Release date: 19-OCT-2004 Ranking: 3 Max ranking: 3 Versions: 5.6-2 ftp://ftp.process.com/support/56_2/lpd_v562p010.zip To search the TCPware ECO database, please visit the following URL: http://vms.process.com/eco.html For more information, contact Process Software via: E-mail: support@process.com Phone: 1-800-394-8700 The ECO kit README contents are below. ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- LPD Patch kit (revision 1.0) for TCPware version 5.6-2 18-OCT-2004 Copyright (c) 2004, by Process Software, LLC Version 1.0 ECO rank: 3 Overall ECO rank: 3 This VMSinstallable saveset provides a new version of LPD for TCPware for OpenVMS. You must restart the LPS system after installation for these changes to take effect. The following change[s] has been made: - A new logical name (TCPWARE_LPD_PORT_RANGE) has been added to allow specification of the range of remote port addresses to accept as valid or to specify that range checking should be disabled entirely. (D/E 3196) Usage of this enhancement: Define TCPWARE_LPD_PORT_RANGE in the system table, in executive mode. The value may be in one of these valid formats: "NONE", "OFF" or "N" = turn off port range checking. Accept connections from any port on a valid host. "n,m" = the range of ports to accept connections from, where "n" is the lowest valid port number, and "m" is the highest valid port number. Both "n" and "m" must be in the range 1 to 65535, with "m" being greater than "n". The default, if the logical does not exist, or has an invalid format, is any port number less than 1024, which is the range used in previous releases of the TCPware LPD server. Examples: This allows any port on a valid host to connect: $ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE_MODE TCPWARE_LPD_PORT_RANGE "OFF" This allows any port in the range 1 to 2048 (inclusive) on a valid host to connect: $ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE_MODE TCPWARE_LPD_PORT_RANGE "1,2048" This is equivalent to the default setting when there is no logical found: $ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE_MODE TCPWARE_LPD_PORT_RANGE "1,1023" The old version of LPD will be renamed to: tcpware:lpd.exe_old Once installed, you may undo this patch by renaming the file back to tcpware:lpd.exe and then restarting LPS.

This release differs from its predecessors because it runs as a standalone SMTP proxy, allowing it to work with TCPware SMTP server or any other email server. It is also the only commercially available anti-spam product on OpenVMS (Linux and Solaris are also supported). Extensive tests have consistently produced a spam detection accuracy rate of 98% (no tuning is required).
