Managers,

Thanks to Richard L Jackson Jr <rjackson_at_gmu.edu> for his quick response.

My question was:

> I have received DU 3.2G Patch Kit-0001. When running the
"Pre-Installation
> Check ONLY" option of dupatch I get the following message:
>
> Problem installing:
> "V3.2G Patch 0117.00 - Patch: sh and rsh Command Corrections" -
> ./sbin/sh is no longer a had link to ./sbin/.upd..Rsh
> This patch can not be installed.
>
> I have checked & found the following in /sbin:
>
> -rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 2293376 Jul 24 1995 sh

Richard provided the answer:

This is a 'feature' of the patch kit. One of the dupatch scripts adds
/sbin/Rsh
to OSFBASE350.inv -- sneaky little bugger. Anyways, the workaround is to
install patch 117.00 via tar and then have dupatch mark the patch as
already
installed. I reported this problem to Digital 4/9/97. My notes follow
and may be slightly different from your environment...

. shutdown now
. /sbin/bcheckrc
. /sbin/update
. /sbin/swapon -a
FIX /sbin/sh, /sbin/Rsh PROBLEM:
. cp /usr/local/adm/patch/C970122-77/970408/patch_kit/kit/OSFPAT00011700375
                        /tmp/o.tar.Z
. cd /tmp
. uncompress o.tar.Z
. cd /
. tar xf /tmp/o.tar (update /sbin/sh, /sbin/Rsh, /usr/bin/sh,
/usr/bin/Rsh)
. cd /usr/local/adm/patch/C970122-77/970408/patch_kit
. ./dupatch (DUV32GAS00001-19970328)
. 5 (Patch Baseline
Analysis/adjustment)
. y (proceed?)
. /usr/local/adm/patch/C970122-77/970408/patch_kit (path)
. y (mark V3.2G Patch 0117.00 as
installed)
  MARKED AS INSTALLED:
 OSFPAT00011700375 V3.2G Patch 0117.00 - sh and rsh Command
Corrections
. n (don't enable libsecurity.so patch install)
. q (quit)
. sync
. reboot

Also thanks to Brian O'Connor b.oconnor_at_latrobe.edu.au for pointing out my
typo in the size of /sbin/sh:

> -rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 2293376 Jul 24 1995 sh

should have been

> -rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 229376 Jul 24 1995 sh
