Patch-ID# 100407-09 Keywords: commands, corrupted, accounting, corrupt, finger, Synopsis: SunOS 4.1.1; 4.1.2; 4.1.3: accounting jumbo patch Date: Jan/14/94 SunOS release: 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3, 4.1.3C BugId's fixed with this patch: 1042248 1069434 1070431 1047705 1066375 1059412 1033692 1152893 Changes incorporated in this version: 1152893 Architectures for which this patch is available: sun4 (all), sun3 (all) Patches which may conflict with this patch: Obsoleted by: SVR4 Problem Description: Bugid 1042248 On a prdaily output, there is a strange uid entry of 65534 (nobody) that sometimes shows up, followed by some repeating of uids. The format of the data is suppose to be sorted uniquely by uid and login name. On rprt files that do not have the 65534 nobody entry, the uids do not repeat, which is correct. It seems that accounting records are corrupt when a nobody entry shows up. Bugid 1069434 The SysV accounting routine can generate negative values from a valid pacct file due to values being generated that overflow the range of a long variable type. This will only occur if a process is using a lot of system resource, i.e. running for a long period of time. Bugid 1070431 If users are logged in when runacct gets run, then their login entries in wtmp are not put back into the newly created wtmp. Bugid 1047705, 1066375 The accounting scripts which check for the amount of free space are looking at /usr in spite of the fact that the accounting data is in /var/adm. In particular, the ckpacct script will turn off accounting when the /usr partition gets full even if /var is empty Bugid 1059412 On systems with more than 128 tty lines, running connect accounting produces the message: acctcon1: RECOMPILE WITH LARGER A_TSIZE On systems with more than 1000 login sessions, running accounting produces the message: acctprc1: INCREASE A_SSIZE On systems with more than 500 logins, running accounting produces the message: acctprc2: INCREASE A_USIZE The source is not provided, so customers cannot do these things. This patch increases the tty line limit to 512 and the session limit to 4000, and the login ID limit to 4000. Bugid 1033692 acctcom command displays 0.00 for mean core size. Bugid 1152893 /usr/lib/acct/acctcon1 incorrectly calculates connection times.
