INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOT FIX 82BC43 ON SOLARIS 64 BIT BEFORE DOWNLOADING: The hot fix 82BC43 addresses the issue(s) in Release 8.2 (TS2M0) of Base SAS software on Solaris 64 bit as documented in SAS Note(s): SN-004892 Long encrypted message can cause errors in spawner SN-010951 SAS/CONNECT client times out or fails to authenticate when supplying valid credentials to UNIX SAS Job Spawner SN-011433 SAS/CONNECT Spawner & Client session "hang" after executing erroneous code SN-004201 Potential security exposure for sites that have installed the spawner programs (objspawn or sastcpd) which may be reviewed at: http://support.sas.com/techsup/unotes/SN/004/004892.html http://support.sas.com/techsup/unotes/SN/010/010951.html http://support.sas.com/techsup/unotes/SN/011/011433.html http://support.sas.com/techsup/unotes/SN/004/004201.html The hot fix package that is downloaded is in compressed tar format. The name of the tar file is 82bc43s6.tar.Z, and it contains the following files: * sastcpd.82bc43 the replacement executable containing the hot fix * 82bc43s6.aud a hot fix identifier file that will allow Technical Support to determine which fixes have been applied to a system * 82bc43s6.txt a copy of these installation instructions; this file is installed in !SASROOT/hotfix/doc IMPORTANT NOTE(S): 1. You must have Release 8.2 (TS2M0) installed on your system before applying this hot fix. AFTER DOWNLOADING: The following instructions describe the steps for installing the files listed above. In this example, !SASROOT, the directory where Release 8.2 (TS2M0) is installed, is: /usr/lib/sas8 STEP 1: Assuming the tar file is downloaded to the user's HOME directory, follow these procedures to install the package. $> cd /usr/lib/sas8 $> uncompress -c $HOME/82bc43s6.tar | tar -xf - STEP 2: The tar command will extract the file sastcpd.82bc43 into the !SASROOT/utilities/bin directory. To replace the current sastcpd executable follow these steps (assuming you are still in the /usr/lib/sas8 directory). $> cd utilities/bin $> chown myuserid sastcpd [where myuserid is a non-root userid] $> chmod 755 sastcpd $> mv sastcpd sastcpd.TS2M0 $> mv sastcpd.82bc43 sastcpd STEP 3: Last, in order to authenticate a client’s identity and check the client’s authority to access resources, some setup is required by the root account. This setup changes the setuid permissions of file in !SASROOT/utilities/bin to root. This can be accomplished by executing the following commands: $> su root $> cd !SASROOT/utilities/bin $> chown root sastcpd $> chmod 4755 sastcpd $> exit This completes the installation of hot fix 82BC43 on Solaris 64 bit.
