The hot fix package that is downloaded is in compressed tar format.  The name 
of the tar file is 82ih19lx.tar.Z, and it contains the following files:

      * objspawn.82ih19
             the replacement other containing the hot fix

      * objspawn
             a link to objspawn.82ih19

      * saspelsk.82ih19
             the replacement executable containing the hot fix

      * saspelsk
             a link to saspelsk.82ih19

      * 82ih19lx.aud
             a hot fix identifier file that will allow Technical Support
             to determine which fixes have been applied to a system

      * 82ih19lx.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/82ih19lx.tar  |  tar -xf -


STEP 2:
Once the tar command is complete, the following line must be added as the 
first line of the !SASROOT/sasv8.cfg file:

      -path !SASROOT/hotfix/sasexe

Do not modify any existing -PATH options in the !SASROOT/sasv8.cfg file.


STEP 3:
Change the ownership (using the chown command) and permissions (using
the chmod command) on the files in the !SASROOT/hotfix/sasexe directory 
to match the ownership and permissions on the files in the 
!SASROOT/sasexe directory.


STEP 4:
The tar command will extract the file objspawn.82ih19 into the 
!SASROOT/utilities/bin directory.  To replace the current objspawn 
executable follow these steps (assuming you are still in the 
/usr/lib/sas8 directory).

      $> cd utilities/bin 
     
      $> chown myuserid objspawn 

        [where myuserid is a non-root userid]

      $> chmod 755 objspawn 

      $> mv objspawn objspawn.TS2M0

      $> mv objspawn.82ih19 objspawn


If the file objspawn.TS2M0 already exists, skip the first mv command.


STEP 5:
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 objspawn

      $> chmod 4755 objspawn

      $> exit



This completes the installation of hot fix 82IH19 on Linux.
