Information for DEC Unix / OSF1

The patches for V3.2c, 3.2d-1, 3.2d-2, 3.2e-1 and 3.2e-2 were incorrect, and fixed just after I downloaded them from DEC. The new versions are here now, and should apply properly

Thanks to the 15 or so people that let me know the patches were out - sorry I didn't list you all, but I'd spend all day updating this page if I did...

How to tell if you machine has been crashed by the Ping o'Death

# cd /var/adm/crash
# egrep 'icmp_send|icmp_reflect' crash-data. 

To apply the updated o-files, .c and .h files, do the following:
	
  - Please place a copy of this README.patch_id into a directory called 
    /etc/patches for future reference on what patches are installed on this 
    machine as these patches will have to be removed before upgrading to 
    a newer version.
  - For Digital UNIX V4.0 binary files, please refer to the patch README and
    Appendix B for special installation instructions.
