General info
------------
     You will need to have a License PAK with a release date after the date of
  this libpmdf.so to run PMDF.  Note that this may apply to other images as 
  well.

     Patches may be obtained from the anonymous FTP account on
  ftp.pmdf.process.com.  Use FTP to connect to the host ftp.pmdf.process.com
  and login as the user anonymous.  Use your e-mail address as the login 
  password.

     Move to the pmdf_611_patches subdirectory:

        ftp> cd pmdf_611_patches

     Patches will be located in platform-specific sub-trees, as follows:

        Platform        Subdirectory
        --------        ------------
        OpenVMS         vms
        Solaris/SPARC   solaris-sparc
        Solaris/x86     solaris-x86
        Tru64           osf
        Windows NT      nt
        Windows 2000    w2k

     When FTPing these images, be sure to FTP them as binary images.  Before
  retrieving such an image with the GET command, be sure to put your FTP into
  binary mode with a command such as TYPE IMAGE or TYPE BINARY.


Change history
--------------
10-SEP-2003
  A potential denial-of-service vulnerability has been discovered. Process
  Software is not aware of any cases in which this vulnerability has been
  exploited. However, we recommend installing this patch to eliminate the
  vulnerability. (D/E 9193)

21-JAN-2003
  Fixed a problem that prevented PMDF from properly unbinding from the LDAP
  server. (D/E 8690)

25-APR-2002
  Fixed a problem with using the reverse database for address reversal. It was
  not being applied correctly to Envelope From: addresses. (D/E 8034)

28-MAR-2002
  Fixed a problem with the SIEVE body command not correctly finding the string
  it was searching for. (D/E 7920)


Installation
------------
OpenVMS

  Not applicable


Solaris, Tru64

    Before installing a new libpmdf.so, issue the following command:

        # pmdf shutdown

    Failure to issue the above command could result in the current processes
  not recognizing commands (i.e., restart and shutdown) with the new 
  libpmdf.so in place.

    To install the new shared library, place it into the /pmdf/lib/ directory
  and then execute the following commands:
        
        # chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/lib/libpmdf.so
        # chmod 755 /pmdf/lib/libpmdf.so

    In some cases new versions of libpmdf.so may alter the format of compiled
  configurations. When this happens recompilation is also necessary:
 
        # pmdf cnbuild

    Failure to recompile the configuration after installing new versions of 
  libpmdf.so may lead to "compiled configuration version mismatch" errors.

    Next, be sure to start PMDF by issuing the following command:

        # pmdf startup


Windows NT, Windows 2000

    Before installing a new libpmdf.dll, issue the following command:

      pmdf shutdown

    Failure to issue the above command could result in the current processes
  not recognizing commands (i.e., restart and shutdown) with the new
  libpmdf.dll in place.

    To install the new shared library, place it into the c:\pmdf\bin\
  directory.

    In some cases new versions of libpmdf.dll may alter the format of compiled
  configurations.  When this happens recompilation is necessary:

      pmdf cnbuild

    Failure to recompile the configuration after installing new versions of
  libpmdf.dll may lead to "compiled configuration version mismatch" errors.

    Next, be sure to start PMDF by issuing the following command:

      pmdf startup
