 B. Recommended solution

**REVISED 10**
   Note: If the preliminary patches, PHNE_28929.depot or
         PHNE_28930.depot have been installed, they must
         be removed with swremove before installing the
         general release patches PHNE_28982 (11.00) or
         PHNE_28983 (11.11) or subsequent.

    Remove the preliminary patches with swremove
   if they are on the system:

      PHNE_28929.depot          #B.11.00
     PHNE_28930.depot          #B.11.11


     Install the appropriate patches.

          B.10.20 - PHCO_26158
         B.11.00 - PHNE_28982
         B.11.00 - PHCO_28480
         B.11.11 - PHNE_28983
         B.11.11 - PHCO_28481
-->      B.11.22 - PHNE_29449

 --> In addition download and install the appropriate
--> library files for B.11.04 and B.11.22 as described
--> below.

      #mv libnsl.1.new libnsl.1
     #mv libnsl.a.new libnsl.a

      After this, any applications that use libnsl.1 must be
     restarted.  Any applications that use libnsl.a must
     be relinked and restarted.
     Any applications that use libc.1 must be restarted.

      Rebooting is the recommended way to restart the applications
     using libnsl.1 or libc.1.

      For B.11.22
     ====================================
-->  Install PHNE_29449 or subsequent and:

      #DIR=[path to new files]
     #cd /usr/lib
     #cp $DIR/libc.1 libc.1.new
     #chmod 555 libc.1.new
     #chown bin:bin libc.1.new
     #mv libc.1 libc.1.orig
     #mv libc.1.new libc.1

      After this, any applications that use libnsl.so.1 must be
     restarted.

      Rebooting is the recommended way to restart the applications
     using libnsl.1 or libc.1.

    To -gain access- to the Security Patch Matrix, select
   the link for "The Security Bulletins Archive".  (near the
   bottom of the page)  Once in the archive the third link is
   to the current Security Patch Matrix. Updated daily, this
   matrix categorizes security patches by platform/OS release,
   and by bulletin topic.  Security Patch Check completely
   automates the process of reviewing the patch matrix for
   11.XX systems.  Please note that installing the patches
   listed in the Security Patch Matrix will completely
   implement a security bulletin _only_ if the MANUAL ACTIONS
   field specifies "No."

    The Security Patch Check tool can verify that a security
   bulletin has been implemented on HP-UX 11.XX systems providing
   that the fix is completely implemented in a patch with no
   manual actions required.  The Security Patch Check tool cannot
   verify fixes implemented via a product upgrade.
