Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * Users using 11.50.xC8 and earlier using PAM authentication * * on non-Solaris platforms that support IPV6. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * Because the code that determines IPV6 support was not called * * properly at init time, it had to be called in each vp. * * In particular in the msc vp which is also used for PAM * * authentication. A thread doing PAM authentication could * * leave * * a pointer to data for that thread that has already exited * * causing the abend. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Upgrade to IDS 11.50.xC9 when available. * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
Added scb to list of values saved/restored by AIO main thread. Make sure that ifx_getOSAFFamily() is called to set global value before forking other vp's. Fixed in IDS 11.50.xC9.
