The CR is 6733759. The affected binaries are /usr/openwin/bin/{Xsun|Xprt|Xnest}
and /usr/X11/bin/lbxproxy. The bug is that the runtime library paths in these
objects refers to a Sun-internal build system, so if you try to execute these
binaries then the automounter will try to access that system. On SWAN it might
work, but from 5500 miles away it'll take a while and there's no knowing what
will happen when a new build replaces the libraries at that location. Outside
SWAN the mount is extremely unlikely to work and the program will refuse to
run.
You can see the broken runpath by running:
$ elfedit -r -e dyn:runpath /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun
index tag value
[47] RUNPATH 0x10948
/net/paravon/export/x-re/build/milestone/NV/BIWEEKLY_X_NV_X86/open-src/app/lbxproxy/../../../proto-i386-svr4/usr/X11/lib:/usr/X11/lib
[48] RPATH 0x10948
/net/paravon/export/x-re/build/milestone/NV/BIWEEKLY_X_NV_X86/open-src/app/lbxproxy/../../../proto-i386-svr4/usr/X11/lib:/usr/X11/lib
You can repair it (after stashing a safe copy of the original binary somewhere,
just in case, taking care to preserve the file ownerships and permissions) by
running:
$ elfedit -e 'dyn:runpath /usr/X11/lib' /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun
Xsun is the binary that SRSS needs, unless you're running 4.1 beta and
have elected to use Xnewt rather than Xsun. If you use the other programs
then the repair is the same, use 'elfedit' to replace the executable's runpath
with one that doesn't contain the /net/paravon/... path.
