I. Until a product upgrade is available, download and install
the BIND920ver3.depot.
1. Download BIND920ver3.depot.gz from the ftp site.
This file is temporary and will be deleted when a
product upgrade is available from itrc.hp.com.
System: hprc.external.hp.com (192.170.19.51)
Login: bind
Password: bind1
FTP Access: ftp://bind:bi...@hprc.external.hp.com/
or: ftp://bind:bi...@192.170.19.51/
file: BIND920ver3.depot.gz
Note: There is an ftp defect in IE5 that may result in
a browser hang. To work around this:
- Select Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced
- Un-check the option: [ ] Enable folder view for FTP sites
2. Copy the BIND920ver3.depot.gz file to a protected
directory and unpack it.
If you wish to verify the md5 sum please refer to:
HPSBUX9408-016
Patch sums and the MD5 program
The md5 sum for BIND920ver3.depot is:

3. Install BIND920ver3.depot using swinstall.
II. Until a product upgrade is available, download and install
the upgrade_bind812_v4.depot for 11.00. The instructions
for BIND920ver3.depot above apply.

Note: On 10.20 the DNS API is contained in libc. Programs
which make DNS calls and are linked with libc.a
must be relinked. So far as is known HP delivers
no such programs.
Programs which are linked with ".a" libraries
are statically linked.
Statically linked programs may be tested as follows:
strings -a suspect_program | grep "Too many addresses (%d)"
If the program contains the string it may make
DNS API calls and should be relinked with the
fixed version of libc.a.
