DB2 sys-auth 3.0.0.27 released
Sun, 10 May 2009
Bugs fixed:
- Backups were failing because the forked child had a copy of the parent's file handles. The outcall request took a while, during which time having the handles open lead to backups unable to obtain exclusive access and failing.
- On Linux, use getgrouplist instead of getgrent. This means a Samba/winbind setup that doesn't advertise to the grent interface still gets the user's groups.
- Stop thread-unsafe behavior between fork and exec, this prevents hangs seen doing a large number of grants.
Changes:
- Debug now goes to /tmp/sys-auth.debug. Syslog is no longer used. Conf file/setting is the same as before, just 0/1 is no debug, 2+ is all debug.

A new release of the DB2 system authentication plugin is available. This is a highly recommended update for anyone using versions 3.0.0.15 to 3.0.0.17. Those versions could allow unauthorized access due to the v9.5 signal handler removal change. This has been fixed.
db2_sys-auth 3.0.0.17 available
Sun, 8 Mar 2009
A new release of the DB2 system authentication plugin is available. This is a recommended upgrade for any customer using DB2 v9.5. There is a known incompatibility with DB2 v8.5 and v9.1.

Changes:
- Install script/doc re-written to be easier to follow.
- Fixed install_dash.sh not working.
- Fixed install.sh and install_das not working on Solaris.
- On AIX, when running ./install.sh <instance owner>, LAM is now the default.
- Now works with the AIX LDAP module as a user/group backend.
- Fixed auth/groups failure under load (threading bug)
