A. Background A recent bugtraq posting contained some inaccurate information regarding Hewlett-Packard Company's VirtualVault Operating System. This problem is not TGA nor TGP related; further, VVOS does not have a B1 or B2 level of certification. Under certain conditions, Netscape Enterprise Server (NES) fails to properly process web requests. This activity has been observed in the NES bundled with Praesidium VirtualVault releases A.02.00, A.03.00, A.03.01 and A.03.50. B. Fixing the problem This problem can be completely eliminated by applying the recommended patches mentioned above. It can be resolved temporarily by commenting out or removing the "vault-auth-log" AddLog line from the Netscape Enterprise Server's obj.conf file. Upon patching the system, automatic reboot is performed. The affected filesets are: VaultNES.NES-VAULT VaultTS.INES-COMMON. C.
