This tar file contains patches to fix the following problems
in IPv6 X5.2 for Digital UNIX:

    o The system may crash in arphasmbuf() or arptfree() during
      NFS operations.

    o The ping6 command did not include support for the -I switch.
      -I forces ping to send the request over a specific interface.

           ping6 -I le0 fe80::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx

Apply these patches to the IPv6 X5.2 kit only.  The X6.0 kit is
not compatible with these patches and already includes the fixes
for these problems.

The patches consist of two files, netinet.o and ping6. Install
these files as follows:

    # cp /usr/sys/BINARY/netinet.o /usr/sys/BINARY/netinet.o.save
    # cp /usr/tmp/ip6patch/netinet.o /usr/sys/BINARY/netinet.o
    # cp /usr/sbin/ping6 /usr/sbin/ping6.save
    # cp /usr/tmp/ip6patch/ping6 /usr/sbin/ping6

Rebuild the kernel (substitute SYSTEMNAME with your system's name):

    # doconfig -c SYSTEMNAME

Copy the kernel to /vmunix and reboot:

    # mv /vmunix /vmunix.save
    # cp /usr/sys/SYSTEMNAME/vmunix /vmunix
    # shutdown -r now
