Dear SCO Customer,

        Here is the Support Level Supplement (SLS)
        ptf7084 - UnixWare 7 libnsl supplement


Problems Fixed
--------------

        Fix to libnsl to support gratuitous arp.  ptf7010 is required to
        actually implement gratuitous arp.

And new in SLS ptf7084b:-

Corrected  yp_match() to avoid getting stuck in an infinite sleep loop 
when NIS is configured and gethostbyname() is called with a long name
(rejects keys longer than YPMAXRECORD). 

Contents
--------

        /usr/lib/libnsl_i.so
