General info
------------
     You will need to have a License PAK with a release date after the date of
  this PMDFSHR.EXE to run PMDF.  Note that this may apply to other images as 
  well.
          
     When FTPing these images, be sure to FTP them as binary images.  Before
  retrieving such an image with the GET command, be sure to put your FTP into
  binary mode with a command such as TYPE IMAGE or TYPE BINARY.

     If you are using the DIRSYNC product, you will need to fetch the newer
  images listed on the AA_DIRSYNC_PATCHES.HTML page.

Change history
---------------
28-Mar-2000
 Fixed a problem with no intrusion records on VMS 6.x with pop/imap login 
 failures.  This was broken on VMS around March 1999.

22-Mar-2000
  Added a new option for PMDF-MR called FROM_TO_REPLYTO which will copy From 
  information to the ReplyTo field when no ReplyTo information is available.


Installation
------------
OpenVMS

     Before installing a new PMDFSHR.EXE, issue the following command:
 
     $ PMDF SHUTDOWN DISPATCHER
 
     Failure to issue the above command could result in the current processes
  not recognizing commands (i.e., RESTART and SHUTDOWN) with the new
  PMDFSHR.EXE in place.

     PMDFSHR.EXE needs to be copied to the PMDF_EXE: directory and then
  installed with the command:

     $ INSTALL REPLACE PMDF_SHARE_LIBRARY

  on all members of the OpenVMS cluster running out of the affected PMDF
  directory tree.


     In some cases new versions of PMDFSHR.EXE may alter the format of compiled
  configurations. When this happens recompilation and reinstallation are also
  necessary:

     $ PMDF CNBUILD/OPTION
     $ INSTALL REPLACE PMDF_CONFIG_DATA

  The first command need only be done once on VAX and once on AXP; the latter
  must be done on every cluster member that runs PMDF. Failure to recompile and
  install the configuration after installing new versions of PMDFSHR.EXE may
  lead to "compiled configuration version mismatch" errors.

     Next, be sure to start the dispatcher by issuing the following command:
 
     $ PMDF STARTUP DISPATCHER


  Note:  If you are ftping PMDFSHR_Z.EXE image, which is a self-extracting
  compressed version of the PMDFSHR.EXE image, simply issue the following
  command:

     $ RUN PMDFSHR_Z.EXE

  to extract the file.  Then follow the instructions above for installing it.
