Checking LOGINOUT.EXE for hackers-patches
-----------------------------------------
On the VMS 4.4 distribution tape I located LOGINOUT.EXE in
the saveset REQUIRED.
On the VMS 4.5 distribution tape I found LOGINOUT.VUP in
the saveset VMS045.B.
I copied the files to an empty work directory and tried
to patch my private copy of LOGINOUT.EXE. Well, that didn't
work at all. Using the command
$ PATCH LOGINOUT.VUP
resulted in the message:
%PATCH-F-BADIDENT, unable to patch image with ident of R4
Question number one:
Obviously I gave the wrong command or some editing
in LOGINOUT.VUP is necessary?
Ok, suppose I succeeded at last and I have a brand-new
fresh unhacked LOGINOUT.EXE.
Question number two:
Is there a good way to compare this file with our suspected
cluster-wide LOGINOUT.EXE?
Perhaps the command DIFFERENCE/MODE=HEXADECIMAL or is there
a better way?
