Gatelings & Build machine maintainers -

If you do not plan on using IPsec on Huron based machines,
you may disregard this message.

Action required if you want a functioning activation file for IPsec:
* build using the -t option or
* upgrade the build macine to snv_53 or higher.

The Huron project integration on 22 November 2006 represents the
first use of the functionality introduced by

  PSARC 2003/627 Retail/nonretail status for Solaris Cryptographic Framework.

by anything in the ON gate (previous uses were all for unbundled
products on top of S10).

This functionality did not work in Nevada, due to:

  6489058 elfsign generates bogus activation files

Which was introduced in snv_17 and I fixed in snv_53.

If you do not perform one of the above workarounds, you
will find that IPsec is not being accelerated by the hardware
and if you try to verify the module manually, you will get
an error like:

ryoga-54% elfsign verify -e ./dprov
elfsign: Unable to verify .esa contents
elfsign: verification of ./dprov passed, but restricted.
