Subject: Flag-Day: build machine update required to build usr/closed/tools/elfsign - follow up


People running "update_kmf" on systems older than SNV_54 will
encounter a problem with the "id" command.  Support for the "-u" option
was only introduced to /usr/bin/id in build 54.

The fix is to explicitly use /usr/xpg4/bin/id instead.

Until I can get the official version in /ws/onnv-gate/public/bin updated
there are 2 ways to work around the problem.

1. make a local copy of the script and edit it yourself to change
the "id" command to be "/usr/xpg4/bin/id".

2. copy an updated version of the script from here:
/net/borg.sfbay/cube/builds/wyllys/nv/update_kmf

Again, this is only necessary if the system being updated is
older than build 54.

Sorry for the confusion.
