INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH
----------------------------
This patch fixes the following Symantec incidents:

Patch ID: HF050001960-13

* 3013488 (Tracking ID: 3001140)

SYMPTOM:
The managed host appears faulted on the VOM CMS with xprtld not 
running fault, even though xprtld is running on the mh.

DESCRIPTION:
The mh is not able to send ping requests to the CMS, hence the CMS 
raises the xprtld not running fault and marks the host as faulted.

RESOLUTION:
On certain Linux machines, the bind on the local port 5634 succeeds 
even though the port is already taken, and this was causing a failure on a 
loopback test that was issued.

This loopback check is no longer needed and has been removed, as the xprtld  
communication mechanism has been made asynchronous.
