Description

Adds recognition of AIX 5 and convertion routies for this
OS when collecting and converting accounting data.
This is an update of patch 218 with additional bugfixes.
Note that the server needs to have patch 219 installed or
monips will still not work on aix 5.

This patch also includes patch 227 since there were overlapping
files.

Included description from 227:
On some installations, it is a problem for the OpeniT client to create
temporary lock-files, e.g with regards to file permissions over NFS-mounted
filesystems. This patch makes the client avoid using lock-files, since it is
deemed very unlikely that more than one ananlysis run of a LSF-file will be
active at any given time.

This patch should be applied to Accounting clients that either collect LSF
or run on AIX 5.

Patch 227 — Removes file-locking releated to data collection for LSF-accounting
On some installations, it is a problem for the OpeniT client to create temporary
lock-files, e.g with regards to file permissions over NFS-mounted filesystems. This
patch makes the client avoid using lock-files, since it is deemed very unlikely that
more than one ananlysis run of a LSF-file will be active at any given time.

This patch should be applied to Accounting clients that collect LSF data and
where you wish to avoid having the client create remporary lock-files in the
directory where the LSF-accounting source-file is located.
Patch 218 — Client side support for AIX 5.x
