Problem Description: 

	Using cpio as root on NFS mounted file systems may cause archives
	to become inaccessible. Because cpio will continue writing the
	archive, users may assume that other files from the archives
	can still be read.

	This is SunOS4.1.3_U1 version of the patch 4.1.3 patch #101663-01.

INSTALL:

	As root, make a backup copy of cpio:

	mv /usr/bin/cpio /usr/bin/cpio.fcs
	
	Now install the patched version of cpio:

	mv 4.1.3_U1/cpio /usr/bin/cpio
	chown root.staff /usr/bin/cpio
	chmod 755 /usr/bin/cpio
