Problem:
In order to allow existing customers to take advantage of improvements to NSD
in their current environments, IBM has made available an updated version of NSD
for existing versions of Domino on W32, AIX, Solaris, and Linux. The NSD
Update Strategy means that IBM will periodically provide an NSD Update with the
latest set of NSD fixes/enhancements for existing versions of Domino. This is
done so that IBM Support and customers can leverage the latest fixes and
enhancements for First Failure data collection.

The newer version of NSD uses a special NSD Update installer designed to
function with existing/future hotfixes. Customers can run the NSD Update to
install NSD on top of existing hotfixes and install hotfixes on top of existing
NSD updates (*see special note), Customers can download the newest version of
NSD from the web at the following URL:

Technote #4013182 - http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24013182

*Special Note - A small number of hotfixes contain specialized NSD fixes. If
your existing hotfix contains NSD/Memcheck fixes, please do not install the NSD
Update and contact support to have a combined hotfix built with the latest NSD
updates. To determine if your existing hotfix contains specialized NSD fixes,
run the Hotfix installer with the "-contents" parameter and check if the file
with the name NSD or Memcheck i.e. 655HF100_W32.exe -contents

In order to implement this strategy, NSD now has additional version information
for NSD. This new version information includes:

Version of Domino for which NSD is built
Date/Time for the build of NSD
Date/Time of Last Code change for NSD (on W32 only)

This version information can be found in the header of the NSD log file in the
newer versions of NSD. When confirming whether or not a server is running an
updated version of NSD, the most important information to examine is the Build
Time of NSD/Memcheck (below in bold). Below is a sample excerpt from the NSD
header for both W32 and Unix (you can also obtain the build information on W32
with the command "nsd -fullver"):

W32 Sample

Debugger : /usr/proc/bin/pstack
Debugger Version: Standard
MEMCHECK Version: Memcheck Version: 6.5.5.2305

Below is a list of the relevant SPRs for NSD, with an indication as to which
version the fix is available, as well as the date of the NSD Update Build that
contains the fix for existing versions of Domino. These updates are cumulative;
for instance NSD Build 2382 contains all the fixes from 2284 and 2176. To ease
the navigation of these fix lists, a series of anchor links is provided, with
the most recent fixes listed first.
