Problem Description: 

 4138557 - Customer wants to change user's mainframe password from Network 
           Client.  Patch adds function to read $snc_sync.cmd file from 
           Solstice\etc directory after the NT and UNIX passwords are changed.
           SNC will execute the command line contained in $snc_sync.cmd. SNC
           passes the username, old password and new password as arguments
           to the command line.  This change has no affect if the $snc_sync
           file doesn't exist, password sync. is not enabled or the NT or 
           UNIX password change fails.
 4168206 - SNC cannot change the NIS/NIS+ password on an NT system when password
           synchronization and NT password aging are enabled and the NT password
           expires.
