  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Add support to the __passwd() syscall to include the         *
  * caller's Port of Entry IP address in the LOGSTR parameter    *
  * when calling SAF to authenticate the user.                   *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  For the  __passwd() service, if an IP address is available in
  the callers Port of Entry data it will be included in the LOGSTR
  parameter when calling SAF. The security product will included
  the LOGSTR data in SMF Type80 records it writes. Including the
  IP address in SMF Type 80 records improves logging and auditing
  of users for system security administrators.
