****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
* AT the 7300-03 aix levels reads from snapshots may be
* slower.
* As an example, prior to TL3, the backup software was able

* 100Mb/s.
* Starting with TL3 the speeds are in the range of 20Mb/s.
* This can be reproduced by scp to another host (writing
* to /dev/null) or simply copying from the mounted snap
* filesystem to a local /dev/null.

****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
* Due to a code change that will sometimes utilize a
* module's method_getgracct function, running a command
* such as 'id ' may not show
* the full group membership for the user. 'at' jobs will
* fail also.
* This APAR will provide a fix for older modules like GSA
* that do not have a method_getgracct function defined.
* This fix will not help with any 3rd-party modules which
* do have a method_getgracct function defined, but do not
* return correct results when it is called. In that case,
* a fix will need to be obtained from the
* appropriate vendor.
