If you have not used the cryptoadm command to enable FIPS-140 support
in snv_124 or afterward, you can safely discard this heads-up.

The FIPS-140 mode setting was originally kept in /etc/crypto/kcf.conf.
With my recent integration to snv_128 for CR 6897371, this setting is
now saved in a different configuration file.

If you've enabled FIPS-140 support before snv_128 and then bfu'ed
to snv_128 (or later), the cryptosvc service will not start because
of the old FIPS status in kcf.conf.

To fix this, edit /etc/crypto/kcf.conf, removing the line starting
with "fips-140:", and reboot.

The bfu script will be updated soon to handle this automatically.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hai-May
