Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
 
For Solaris 2.0-2.6 releases, refer to the Install.info file and/or
the README within the patch for instructions on using the generic
'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided with each patch.
 
For Solaris 7-9 releases, refer to the man pages for instructions
on using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts provided with Solaris.
Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be
described below as special instructions.  The following example
installs a patch to a standalone machine:
 
       example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02
 
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
 
       example# patchrm 104945-02
 
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.

Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
 
Reboot the system while in single user mode after patch installation.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) commands may break after installing patch
 108827-15 or greater.
 - After installation of 108827-15 or greater, a subset of VxVM commands
   may produce error messages which contain the text "referenced symbol
   not found".
 
   For example:
   # vxlicense -c
   ld.so.1: vxlicense: fatal: relocation error: file /etc/vx/slib/libnsl.so.1:
   symbol _libc_register_forkhandler: referenced symbol not found
   Killed
 
   The workaround is to add "usr/lib" to environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH
   before running the VERITAS commands.  The full workaround is documented
   in SunAlert document 42797.  VERITAS has committed to fix this problem
   in the next VxVM 3.1.1 and 3.2 patch releases.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   Native LDAP Phase 2 to Solaris 8
   ================================
 
   a) ldapclient -f certificatepath option is non-functional
 
      If using ldapclient -P, the default certificate path (/var/ldap)
      will always be used.
 
      The -f certificatepath option will report an error.
 
      The workaround is to copy your certificate db's to /var/ldap.
 
   b) ldapaddent: does not function with tls specified
 
      You cannot use ldapaddent with tls at present. If you wish to
      protect the data sent to ldapaddent, you must either run ldapaddent
      on the server running the ldapserver that you will write the data to.
      (You must make the ldap server a client of itself to do this - which
      is not a supported configuration.) Alternately, you can use ipsec
      or a private network.
 
The following patches can be installed to obtain further documentation
and man pages:
 
     114256-01 (or greater)       Documentation
     108809-43 (or greater)       Man Pages
 
Special NOTE:
 
     During patchadd, before the /etc/pam.conf file is changed, a copy of
     the current version is saved as /etc/pam.conf.pre<patchid>. If the
     patch is removed, the existing /etc/pam.conf file is copied to
     /etc/pam.conf.<patchid> and then the previous version is restored
     to /etc/pam.conf from the existing /etc/pam.con.pre<patchid> file.
 
     The method of restoring the file is not supported if the following
     action(s) occur:
 
     1) /etc/pam.conf is changed after the patch has been installed.
     2) The same rev of the patch is installed more than once.

		4411880 NIS+ cannot handle file descriptors > 1024
		4411929 Inter-record timeout for non-blocking COTS RPC results
 			in early disconnects
 
		one also needs to install the usr/sbin/rpc.nisd patch,
		110512-03 (or greater).
 
	NOTE 8: To get the complete fix for 4394576, please also install the

        NOTE 9: When responding to the question:
 
                 Do you wish to continue this installation {yes or no} [yes]?
	  	 (by default, installation will continue in 60 seconds)
 
                 A 'kill <pid>' is shown when the default behavior is
                 specified (e.g. yes).  This is harmless.
 
        NOTE 10: The fix for 4614041 involves a dependency on
                 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh which is delivered in the optional
                 package SUNWxcu4. To ensure that libc functions
                 correctly, this package is automatically installed on
                 the user's system if it does not exist. The stream
                 formatted base FCS SUNWxcu4 package included with this
                 patch is  "SUNWxcu4.stream.pkg".

                 113416-01 (or greater) GNU gettext patch
 
	NOTE 13: To get the complete feature for Solaris 8 PPP 4.0, one
                 also needs to install the following packages from the
                 Solaris 8 Update 5 (07/01) Release:
 
                 SUNWpppd        (Solaris PPP Device Drivers)
                 SUNWpppdr       (Solaris PPP configuration files)
                 SUNWpppdu       (Solaris PPP daemon and utilities)
                 SUNWpppg        (GNU utilities for PPP)
                 SUNWpppgS       (Source for the GNU utilities for PPP)
 
	NOTE 14: To get the complete support for PPP over Ethernet,
		 please also install the new package
 
		 SUNWpppdt (Solaris PPP Tunneling)
 
		 from Solaris 8 Update 6 (10/01) Release and the
		 following patch:
 
		 108965-06 (or greater) /usr/sbin/snoop patch
 
	NOTE 15: To get the complete fix for 4392250 ("passwd -r nis
                 -e user " causes rpc.yppasswdd down.), one also needs
                 to install the rpc.yppasswdd patch 111597-02 (or greater).
 
        NOTE 16: To get the complete security fix for 4668699 (buffer
                 overflow in dbm_open), one also needs to install the
                 libdbm patch (or greater).
 
        NOTE 17: The fix for 4506972 included in 108993-18 and 108994-18
                 changed the behavior of some commands such as cron(1M),
                 rcp(1) and OpenSSH for locked accounts.  Accounts which have
                 been locked (via the 'passwd -l' command) contain the
                 string "*LK*" in the password field of the shadow(4) file.
                 Users with locked accounts were no longer able to execute
                 cron jobs successfully or issue rcp(1) commands with .rhosts
                 files for example. This changed behavior has been backed out
                 and the original behavior of affected commands such as
                 cron(1), rcp(1), and OpenSSH has been restored with the fix
                 for 4923449 which is included in 108993-30 and 108994-30
                 and newer revisions of these patches.
 
                 Solaris 9 and future releases will keep the fix for 4506972
                 and the new behavior of locked accounts for commands such
                 as cron(1M), rcp(1), and OpenSSH will remain.
