Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
 
tar.gz Patch Installation:
--------------------------
 
   See the patch installation instructions below before installing this
   patch!
 
   Patches in 'tar.gz' format cannot be installed with 'patchadd' on Solaris
   systems. The patch is installed by unpacking the 'tar.gz' file(s) in this
   directory in <install_dir>. <install_dir> is usually your <sge_root>
   directory. The installation of this patch later is not visible with the
   "showrev -p" command on Solaris.
 
   This patch cannot be backed out. You may want to make a backup copy of the
   files  before installing this patch since the files will be overwritten.
 
   Please read "Install Instructions" later in this file and carry out all
   steps before you unpack the 'tar.gz' file(s) included in this patch.
 
   This patch in 'tar.gz' format should not be installed if the original
   package has been installed with 'pkgadd' on Solaris. If the original 
   installation used packages ('pkgadd') utility, install the available 
   patches for N1 Grid Engine 6; refer to the patch matrix below.
 
   The patch is installed by user root by unpacking the file(s) in the
   directory where the original package has been installed:
 
      # cd <install_dir>
      # gzip -dc <patchid>/<targzfile> | tar xvpf -
 
   After installing the patch, you should correct the file permissions if
   your Sun Grid Engine installation is installed as an "admin user" system:
 
      # cd <sge_root>
      # util/setfileperm.sh <sge_root>
