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 7-10 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:
-----------------------------
 
NOTE 1:  Reboot the system while in single user mode after patch installation.
 
NOTE 2:  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.
 
NOTE 3:  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.
 
NOTE 4:  The following patches can be installed to obtain further documentation
         and man pages:
 
	 114256-01 (or greater)  Documentation
	 108809-43 (or greater)  Man Pages
 
NOTE 5:  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:
 
          a) /etc/pam.conf is changed after the patch has been installed.
          b) The same rev of the patch is installed more than once.

         install the following patch:
 
         112166-01 (or greater)  rpcgen patch
 
NOTE 12: 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 default behavior is specified 
         (e.g. yes).  This is harmless.
 
NOTE 13: 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 user's system if it does not exist. The stream
         formatted base FCS SUNWxcu4 package included with this patch
         is  "SUNWxcu4.stream.pkg".
 
NOTE 14: To get the complete fix for bugid 4691127 (possible type overflow
         in xdr_array), please also install the following patch:
 
	  108902-05 (or greater)  rpcmod patch

         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 17: 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 18: To get the complete fix for 4392250 ("passwd -r nis -e user " causes

         in dbm_open), please also install the following patch:
 
         114617-01 (or greater)  libdbm patch
 
NOTE 20: 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 '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 later 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.
 
NOTE 21: To get the complete fix for bugid 4503714 (rpc.nisd memory
         leaks and SEGVs), please also install the following patch:
 
         110270-02 (or greater)  /usr/lib/libnisdb.so.2 patch
 
NOTE 22: To get the complete fix for "U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005"
         which will change daylight saving time transition dates of
         United States timezones, beginning in 2007, please also install
         the following patch:
 
         109810-02 (or greater)  timezone data patch
 
         Solaris supports two types of timezones:  POSIX timezones and
         zoneinfo timezones.  This patch incorporates the fix for
         "U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005" for POSIX timezones, whereas
         patch 109810-02 incorporates the fix for "U.S. Energy Policy
         Act of 2005" for zoneinfo timezones.  In Solaris, the default
         transition dates for POSIX timezones (when the transition date
         is not specified) use U.S. rules.
 
         Note this patch does not include the fix for DST changes in 2006
         for Australia. Those fixes are in aforementioned Patch 109810-02,
         where the zoneinfo timezones for Australia are fixed.
 
NOTE 23: To get the complete fix for 4909247 (Solaris 8 Client has broken
         .rhosts authentication with patch 108993-21), the LDAP server must
         be Sun Java System Directory server 5.2 patch 4 or newer, and
         pam_ldap(5) must be used for account management. Then, in cases
         where there is no user authentication token (PAM_AUTHTOK) available,
         the pam_sm_acct_mgmt(3PAM) function from pam_ldap(5) tries to
         retrieve the user's account status without authenticating to the
         LDAP server as the user logging in.
