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:  It is necessary to restart sendmail after the patch
         installation in order to be running with the latest
         version of sendmail included in this patch.  Execute
         the following commands as root.
 
         # /etc/init.d/sendmail stop
         # /etc/init.d/sendmail start
 
NOTE 2:  If you have not modified the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and
         /etc/mail/submit.cf files, then the patch installation
         will overwrite these files with the new versions.
 
         If you no longer wish to use the default configuration
         then refer to the /usr/lib/mail/README file on how to
         customize these files.
 
         Review the contents of /etc/mail to determine if any
         config files added by this patch need to be merged with
         existing config files.
