As expected the dire warning was a mistake.
quoting Tony Walton of Sun writing in comp.unix.solaris
This patch has now been reissued without the offending postpatch script,
which was left in place in error. I've compared the MD5 checksums of all
files in the previous 112233-08 (as downloaded by Martin on 6th Aug)
with the one now available and the only difference is that the postpatch
and postbackout scripts are no longer rhere - all binaries are the same.
If you've installed 112233-08 from 6th August, my advice would be
simply to remove the scary and erroneous "This is a temporary patch"
line from /etc/motd
-- Tony original post-- Installed Solaris9 kernel patch 112233-08 today. Now /etc/motd prints Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.9 Generic May 2002 Temporary Patch 112233-08 (Interim KU) built 06/23/03 is installed and needs to be backed out prior to installing any other patches No warning in the patch readme. Of course it was installed with fastpatch, so no backup. Hoping that Sun just forgot to remove this warning before releasing the patch. 112234-08 does the same for 9_x86 Bill _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers
