After several enlightening replies from Alex Madden
<Alex.Madden@betfair.com>, Christophe Dupre <duprec@score.rpi.edu>, and
Albert White <albert.white@gmail.com>, I've found the set of patches which
comprise Solaris 9's Maintenance Update 5. As my esteemed colleagues have
pointed out, Sun no longer offers Maintenance Updates (bummer). The MUs'
purpose was to offer the opportunity to apply some or all of the patches
contained in a given Solaris release--without applying the entire OS
release. The main advantage of applying patches is that they can be backed
out--unlike an OS update.
Thanks to Christophe Dupre and Albert White for finding the stash of MU
packages (http://sunsolve.sun.com/private-cgi/show.pl?target=archmus,
stopping at MU4 :-).
Albert White wins the Persistence Aware for also finding the list of MU5
patches (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-2706/6mibobb5p?a=view), and
for recommending Patch Manager (
http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=40c8c2ad) to get/install all
476 of the little buggers.
Honorable mention to Kevin Shaw <Kevin.Shaw@CAX.USA.XEROX.com> for
volunteering his personal expertise (and currently running setup) with
Solaris 9, Oracle, and Network Appliance.
