Greetings,
I have a few boxes running 4.0G, working perfectly....
never patched, not critical....and am trying to figure
out where its worth the effort to start patching them
now from the ground up ...ie. patchkit#3, and all
security releases after that, which brings the
following questions::

Requesting brief info on the following:

1. How to disable automatic sendmail upgrade when
performing system update install (eg. 4.0f -> 4.0G or
4.0G ->5.1
Got a nice sendmail setup i wouldn't like to disturb.

2.
ECO Name: T64V40GB17-C0009303-12856-E-20020115.tar
Kit Applies To: Tru64 UNIX 4.0G with PK3 (BL17)
installed

With such a statement above ( i see these all the
time), does it mean, if say i am running 4.0G with NO
aggregate patch kits installed at all (in this case
kit#3), i am not affected?
Or, I am affected, but can only apply the fix on top
of patch kit described (in this case #3)? [guess this
is the answer]

3. Agregate patch kits are almost a mandatory,
regardless of whether what they describe to fix
pertains 2 you or not?
Would you agree that its generally a good idea to keep
pace with all agregate patch kits (and individual
security kits -YES), even when system is running
flawlessly?

4. is the release date for aggregate patchkit #4
(4.0G) known? maybe i could wait on these....?
