Friends,
I recently resolved a problem through this list for installing PK8 to
4.0F.
Moving on to a second system (also 4.0F) however showed different problems.
I removed all the so-called 'CSP' patches in readiness for the kit (as I had
on my first machine). Now his time the baseline process displayed a lot of
problems in the stage where it checks for files 'changed or from unknown
sources'.
It picked up dozens of files from all the standard system
areas - /usr/lbin, /sbin, /sys/BINARY,
/usr/bin, /usr/ccs, /usr/lib, /usr/sbin
These were all determined as causing problems for Patch 1493 (security
patch).
I decided to bite the bullet and enable the patch anyway since I have
definitely *not* changed
all those files. Thankfully the whole patchkit installed as it should!
I can only think that these files were picked up because I recovered the
root filesystem from a vdump backup earlier this year when the system disk
went pear-shaped. I did a standard vrestore from tape to recover the disk.
Has anyone else seen this effect?
It's not urgent - but I'm interested to know why. I'll summarise.
Cheers
Lindsay
