Recommended Patches
It is utterly necessary to patch your Solaris system, if you haven’t already done so. Have a look at the DFN CERT patch mirror at ftp://ftp.cert.dfn.de/pub/vendor/sun/patches or the original source from Sun at http://access1.sun.com/patch.recommended/rec.html. There may be a mirror closer to you; for example EUNet and FUNET have their own mirrors, if I am informed correctly.
Please remember to press the Shift button on your Netscape Navigator while selecting a link. If the patch is not loadable, a new release has probably appeared in the meantime. To verify this, have a look at the directories of DFN CERT or Sun. The README file on the DNF-CERT server is kept without a version number and thus always up to date:
- ip and ifconfig patch
103630-09 for Solaris 2.5.1 (README) 103169-12 for Solaris 2.5 (README)
- tcp patch (only with ip patches)
103582-15 for Solaris 2.5.1 (README) 103447-09 for Solaris 2.5(README)
Every system administrator should know the contents of Sun’s patch page. Besides previously mentioned patches for good TCP/IP performance, you should always consider the security-related patches. Also, Sun recommends a set of further patches to complete the support for large IP addresses. You should really include any DNS-related patch.
