Operating Systems Solaris How to determine most recent Solaris 8 patch? Post 53990 by stringman on Thursday 29th of July 2004 04:19:38 PM

rhfrommn,

Thanks. I was able to determine the most recent patch using SunSolve and the grep commandas you suggested. Although, I can't just apply any patch bundle because security settings may get reset or part of the patch may not take due to existing security settings. The machines are locked down quite well using AFDI.

izy100,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't have internet connectivity on any machines. I must go to a computer off my network to gain Internet access. I guess I will have to manually check for updates.
