Re: [MLUG] Re: Solaris patches for DST 2007 issue

["Bryan Venable" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

According to section 5 (Resolution) of this page:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-102775-1

You need these two patches for Solaris 8 on SPARC:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=urn:cds:docid:1-21-109809-06-1
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=urn:cds:docid:1-21-108993-52-1

You have to register for a SunSolve account to get them, but you don't
need a support contract.
