I need assistance, being a newbie to Solaris, I'm unsure on how to install the following patch.

Can anyone help me?...Here is the patch attributes i'm looking to install

/var/tmp/105284-47.tar.Z.

I have su permmisions and its Solaris 2.6.

Thanks to anyone who can provide assistance.


 
Hi,

you first have to uncompress that file:
Code:
cd /var/tmp
uncompress 105284-47.tar.Z

and untar it:
Code:
tar xf 105284-47.tar

that should give you a directory /var/tmp/105284-47

apply the patch using the patchadd command (see man patchadd)
Code:
patchadd /var/tmp/105284-47

you can check installed patches using the showrev -p command

ciao
 
That did it for me.....Thank You very much for your help
