Upgrading to SKIP V1.5B

The following information applies when upgrading to SunScreen SKIP 1.5B from earlier versions of the product.

Preserving Configuration Files

If you are upgrading from a previous release of SKIP to SKIP 1.5, be aware that you are limited as to the configuration files you can preserve. At the present time, you cannot use an acl.<interface_name> file from a previous version of SKIP as it will contain incorrect commands.

Documentation Error

The "Upgrading From Earlier SKIP Versions" instructions in the User's Guide for SKIP1.5 RevB are not correct if you are upgrading from SKIP 1.5. They tell you to remove any version of SKIP for Solaris, by finding packages using this command:

pkginfo | grep SICG

As of SKIP 1.5, there are no more SICG packages. Therefore the correct command in this instance would be:

pkginfo | grep -i
skip

Upgrading Cryptography Modules

The following table provides information about the packages you need if you want to add additional cryptography modules to your configuration. For example, SunScreen EFS 3.0 ships with the Global version of SKIP which only contains the RC2 and RC4(x) Crypto modules. To add additional modules, for example DES, you must take some care to install only the packages you need. Please see the following table for more information.

Note -

The End System SKIP modules (SUNWes and SUNWesx) should not be added to a SunScreen EFS 3.0 screen.
