Accessing Solaris Patches

You can access Solaris patches from a web page or by using anonymous ftp. If you have purchased a Sun service contract, you can get patches directly from the SunSolve web page.

To access patches from a web page, you need a system that is:

• Connected to the Internet

• Capable of running web browsing software such as Netscape

To access patches by anonymous ftp, you need a machine that is:

• Connected to the Internet

• Capable of running the ftp program

Access patches from SunSolve^TM by using the following URL:

You can either install a patch cluster of recommended patches or individual patches that are freely available. Patch reports are available also.
