For the Solaris 8 2/02 release, be aware that SSP Patch 112178-01 has been applied to the SSP 3.5 software. This patch fixes bug 4505031, which involves the repeated display of a prompt that asks whether the system is to be configured as an SSP for the Sun Enterprise 10000 server. This prompt appears after the installation of the Solaris operating environment. The patch does not affect basic SSP 3.5 software functionality.
