Patches

All the patches included with the SEAM release are for Solaris^TM 2.6 SPARC^TM and Intel systems. Some of the patches incorporate fixes unrelated to SEAM. This is because the SEAM and non-SEAM fixes impact the same binary, and all the patches included are official.

All of these patches are required if you want to use Kerberos V5 security with NFS file systems and exports. If you are not using SEAM to secure the NFS file system, then the patches are not needed.

Solaris patches are numbered as XXXXXX-VV where XXXXXX is the patch base ID number, and VV is the version number. Typically the i386 patch base ID number is equal to the SPARC base ID number incremented by one.

Here is a list of all of the patches included with the SEAM 1.0 release. The SPARC patch IDs are listed first.

105472-04 / 105473-04 -- Without this fix, the automounter will crash when accessing NFS file systems that are mounted with Kerberos V5 security (that is, the NFS server is sharing the file system with sec= krb5, krb5i, or krb5p).

105564-03 / 105565-03 -- Without this fix, the chgrp command will not work on NFS file systems that are mounted with Kerberos V5 security.

105615-04 / 105616-04 -- Without this fix, you will not be able to successfully export NFS file systems from servers with a command like: share -o sec=krb5,rw=mpk16-labnets,ro=engineering /export/krb5. Less complex commands like: share -o sec=krb5 /export/krb5 will succeed with or without the patch.

106639-01 / 106640-01 -- This patch fixes a memory leak that occurs when using NFS file systems that are using Kerberos V5 security.

107228-01 / 107281-01 -- This patch fixes XFN to scale to large tables suitable for use with gsscred command. If you choose to not use XFN, then you do not need this patch.
