A Local Patch Server Configured on a Solaris 9 System Ignores the Proper Download and Cache Directories (5066628)

Description:

If you are running the local patch server software on a system installed with Solaris 9, the detectors, database, and patches are downloaded to the wrong directories.

The detectors and database are downloaded to /var/sadm/spool/cache instead of /var/sadm/spool/patchsvr/Misc.

Patches are downloaded to /var/sadm/spool instead of /var/sadm/spool/patchsvr/Patches.

Even though the local patch server is using the wrong directories, proper operation is unaffected.

Note that this situation only occurs with systems that run the initial Solaris 9 software. Subsequent Solaris 9 releases are unaffected.
