List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: Hi Wade, I haven't seen such behaviour myself, but I do remember some bugid's which seem related. Basically, as I mentioned before, you need to go to sun.com, and run their patch expert tool. Use the web-based java applet; avoid their java-based CLI technology - there are too many problems with it, and it is basically useless IMHO. Then just select the patches that you need, download the tarball, extract it, and run the patching tool. It's pretty straightforward if you do it by hand. Just be *certain* to do a `boot -r` right afterwards if the README says to reboot the system. Specifically, I recall seeing a big kernel-level patch related to NFS hanging issues. You can tell what level your kernel is patched to via `uname -a` on Solaris IIRC. In general, if you have an older stock Solaris release, you need to patch it.
