Where can one get SunOS patches? Where can I get patch 10xxxx-xx?

        Many anonymous ftp sites have partial collections of patches.
        These sites include the following:
	
	Sun sanctioned sites:
		sunsolve1.sun.com:/pub/patches/
    			via WWW http://sunsolve1.sun.com/
		sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/sun-info/sun-patches/
    		sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/sun-info/sun-patches/
    		sunsite.sut.ac.jp:/pub/sun-info/sun-us/sun-patches/
    		sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk:/sun/sunsite-sun-info/sun-patches/

	Note: You should always attempt to find a local site before
	      using the above.

	sunsolve1.sun.com contains a collection of recommended and 
	security patches. Be sure to check out the 2.x_Recommended.tar.Z
	files which contain all the Recommended patches in  one file.
	The "Sunsites" are essentially mirrors of sunsolve.

	Support Customers:

    	Starting with SunSolve CD 2.1.2 ALL Sun patches are shipped
    	on the SunSolve CD.

    	Support customers can get all patches via ftp from Sunsolve
    	or by e-mail and query one of the online sunsolve-databases
    	on the internet.

	Some notes:	

	Do install the Recommended patches. 

	If you find a bug report it to Sun. This is the only way
	it will get fixed.

	Do not "blindly" install all patches. Sun does not always
	have time to test for possible interactions between patches.

	Do not install patches for applications that you to do use.

	Do install patches for "bugs" that are actually affecting you.
