Some useful links for operating system patches are provided below. The
vendor-provided pages for recommended patch sets (sometimes called maintenance
releases) and security-related patches are shown. Where possible, we also have
a link to a local copy of the latest patch set, for faster retrieval. The local
copies are updated periodically, but we recommend you check with the vendor
pages for the latest information.
Solaris
- SunSolve
Patch Access - Sun's recommended security patch clusters.
- Local copies of recent Solaris
8, Solaris
9, and Solaris
10 recommended Patch Clusters are available (SPARC only). See the
CLUSTER_README file for the date on which this cluster was released. Some
individual patches (e.g., security patches not yet in the cluster) may also be
available.
- See the Solaris Patch Cluster Install
Web page for generic installation instructions. See the CLUSTER_README
file included with each cluster for more details.
AIX
- Support for AIX — IBM's online technical support page.
- Select APARs for AIX 4.2
and AIX
4.3.2 are available locally.
HP Tru64 UNIX (Compaq/Digital)
IRIX
Linux
There are many different flavors of Linux. Dartmouth currently recommends
the Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution.
Local copies of non-Linux patches are actually in AFS. AFS clients can see
them in /afs/northstar/public/OS, grouped by operating
system.
