Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
 
For Solaris 2.0-2.6 releases, refer to the Install.info file and/or
the README within the patch for instructions on using the generic
'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided with each patch.
 
For Solaris 7-8 releases, refer to the man pages for instructions
on using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts provided with Solaris.
Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be
described below as special instructions.  The following example
installs a patch to a standalone machine:
 
       example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02
 
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
 
       example# patchrm 104945-02

Special Install Instructions:
----------------------------- 
 
	NOTE : 	If BSM has already been activated, the file,
	        /etc/security/device_allocate, should be inspected 
	        for corrupted entries.  These will show up with the 
	        vi editor as non-ascii characters. If a bad entry
                is found, then the mkdevalloc program should be run
	        (as the root user) and the device_allocate file
	        regenerated.
 
	        	mkdevalloc > device_allocate.new
 
	        Compare old and new versions of device_allocate to 
		verify correct entries. Replace device_allocate with
                new version.
