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 release, 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

For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.

Special Install Instructions: 
----------------------------- 

NOTE 1:	 This patch may contain one or more OEM-specific platform ports.
	 See the appropriate OEM_NOTES file within the patch for information
	 specific to these platforms.
		 
	 DO NOT INSTALL this patch on an OEM system if a corresponding
	 OEM_NOTES file is not present or states not to install, unless the
	 vendor directs otherwise.

NOTE 2:  If possible, perform patch installation in single user mode.  If this 
	 can not be done, we recommend having the system in as quiet a state
	 as possible: no users logged on, no user jobs running.

	 Reboot the system after patch installation.

NOTE 3:  System Boot and Error Messages
         ------------------------------
	 This patch improves the system boot and error message format by 
	 providing a unique identifier, module name, and time stamp to messages 	 generated by the syslogd(1M) logging facility. In addition, messages 
	 that were previously lost after a system panic and reboot are now 
	 saved. 

         A msgid(1M) command is provided for OEMs who want to generate message
         catalogs that map message IDs to message text.  See msgid(1M) for 
	 details.

         The new message format can be enabled or disabled by setting the msgid
         property in the log.conf file; see log(7D) for details.  The new 
	 message format is not enabled by default.

         New System Error Message Format

	 If msgid is set to 0 in the log.conf file, there are no changes in the
	 message format. If msgid is set to 1, there are two changes in the
	 message format:

	 1. The text of the message is preceded by a message ID that looks like 	    this:

   	    [ID <msgid> <facility>.<priority>]

    	    For example:

            [ID 123456 kern.notice]

   	    The <msgid> identifier is described in msgid(1M). The <facility> and
            <priority> tags are described in syslog.conf(4).

         2. If the message originated in the kernel, the kernel module name is
            displayed instead of just 'unix.'

            Previous message format:

            Oct  1 14:07:24 venus unix: alloc: /: file system full

            New message format:

            Oct 1 14:07:24 venus ufs: [ID 845546 kern.notice] alloc: /: file system full \
            How to Enable or Disable System Message IDs

            1. Become superuser.

            2. Enable or disable system message IDs by setting the msgid property
               in the file /platform/`uname -i`/kernel/drv/log.conf if it exists,
   	       or /kernel/drv/log.conf otherwise.

               a. To enable system message IDs, add this line:

               msgid=1;

               b. To disable system message IDs, add this line:

               msgid=0;

            3. Save and close the file.

            4. Reboot the system.

NOTE 4:  To get the complete fix for 4201921, please also install the
         /kernel/sched/TS patch, 107462-01, or its newer version. 

NOTE 5:  To get the complete fix for 4240566 (security: LC_MESSAGES
	 buffer overflow), we recommend installing the following
	 patches:

	 106793-03 (or newer)   ufsdump and ufsrestore patch
	 107972-01 (or newer)	/usr/sbin/static/rcp patch
