Patch Installation Instructions: 

 This patch will replace the Solaris 2.x PC-NFS printing and 
 authentication daemon.  This PC-NFS authentication daemon can be
 used by PC-NFS and PC-NFSPro clients.

 On the system where Solstice Network Client is installed, copy file
 10634901.exe to a temporary directory and execute "10634901".  This 
 will create 3 new files in the temporary directory.  Mount a writable 
 directory on the server, preferably /var/spool/pkg, to a drive letter 
 on the PC.  Copy pkg.taz and addpkg.sh to the server from the temporary 
 patch directory.  Make sure that Windows does not change the case of
 pkg.taz when it copies it.   
 
 On the Solaris 2.x server if Windows changed the case of pkg.taz during
 the copy, move (mv) PKG.TAZ to pkg.taz.  Assign addpkg.sh execute permission
 if it doesn't already have it.  Run the addpkg.sh script to extract the 
 SUNWpcnfs package.  Use pkgrm to remove the existing SUNWpcnfd package.  
 Use pkgadd to install the new SUNWpcnfd package.  Information about the 
 Solaris package commands can be found in the Solaris man pages.
