Thanks to: Karl Vogel <vogelke@dnaco.net> Elizabeth Lee Mark Neill Michael Grice Kevin Graham As many pointed out, there is a big difference between having a sunsolve account and just pointing to the website sunsolve.sun.com. Sunsolve website just give you the basic recommended patches. If you want more than this (document database, SRDB's, InfoDocs, Early Notifier etc..) or some really hot patches, you will need to have a sunsolve account (ie support contract) According to Mark Neill, there are other software that you can access if you have a sunsolve account, such as coredump debugger, Sun's System explorer, the sun System Management console etc... Bugtraq is a website that is community-contributed-to list of bugs and fixes. Neill mentioned the website is www.bugtraq.com I think Sun also has a very comprehensive bugtraq database inhouse, but it is only available to Sun's tech support employees, not to contract customers ------------------------------------------------ Original question: I have a question about Sunsolve patches: What is the advantage of having a Sunsolve account? I've noticed that I do *not *need to have a Sunsolve account in order to download certain patches (after I run patchdiag). So what is the big deal about having to have a Sunsolve account? Also, I've heard about bugtraq database. How does one get access to Sun bugtraq (or bugtraq+) database? Is there a mailing list where I can subscribe to be notified of the new Sun bugs or bugtraqs? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
