Re: Solaris 2.6 not y2k ready (?)

[Chris <cgreer1@midsouth.rr.com>]

Solaris 2.6 out of the box isn't Y2K compliant.  Neither is Solaris 2.7
for that matter (according to Sun).

Sun provides a program called Sunscan 2000 to help you diagnose patches
needed for Y2K problems.  It will also tell you if there is a newer 
revision of a patch you have installed.  All in all it was pretty useful
in our efforts.  

I know In Solaris 2.7 stdperfmeter had some problems, and process
accounting had some problems (but I don't remember if that was 2.6 or
2.7).  

Java has some problems unless you are running the latest and greatest.  

Look for sunscan 2000 on Sun's web site for more info on it.
