Similarly, if libC.so is patched, it would be extremely nice for the system to look at processes that have it mapped, trace those to SMF-managed services, then tell the administrator the minimum set that needs to be restarted (or do it automatically, if so configured).
One of the new features coming in patchadd is the use of loopback mounts, so that if you install a patch that changes something that would break existing software, it's installed, then the old version is loopback mounted on top of it until you reboot. http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/sundocs/articles/patch-wn.jsp has more details. -- -Alan Coopersmith- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
