Subject: Re: upgrading ipfilter or pfil on Solaris 10?
Gang,
While I'm the author of the how-to on replacing Sun's ipfilter
with the public domain version at:
http://www.colby.edu/personal/j/jaearick/sysadmin/sol10.ipfilter.upgrade
I have never upgraded ipfilter or pfil from one version to another
on any of my Solaris 10 boxes. I need to do so. Anybody have
any advice, warnings, or gotchas on this topic? Or is this new
territory that needs to be documented?
pkgrm ipfx
pkgrm ipf
pkgrm pfil
reboot
pkgadd pfil
pkgadd ipf
pkgadd ipfx
You asked in another email whether or not the reboot is avoidable.
Yes, it is, but avoiding it means unplumb'ing all of your interfaces.
Isn't doing the pkgrm's without modunloading the modules first a bad idea?
Kind of like shifting gears without using the clutch -- horrible
grinding sounds???
