Patches
Keep up-to-date with patches.
Don't let someone exploit a known security hole on
your operating system. Stay current and install patches
quickly.
Solaris patching can be automated with an OIT tool
called PatchAlert. Or, you
can retrieve patches
directly from Sun.
Managing IRIX patches isn't quite as convenient. You
are encouraged to purchase a software
support contract so you can receive the operating
system and application patches that are in regularly
released IRIX Maintenance Upgrades.
