questions on HPSecurityBul253.depot

[James Ellis_1]

I plan to install this depot, but I cannot seem to find any information on what it does, what patches are installed, if any and whether the server will be rebooted etc. Anyone have any success installing this?

Thanks.

It's a sendmail patch, no reboot. We're all patched up (no problems).

Search for HPSBUX0304-253 in the TKB. [There's links posted in

Just sendmail. If you installed the binarires, you don't need it.

James,

read http://www4.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docId=HPSBUX0302-246 and the description part of this depot after heaving read the depot with swinstall or swcopy. This gives you information on what files are installed and if the system will be rebooted (it won't).

Within swinstall (or swcopy) you can click on the depot to enter the fileset level. Clicking on each fileset, you will see what files are withing the depot and where they get installed on the system.

I installed this depot without any problem.

This depot is a work-around created by HP. When HP will release a regular sendmail patch (PHSS_????? or so), you have to swremove the depot HPSecurityBul253 from the system bofore installing the regular patch. But this is described in the description part of the depot.
