The systems are Solaris 9, I recently installed a current (at the time)
version of ipfilter.  Now I need to patch the OS.  I can't find any doc
on how to treat ipfilter.  I think the safe way would be:

 

1 - remove ipf, ipfx and pfil

2 - reboot

3 - install patches w/ reboots as necessary

4 - rebuild pfil and ipfilter reinstalling the packages

5 - reboot

 

Comments?  Be gentle if I'm off track....
