How do I find out what patches are available from Sun?
If you have a software service agreement with Sun, you can use Sun's"SunSolve ONLINE" service to obtain patches. Check your service
agreement for details.
Sun recommended patches can be obtained from sun via anonymous ftp to
sunsolve1.sun.com.
Many anonymous ftp sites have partial collections of patches. The archie
service can be consulted.
WARNING: if you ftp patches from an ftp site, you are trusting whomever
put them there. To be absolutely safe, get your patches from a
trusted source.

The Sun User Group (SUG) CD ROM also has a collection of Sun patches.
There is a special patch tape (U1) available from sun for Sun3's running
SunOS 4.1.1 which fixes many of the bugs that were fixed for Sparcs in
later releases. Note that sun3's don't run anything later than 4.1.1.
