>Hi Sun-Managers,

In summary and thanks to the following:
jjr@edi-nola.com (Jack Reiner)
tkevans@eplrx7.es.duPont.com (Tim Evans)
"Susan M. Menig" <ddq251f@shoes.Bell-Atl.Com>

Patches do need to be installed for each client and the information on the
matter can be found in the readme file that comes with the distribution
or in "Maintenance Supplement 1 for Solaris 2.3".

Thanks for the help.
