Sun have released a maintenance update for Solaris v2.7 in two forms.
The first as an upgrade CD, the second as a cluster of patches
downloadable from:

With a suitable login and password. I just wish our Sun technical
support people knew that.
Thanks to the following people who replied:
Casper Dik
Peter L. Wargo
Justin Stringfellow
Stephen Harris
As always, very helpful :)
Regards,
Graham
