After several enlightening replies from Alex Madden <Alex.Madden@betfair.com>, Christophe Dupre <duprec@score.rpi.edu>, and Albert White <albert.white@gmail.com>, I've found the set of patches which comprise Solaris 9's Maintenance Update 5. As my esteemed colleagues have pointed out, Sun no longer offers Maintenance Updates (bummer). The MUs' purpose was to offer the opportunity to apply some or all of the patches contained in a given Solaris release--without applying the entire OS release. The main advantage of applying patches is that they can be backed out--unlike an OS update. Thanks to Christophe Dupre and Albert White for finding the stash of MU packages (http://sunsolve.sun.com/private-cgi/show.pl?target=archmus, stopping at MU4 :-). Albert White wins the Persistence Aware for also finding the list of MU5 patches (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-2706/6mibobb5p?a=view), and for recommending Patch Manager ( http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=40c8c2ad) to get/install all 476 of the little buggers. Honorable mention to Kevin Shaw <Kevin.Shaw@CAX.USA.XEROX.com> for volunteering his personal expertise (and currently running setup) with Solaris 9, Oracle, and Network Appliance.
