That's OK.  The season seems to make us all goofy one way or another. ;-)

They might.  Like I said YMMV.

You're running Solaris right?  Download patchdiag and the most current
patchdiag.xref file and install those on the system.  Run "patchdiag | lp -d
blah" - blah being your print queue - and see what isn't up to date.  I've
found that I have to patch the 2.6 and Solaris 7 systems at work about once
every month or so even though the patchdiag.xref file changes about once
every two weeks.

If I think of anything else I'll let you know.

Happy Yule!
