Cobalt Updates
Sun Cobalt Qube3

Downloads MUST be applied from the bottom of the page to the top, as they must be applied in chronlogical order. Application of these patches in improper order will likely result in problems with the Sun Cobalt™ product.
ALWAYS MAKE A GOOD BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANY UPDATE!!!


NOTICE

The Official Sun Cobalt Updates End Here!

All Updates from this point are created by me, Zeffie of Zeffie.com...

Please note that you are using these updates at your own risk and I do not provide free support for them. If you have problems you should try installing the pkgs from the command line and watch for any error messages...

These pkg files also represent a basic change in the way updates have been made in the past... While most software was "patched" in the past, it will be my goal to build updated pkgs equivalent to the now Current RedHat Enterprise 3 or best... I will be doing my very best to avoid building "patched" versions of old software however in some places there is no choice.

Qube3 Kernel Update

FTP Point your FTP client to ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com Size: 4,276,485

This patch upgrades the version of the kernel to C33. This kernel contains fixes to the Remote Access VPN and adds support for raw disk IO. This kernel update fixes a problem with the mppe compressor/decompressor used by PPTP (Remote Access VPN) where an encrypted link fails to re-sync after a dropped packet, causing all transmissions to stop over the VPN link. The performance of remote access VPN is highly dependent on the quality of the underlying network, and is more likely to encounter problems when used over slow links or links with bad routing between the client and the server. Any firewalls between the client and server must pass protocol 47 (GRE) and tcp port 1723. Some users of residential gateways/routers have encountered problems that were solved by connecting directly to the cable/DSL modem
