Changes to Patch Access on SunSolve
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting in mid July 2006, Sun is changing its methods to access Sun
Software Updates (patches). It will become easier and simpler for
you. You will only need a Sun Online Account to access Software
Updates. For customers who use Anonymous FTP, please be aware that
access to Sun Software Updates via anonymous FTP will no longer be
available as of late August 2006.
