The hot fix package that is downloaded is in compressed tar format.  The name 
of the tar file is 82bb58s2.tar.Z, and it contains the following files:

      * sasauth.82bb58
             the replacement executable containing the hot fix

      * 82bb58s2.aud
             a hot fix identifier file that will allow Technical Support
             to determine which fixes have been applied to a system

      * 82bb58s2.txt
             a copy of these installation instructions; this file is installed
             in !SASROOT/hotfix/doc 



IMPORTANT NOTE(S):

1.  You must have Release 8.2 (TS2M0) installed on your system before 
    applying this hot fix.



AFTER DOWNLOADING:

The following instructions describe the steps for installing the files listed 
above.  In this example, !SASROOT, the directory where Release 8.2 (TS2M0) is 
installed, is:

      /usr/lib/sas8


STEP 1:
Assuming the tar file is downloaded to the user's HOME directory, follow 
these procedures to install the package.

      $> cd /usr/lib/sas8
      $> uncompress -c $HOME/82bb58s2.tar  |  tar -xf -


STEP 2:
The tar command will extract the file sasauth.82bb58 into the 
!SASROOT/utilities/bin directory.  To replace the current sasauth 
executable follow these steps (assuming you are still in the 
/usr/lib/sas8 directory).

      $> cd utilities/bin 
     
      $> chown myuserid sasauth 

	[where myuserid is a non-root userid]

      $> chmod 755 sasauth 

      $> mv sasauth sasauth.TS2M0

      $> mv sasauth.82bb58 sasauth


If the file sasauth.TS2M0 already exists, skip the first mv command.


STEP 3:
Last, in order to authenticate a client’s identity and check the client’s 
authority to access resources, some setup is required by the root 
account. This setup changes the setuid permissions of file in 
!SASROOT/utilities/bin to root. 

This can be accomplished by executing the following commands:

      $> su root

      $> cd !SASROOT/utilities/bin

      $> chown root sasauth

      $> chmod 4755 sasauth

      $> exit



This completes the installation of hot fix 82BB58 on Solaris.
