I tried each other possible subject and received no hits there either. Any suggestions or other ways that you know of to get this document. We have tentative plans to install/upgrade customers of our product with/to IDS 9.21 on Solaris 2.8 in the near future. I'd like to find out if I have to apply any OS Patches, configuration changes, or anything else of the sort. Thank you. -Ira Rosen
