[pca] Single-User revisited

[Smith, Kev]

Why not drop the server to single user, start the network from the rc3.d
scripts which will allow you to DL patches and apply them in single
user.

Subject: [pca] Single-User revisited


I know it's an age-old question. To patch in single-user, or not.  

I'm concerned mostly about the patches that require a reconfigure
reboot. For example sparc kernel patches 120011-14 or 127127-11. Has
anyone had any problems applying these patches in multi-user mode on a
running system?

I'm asking because I would like to implement the use of a pca proxy, but
I figure in order to download a patch from the proxy, I can't be running
in single-user mode -- and as much as possible I would like the process
to be streamlined such that applying kernel patches uses pca the same as
any other trivial patch. 

Thanks for any insight.
