[pca] Problems installing 115545-04 on Solaris 9 systems via PCA

Hi D'Arcy,

I'm pretty sure that the patch is faulty, even though I can't reboot my 
Solaris 9 test machine right now to verify it.

I've compared "nm" output of the original /etc/lib/nss_files.so.1 with 
the one delivered in 115545-04. In the original version it used fopen(), 
while the patched version uses __nsl_fopen(). As there is no libnsl.so.1 
in /etc/lib/, uadmin fails with the error message you report.

This won't make a difference. When it gets to actually installing a 
patch, both tools use Sun's patchadd. So the result is 100% the same.

Please do that.

Thanks,

Martin.
