[pca] Latest Solaris10 patches

[little help]

Thanks - I will give it a try.  Is there any side effect of commenting this
out?
As per the BugID the workaround was

svccfg -s sendmail setprop config/local_only=false

*Description*


--------------------------------
sendmail[1581]: daemon MTA-v6: problem creating SMTP socket
sendmail[1581]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: daemon
MTA-v6: cannot bind: Cannot assign requested address
--------------------------------

these are printed into console and cause problem during expect automation.
Similar problem is described in CR *6722022* but only on local zones
in Nevada, however root cause is the same ipv6 lo0 interface is not
present on S10, but value config/local_only is set to true, therefor
sendmail tries to bind to ipv6 interface which fails.
grep DaemonPortOptions /etc/mail/sendmail.cf on S10 nightly
s10u9_2010-02-18(RE) or s10u9_2010-02-21(RE) is reporting the same as
on Nevada:
-------------------------------
# grep DaemonPortOptions /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA-v4, Family=inet
O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA-v6, Family=inet6
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=587, Name=MSA, M=E
-------------------------------

We did just the standard install, no modification to sendmail configurations.

  *Work Around*

change config/local_only property of sendmail to false or bring up
inet6 lo0 interface
