As PsiCop suggested in his PAQ, edit the patch order file and remove the sendmail patch.<br />
<br />
But I also *STRONGLY* suggest you do not touch the /var/sadm/install/contents<wbr /> file as his PAQ also suggests.<br />
<br />
Just don't install the sendmail patch - much safer.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I am planning to update the patches on my Solaris 8 Sun server by installing the patch bundles (8_Recommended), but I do not want to touch anything that is associated with sendmail. &nbsp;In another words, I do not want update any sendmail patches because of the fear that it might change the configuration of files that are associated with sendmail. &nbsp;Is there a command that I may use to install all of the patches that are in the bundles except the patches that are associated with sendmail?<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Installing Patch Bundles

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
