samba - Apr 2005 - Changes to HOWTO and maybe Samba Guide for Solaris patches

Sun has changed the organization of their web site a lot over the years,
and I just noticed that a URL included in the HOWTO is broken now.
Perhaps there are others as well.
   In section 39.6.2 "Winbind on Solaris 9" (p. 503), Solaris 9 users
are directed to download a patch from the following URL:
    http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=112960;rev=14
   But the Sun site redirects users to a newer, longer, mch uglier URL:
 
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/advsearch.do?collection=PATCH&type=collec
tions&max=50&language=en&queryKey5=112960;rev=14&toDocument=yes
   (Yeah, that's all one line.)
   I just thought I should mention it, in case there are other specific
URLs for Sun web pages in the (wonderful!) documentation.

Will,

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I want updates like this for the HOWTO 
because over the next two weeks I will be updating it prior to printing of 
the second edition.

So folks, please email me your updates, glitches, wish lists, pet-peeves, etc. 
this is your chance to help improve the documentations.

Cheers,
John T.
