Hi Marcus,

Well, it is as follows:

RaQ4-All-Security-2.0.1-2-15787.pkg fixes the /usr/lib/authenticate issues and a .htacess related problem, but NOT the mod_ssl/2.8.4 OpenSSL/0.9.6b Slapper
vulnerability. Why Sun Cobalt didn't take the chance to fix two problems in
one patch is beyond my knowledge. Instead they'll most likely bother us with
another Apache-PKG in two months time. :o(

So the recommended course of actions would be this:

1) Uninstall the Solarspeed PKG by running the uninstaller located at
/var/lib/cobalt/uninstallers/mod_ssl-2.8.4.uninst

2) Then apply RaQ4-All-Security-2.0.1-2-15787.pkg

3) Re-apply the Solarspeed's RaQ4: Mod_SSL-2.8.4/OpenSSL-0.96g PKG
