Regarding the recent inetd/ipcs security patches that I need to apply to many 
systems fast...
We have a lot of systems at 4.0d/e or at earlier than the required patch level 
(e.g., 5.1a PK1, not PK2 or 4.0f at less than PK7).  Some are production so I 
hesitate to upgrading or applying a large patch kit too quickly w/o testing as 
it risks something breaking.
Has anyone tried copy the installed files from 4.0f/g to an earlier/unsupported 
version (4.0d/e)?  (Of course doing an unsupported copy like this is also risky 
but we need to close this security risk quickly on several systems.)
