For UNIX platforms, Directory Server provi des a utility named dsktune that can

Solaris 8 Operating System
If y ou run Directory Server on a Solaris operating system, you mu st ensure that t he
recommended patch cluster is installed. Solaris patches are identified by t wo
numbers, for example 106125-10. The first number (106125) identifies the patch
itself. The second number identifies the version o f the patch, in the example above
the patch is version number 10. We recommend installing the latest version of the
patch in order to benefit from the latest fixes.
