Yes, sorry about the typo. I wrote another article directly following
this one to correct it, but hey, it stays.. Leave out the *dot* is very
important indeed ;-)

About devfsadm vs touch /reconfigure I'm not sure if they're really the
same thing. Why else wuld sun recommand a reconfiguration reboot after
some patches instead of a simple "devfsadm". That would be much faster.
I'm sure there are important differences I don't know of (yet).

Reboot is required if any kernel modules or the kernel itself
have been updated, in order to get the updated code loaded.

(In some cases, a modunload could be used, but in most cases
it wouldn't, so it's not worth describing.)

Tks guys,

touch /reconfigure ; init 6 works well !
