If you do not have direct access to the IBM network, then you may get these
PTFs from the IBM Support Center by calling them and providing them with
requirements, media type, delivery address, and urgency.

Latest PSSP PTF

This is always changing, so a good place to look at it is in the Web at

http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/software/Pubs/sp_secure/status/

, where you will

find the latest PTF sets available, as well as a matrix describing the PSSP
components affected by these PTFs.

2.2.15 Obtaining PSSP PTFs Using FixDist

Figure 13. Obtaining PSSP PTFs Using FixDist

The easiest way to obtain AIX fixes and PSSP fixes is to use the tool FixDist.
There are several servers available around the world that mirror the latest set of
available PTFs:
