   mv ezproxy ezproxy.yyyymmdd


3. Download ezproxy-sol26-sparc.bin into the directory where EZproxy is installed. If you download this file on different system and use FTP to move it to your EZproxy server, be sure to perform this transfer using binary.
4. Rename the program and make it executable with the commands:

   mv ezproxy-sol26-sparc.bin ezproxy
chmod 755 ezproxy

5. Create any new files required for the updated release with the command:

   ./ezproxy -m
