I just wrote them a feedback about this. You first have to know to
click the database link then you have to understand that the parens() in
that document for table 2 are a link. I don't think that's a standard
convention anywhere. How about a nice big flashing arrow that says,
"This way to Download?" I'll read the rest of the documentation
later. I think their process stinks. I went through advanced search
and could not get to the patch. My partner did and the difference was
that I selected Windows 2003 as an operating system and he selected
Windows 32 bit. That shouldn't have happened and adds to my feeling
that behind the scenes the Elbonians are running Oracle.

If you click on the "Database" link, it will bring you to
another note (#360465.1). The patches are not underlined (no decoration
associated with the link). If you scroll down, you will see specific
patches for various RDBMS versions. For instance,
10.2.0.1
* UNIX and Linux: 5049080
<http://updates.oracle.com/ARULink/PatchDetails/process_form?patch_num=5
049080>
* Windows 32: Patch 6 (5059238
<http://updates.oracle.com/ARULink/PatchDetails/process_form?patch_num=5
059238> ) or later
* Windows Itanium 64-bit: Patch 6 (5059251
<http://updates.oracle.com/ARULink/PatchDetails/process_form?patch_num=5

Maybe I just missing the obvious or confused, but where is the
patch (for the RDBMS)?
Do I have to use Metalink "Patch Search" and *find* it for my
DB/OS version?...and what bug /patch do I reference.
The Note is very clear, but not about "what to do"?
PS Anybody like/use the "Oracle Default Password Scanner"? Was
going to try it today.
