This ship has sailed many, many years ago, Jörg. The workload imposed on you is probably dwarfed in comparison to the actual problem of TS 8 customers not being able to restore backups. You don't have to support that feature of Sun's tar; but Sun MUST provide that feature for our customers. >Well, please try to understand what OpenSolaris needs to be: > >- OpenSolaris can only be successfull if all people from the community > do have the same rights.

There is no requirement for a distribution to ship Sun's tar, for one.
