Hmm I havn't noticed many problems but... I havn't owned SUNs long (just a couple of months ago I bought my first IPC) and with a move and so much going on in um...what do they call this stuff you do every day...real life? anyway I dunno what ya call the stuff you do when not playing with a sparc (I dunno I detest the stuff...hmm new bumper sticker for my car... "Id rather be playing with Sparcy" ) > Okay, enough of the rambling, how about some useful info? Well we you MUST ;) > Many people have noticed that ^Z does not work properly in bash.

Perhaps login/telnetd/sshd need to be recompiled. hmm weird...you could be right... I guess you could at the silo prompt boot "linux /bin/sh" and forget everything just boot right into bash... if it does it there it is either a bash problem or a kernel problem ;) (hmm or a libc problem...or...) Im glad to see interest... You don't need anyone to sign your PGP key per se to become a developer. Hell...my pgp key has been around since 6/96 and noone has ever signed it (I hope to rectify this soon but...) All you need to do is this: Gather all of your info (as per web page) into an e-mail...adress...phone.. name etc. Sign it with your pgp key. send it. Then comes proving who you are...you can... scan a picture of some offical Document and pgp sign/mail it... or do what I did...wait for the snail-mail adress and snail-mail a photocopy of your Drivers Lincense (just don't FUBAR the snail-mail adress like I did the first try) -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>------------ */ E-mail "Bumper Stickers": "A FREE America or a Drug-Free America: You can't have both!"
