Hmm, I must have been on vacation or something.
Regardless, I don't have this code.
And for the record, I never said I was happy about having to run gmond
as root instead of nobody. :)

Hi Christopher.
I have not received a response from Steven Wagner so I will sent this
message to the ganglia-developers list (where it belongs). I am keen to get
these changes added to the ganglia because running gmond in root mode is a
risk that many net security teams are unwilling to take.
Can someone responsible for the gmond code please respond? I'd love to send
you my modified solaris.c file for testing/evaluation.

Hello all,
in response to this message:
Hi Steven.
I spent some time digging through man pages and I have now eliminated the
need for kvm in solaris.c
(no more root permissions!! Our security experts can breathe a sigh of
relief!!)
I figured out how to get the statistics from kstat and modified solaris.c
accordingly . I¹ll send you my solaris.c once I¹ve cleaned it up and ran a
few more tests.
I tried it on Solaris 5.9 but I will try it on 5.8 too.
