The biggest problem that I'm aware of will be with greeline and the best quick reference I can find to it is (search for "greenline"): http://www.softpanorama.org/Solaris/index.shtml If you wanted to replace the IPFilter in Solaris10 or later with the open source version, I imagine what will be neceesary is to build a package that is more patch-like that just replaces the binaries. And maybe do the same for pfil. It will take more thought but I am hoping, in time, that fewer people will want to do this. Darren
