But, when I tried to set up startup scripts in /etc/rc2.d I met
another question. Someone says original startup script should be
modified to run 64bits ipfilter. That is, /usr/sbin/sparcv9/ipf is
ipfilter 64bit code & /usr/sbin/ipf is 32bits.

Need I modify it ?


No, /usr/sbin/ipf is a hard link to /usr/lib/isaexec, which automatically
selects the appropriate binary /usr/sbin/sparcv7/ipf or /usr/sbin/sparcv9/ipf.

Hrm. I just noticed something...

On sparc, /sbin/ipf is a symlink to /usr/sbin/ipf which is, as you
mentioned a hardlink to isaexec.

On the other hand, in solaris x86, /usr/sbin/ipf doesn't exist, and
/sbin/ipf is the actual ipf binary....

Now I wouldn't expect isaexec to be used on x86... it isn't needed...
but why is /usr/sbin/ipf on one arch but not the other, and why is
/sbin/ipf a symlink on one arch and real on another. That seems wrong to
me...
