Uhm... you are aware that this may break SMF's inetd services (inetd uses |libc::wordexp()| which uses a secret switch in Solaris's /usr/bin/ksh to do the word expansion. Unfortunately ksh93 does not support the "secret switch"-hack which causes |libc::wordexp()| to fail and this renderes inetd defunct. We have a solution in the ksh93-integration prototype004 tree which replaces the original |libc::wordexp()| function with a version which uses ksh93 instead... but that requires to replace your libc.so.1 libraries with the patched version...) ? ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
