just to you in case this is too mundane for the list
feel free to put it back on list if you think otherwise

we have a sol10.sun4 machine to test on
ksh builds with pfexec enabled
our attempts to test /usr/bin/mkdir vs. pfexec failed
we tried this
        truss ksh -P -c 'mkdir foo'
and looked for
        execve("/usr/bin/pfexec",...
to verify pfexec kicked in

is this a feeble test or is there special setup that must be done
e.g., there is a call to exec_attr() that looks like it could shunt pfexec
