Not in reply to Maciej but more in general: I have never understood this "I don't have root in the global zone"-issue. If you're only root in the sparse zone, why don't you just ask the global root to install cswclassutils? It's not like asking them to pollute the global zone with an Oracle installation, it's just a few shell scripts. In what situation could this not get done? I doubt much can be done at all at a company that can't provide that minor service. Sorry for not being more understanding but if we're dropping support for an excellent feature I'm not going to work at replacing it. -- /peter _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
