Yes. Fortunately, you won't have to create that link yourself. You can get it for free here: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/nightly-bins/ > * How do we map the "node" identifier to the onnv bits the nwam gate > is sync'd with?

This should be fairly easy and shouldn't require much in the way of work for anyone on the team. If it does, then something's wrong, and we'll need to change the way we handle closed binaries in ON, because it needs to be easy. We can't have every project team wandering around in this forest. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
