I did not mean to point an accusatory finger at Sun there. Perhaps I should have said, "for reasons unknown to me". I applaud Sun for not shipping the headers in the case you've outlined; I value the ABI stability that Solaris provides. Thanks for explaining why those decisions were made. -- Coy Hile [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
