Hi. Some quick notes.
1. Using /tmp under Solaris for tempfiles can be problematic. I recommend to override this in /opkg/etc/rc.conf. This may be good for the wiki, i would prefer a README.openpkg in $prefix/share/pkg/doc for such things, though. Also for the hints/recommendations that are displayed after building/installing some commands (the text boxes after installing e.g. openpkg or mysql etc., you know ?). I prefer to have such things "local". 2. "updatdb" in the commandline works, "openpkg rc findutils daily" hangs, the nightly cron job generates an empty database. This is caused by the options "--localuser/--netuser". When they are used, "updatedb" runs the command "su user -s $SHELL -c ...". Under Solaris, the su-command does not know an "-s"-option. But instead to complain, it just fires up the command "$SHELL". This hangs, when called with stdin from a terminal and terminates immediately when there is no valid stdin (or is it /dev/null in cron jobs ?). I do not use those options in the commandline, so a "plain" updatedb from the commandline just works. So, because the jobs are started in the root crontab, and the default user for the mentioned options is root, i just also override findutils_localuser and findutils_netuser in rc.conf with an empty string. But there should be a better solution. Which is hopefully _not_ to install the GNU su :) (mk) -- Matthias Kurz; Fuldastr. 3; D-28199 Bremen; VOICE +49 421 53 600 47 >> Im prämotorischen Cortex kann jeder ein Held sein.
