OS/Net utilities are definately not 64bit clean (nor are the OS/Net build tools) which forces Solaris ports to always implement 32bit support (whether they want it or not). And the issue is known since at least when the 64bit support was developed for Solaris 7 and nothing was done yet to fix it. ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
