I don't think I understand why that should be. We already have non-BSD things in /usr/bin. We even have GPL'd things in ON. > It would make sense to have only those programs in /usr/bin/ that are fully > integrated into ON I disagree strongly with that assertion. /usr/bin isn't the exclusive home of ON-delivered objects. Nor is the ON consolidation the right place to stuff everything that wants (or needs) to be in /usr/bin. Nor, even, is PSARC the keeper of ON. These things are independent; please don't confuse them. There's enough of that confusion around already. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
