We _shipped_ TS8 in 2000, and it was clearly designed well before that. POSIX.1-2001 is that old? In any event, I don't think that issue actually matters here. > > No slap needed, as best I can tell.

The project actually started work before there was an OpenSolaris, and began ARC review before there was any sort of open review process, so, although it's unfortunately, it's not too surprising that it's one of the closed cases. The process for opening cases is documented here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/arc-faq/arc-publish-historical-checklist/ In short, it needs to be discussed on the relevant mailing list -- opensolaris-code isn't the right one, but security-discuss is -- and cross-posted to arc-discuss. I don't see it in the status table, so I have to figure that no such request has been made. I agree with having this one published. I think it'd be a good thing. I don't think the actual file format (inherited unchanged from TS8) was included in the case materials, though. It's simply ancient. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
