Solaris 8? Well, that explains a lot. Have you looked at Solaris 10? The difference between Solaris 8 and 10 is like chalk and cheese.

Brute force attacks won't bother trying to determine what platform you're using, they'll just try 'em all. -- Rich Teer, SCNA, SCSA, OpenSolaris CAB member President, Rite Online Inc.
