AFAIK there are no "xattrs enabled shells" and based on http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-discuss/2006-May/016308.html there will no special XATTR support in ksh93/bash in the forseeable future unless these files become accessible in the normal filesystem space. > > those files and many tools dump core when used via runat(1).

Shells are designed in a way that each filesystem object has a proper parent which can be resolved on demand. At least for shell scripts all hell breaks loose once this rope is cut (which happens for runat(1)). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
