Just to clarify a few things: SXCE and SXDE have always required authentication. When the downloads were moved from the old SDLC to the new 'cds.sun.com', the ability to retrieve images *AFTER* authentication using wget or curl was broken. This is divergent behavior from every other downloadable software Sun provides, and makes it impossible to download images directly to remote machines.
Hope that helps. Brett This message posted from opensolaris.org
