Jesús Cea Avión <j...@jcea.es> added the comment:

I do know, but when you are working inside a zone, I am not sure you can count 
of that file being always present. Syslog even could be disabled or not 
available inside a zone.

I am thinking about how to manage OS's with no support for doors. Instead of 
conditionally compile the new STAT, I would rather have the function always 
available, but returning FALSE when the OS doesn't support doors. But what 
happen if you mount a Solaris filesystem in a nonsolaris machine?. Let say, a 
Solaris ZFS filesystem with doors, under linux/*bsd + ZFS?.

So maybe would be better to not compile that function in those OS's, instead of 
"lying" in corner cases.

Not decided yet. I accept ideas.
