Just a little note: You should add /usr/sfw/bin to your PATH env var or ask your Sysadmin to install SUNWgtar: Solaris 10 (even the 3 years aka pretty old version u3 you are using) already comes with a lot of GNU stuff ... On none-GNU OSs GNU tools usually pick up GNU tools before the OS tools, when they find them ...
