Are you wanting to integrate this into the ON consolidation or to SFW ? If you are targeting SFW (and I strongly suggest you do) then you may have better success getting help by posting a webrev of the changes to SFW to the sfw-discuss at opensolaris.org alias. I'm afraid I'm not personally skilled enough in SFW to act as your sponsor. Though I've prototyped the changes necessary for star in the past to integrate into SFW and you can find those in the sfw-discuss archives. If you are targeting ON then this is the appropriate alias to use, but someone else will need to help you as I'm quite opposed to integrating cross platform stuff into ON if it doesn't have to share private interfaces with some thing else in ON - it just hurts the portability and maintenance of that thing. Note I speak from (bitter) experience here with Kerberos, SSH, OpenSSL and others being in ON. If you do still want to target ON (or in fact SFW) you may have better luck finding a sponsor if you post a webrev of the proposed changes. Good luck in finding your integration sponsor. -- Darren J Moffat
