Wow! I do I even need to say what that implies about SMF? This entire thread sounds a lot like the old SysV vs BSD debate. It's actually amazing that Sun survived the decision to abandon their (working) BSD for (broken/buggy) SysV. I don't think it was until about 2.4 that Solaris began to be a decent alternative. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The opinions expressed in this message are mine, not those of Caltech, JPL, NASA, or the US Government.
