bzzt, yourself. :-/ /bin is just a symlink to /usr/bin, and if your script must run before /usr is mount (or must clean up after it has unmounted), then using /bin/sh is a mistake.

If all that you have to do is rewire the rc script, then I think you're extraordinarily lucky. Even so, that's still porting. I've compiled all sorts of code, and rarely run into such cases among things that haven't been ported to Solaris yet. (And if it's advertised as having already been ported over, then you shouldn't have to do _anything_ special, including hacking up rc scripts.) -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
