That doesn't sound right to me ... why does the file itself say that it's stale? And why is the last update to prophist.c back in 2006? # prophist.SUNWcsr - historical property corrections for ON # # For builds prior to S10 final product release, certain manifests were # delivered with incorrect property values or dependencies. This file # contains corrected values and, optionally for each property, a series # of previous default values which should be corrected. # # With the arrival of manifest merging support, this file's contents # should be treated as fixed. *My* guess is that this is long since obsolete, and is something we should have tossed out in 2005. -- 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
