I guess it is on purpose ... no sane person would write if 40 - 40: oo * OoO0O00 if 2 - 2: ooOO00oOo % oOo0O0Ooo * Ooo00oOo00o . oOoO0oo0OOOo + iiiiIi11i > seems to be a rather bad approach as apart from the java and > openldap stuff the sunray server software can be nicely tuned by > changing the tons of shell scripts they use.

I have not investigated it, but this might be a way to actually make thinlink type sessions talk directly to sunray clients ...
