Solaris has some great technology in it (like ZFS), but many of the tools are decidedly stuck in the past. Logging in to a Solaris system feels archaic when compared to Linux or other modern open source *nix systems. This could easily account for this approach (and it does have some validity, because many of the changes in modern OSes could be seen a "fluff" from a certain point of view). _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
