A helper library that provides the missing functionality is yet another useful approach to the problem. But it does raise an interesting question: if such a library is viable and supportable on S10, why is it not also a reasonable answer on OpenSolaris? Who said that applications on OpenSolaris must be completely unmodified from Linux? -- 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
