Did the same last night. There is one MAJOR gotcha for Solaris that isn't in the docs, but is on the wiki. Sys-Hostname-Long is majorly broken on Solaris. It assumes a gnu hostname command and issues 'hostname --fqdn' to get the hostname, resorting to an IP method if this returns an error. hostname on solaris however doesn't take options, and if you are root set's the system hostname to whatever you pass it. Upshot: Run spamd 3.0.0 as root on Solaris to suid to your users, and it changes your hostname to --fqdn ! So if you did a make test of S::H::L as a user other than root, all tests pass and it looks like it works. Call it from a program running as root -- and WHAM, odd things start happening since your hostname is now wrong. IE -- syslog stops working. This was posted on the wiki and on the CPAN site, but evidently no one had e-mailed the author of Sys-Hostname-Long! I mailed him about this last night. I highly suggest at LEAST adding a note to the INSTALL notes of SA 3.0.0 -Chris ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/
