Well, the features the Solaris native versions of the coreutils have are
roughly as follows:
* chgrp: Windows SIDs (for CIFS/SMB shared volumes.
SAMBA could possibly take advantage of this feature)
More specifically, could you show actual command line uses for these
features? That is, what flags or other syntax changes are you
proposing adding, that would expose these capabilities.
Perhaps not, nevermind I brought it up. Although SID -> gid mapping
could still potentially remain an option for the SAMBA folks if they
wanted to extend it further. We do it as a function of our own
kernel-level CIFS server
Anything that already has an existing option letter in the Solaris
implementation is a good argument for inclusion in coreutils under the
same option letter, provided it doesn't conflict with existing usage
in coreutils.
Okay, so no problems then with features that may be Solaris specific (
eg, Zones ) ? Assuming they'd be (#ifdef sun)'d out.
