I haven't seen Solaris since about 2005, so I am sure someone will correct me if I am mistaken. You'll need to install Dirvish by hand, which is as I recall pretty easy. You'll need to install a couple of dependencies, too, using Perl's CPAN. (From the package HOWTO file) # perl -mCPAN -e install [module] Time::ParseDate Time::Period Possibly POSIX Perl module if Solaris 10 doesn't have that. You'll probably want to run # perl -v && rsync --version ... Although if you want this to be a Dirvish client, you just need rsync on the Solaris box and you're done I believe. Was this going to be a client or a server? I'd make sure you've got OpenSSH installed on the Solaris 10 box. (I remember building it by hand on 8.) _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list Dirvish@dirvish.org http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
