You'd still need to create an OpenSolaris profile. While you're at it, you can create a profile.bashrc with the required modifications. I don't see any reason to not do the gpatch change, but it looks like unecessary to me because you already have simpler ways to solve the problem. So, requiring others to do a significant useless amount of work when you can solve it with just a line is not fair. Regards, -- Santiago M. Mola Jabber ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
