unbustable? I do know that it was tested extensively on S10 x86. Unless you require a feature that has been added since then and plan run IP Filter on Solaris, I'd stick with the S10 release and patch accordingly. The main differences are the delivery of the smf(5) services and some S10 specific changes in pfil in the Solaris version. We are working on keeping the Solaris release closer to the Open Source and releasing more frequently. -Mike
