Hi Roland,
Please forward me any PSARC material info, including answers to
questions regarding documentation impact: man pages and
system administration documentation impact.
This project has greater impact that I originally thought, and since I
have extensive background or personal knowledge of
all the intricacies of this project and have not heard back from you
regarding how to proceed with updates to the documentation,
I need to start looking at the PSARC materials to determine where
to begin with documentation changes for this feature and who
else at Sun I might contact for assistance.
Thanks for your cooperation in advance.
