Hi, I am maintaing mutt on Solaris for OpenCSW and there is some discussion going on about the best placement of the mutt configuration files like Muttrc. The problem arises when there have been multiple zones installed as "sparse zones". A zone in Solaris terminology is similar to a BSD Jail, isolating processes between the zones and allowing similar or different network configurations of each zone on a machine. A "Sparse Zone" inherits some directories from the global zone, making these very space efficient. However, to make the implementation secure these inherited directories are read-only from within the zone.
Now here is the question: Would it be more likely that all zones share the same mutt configuration or would a typical administrator adjust each of them individually? Thanks for your time and best regards -- Dago
