Can you explain why '+1,000,000'? Is it because it makes it possible to answer this particular question (what process is listening on a port), or is there some other greater functionality beyond pfiles(1) + this RFE that this would provide? I ask because the interfaces lsof uses (namely /dev/kmem) are too brittle to suport in any coherent fashion. Integrating LSOF would be more than checking in code. We'd have to provide stable interfaces (or at last *an* interface that could be contracted) and modify the lsof code to use those, which is a non-trivial amount of work. - Eric -- Eric Schrock, Solaris Kernel Development http://blogs.sun.com/eschrock
