I've definitely seen this and perhaps it speaks for a need for a clear pointer to the Sun Managers mailing list. Perhaps a read-only jive gateway to Sun Managers list would be beneficial. Please don't lump those people in with the people that primarily use Solaris (10 and earlier) and are hoping to engage the community to help shape OpenSolaris. From a practical standpoint, these people are likely trying to shape OpenSolaris to get favorite bug fixes or features in Solaris. So long as its give and take (not take and take) I see it as beneficial to OpenSolaris. Mike -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/
