OS X is actually UNIX certified.
The latter missing I think some optional subsets. One difference I find annoying about Windows is how shares are handled differently on the client: with them only visible per-session. If I have a drive mapped to a server on the graphic session, and log in again via telnet, it's not visible in that session. More, mappings are different per-user (and have to be since I think authentication is only passed at the mapping time, or else becomes fixed then). This means everyone has a different view of the total set of filesystems - and drive letters rather than true mounts into a single tree encourage that. While there are cases where that might be useful, mostly it's a problem for network shares and local storage to behave differently in that regard. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
