No worries, I kinda wondered if I shouldn't have trimmed before I replied..

So the important thing to note here is that it does potentially use passwords, but they're not stored, and they're transmitted and used in the same manner as other mysql commands might use it (i.e. it can be specified on the command line, goes over the wire encrypted, etc) > > <snip> >>> >>> 4.0 Interfaces >>> 4.1 Exported Interfaces >>> Interface Name Classification Comments >>> ---------------- ------------------- >>> --------------------------- >>> SUNWsysbench Uncommitted Package >>> >>> /usr/benchmarks/sysbench/sysbench >>> Uncommitted Executable binary file >>> >> >> PSARC 2007/448 set the precedent that this should probably be >> /usr/benchmarks/sysbench/bin/sysbench >> > Understood, and I'll make the change.

That's a closed case. :) Personally, I think "/usr/benchmarks/sysbench/bin/sysbench" is a bit mealy mouthed. I'm not sure why it's not "/usr/benchmarks/bin/sysbench", but it looked like the discussion was long and somewhat heated, so I'm sure it's the best call made by smarter folks than me. Now, though, I'm kinda curious what came out in 2007/461 ...
