Here's a fun experiment for all the folks at home to try.

1) Install a server using the latest build of OpenSolaris.
2) Set it up as a NIS server, create an account with a default shell.
3) Install a client with Solaris 10
4) Make that client use NIS from the OpenSolaris system for passwords, 
home directory, etc.
5) Login on the Solaris 10 system, with your home directory mounted via NFS.

Enjoy.

Darren
