It does run with compatibility. The only issue is that Solaris 10 has more features than does Solaris 9 or 8, and software written and compiled for Solaris 8 can't necessarily take advantage of those new features. In this case, S10 (and up) has fine-grained privileges, while those older releases do not. That's not a failure of Solaris. If it were, we'd never be able to add a new feature ever again. :-/ -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
