>From all I've read on this subject thread, this is purely a packaging issue. It's a matter of whether or not some extra entries get added to /etc/security/blahblah So whether or not the cdrecord binaries get compiled on solaris 8 or not, is irrelevant. It's just a matter of the postinstall script checking for which version of solaris it is installing to. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
