In my opinion, it's right as it is. Not everyone requires XPG4. > and system scripts should use > /usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/bin as PATH, not /usr/bin. Why?

You can do it with your own scripts. You have no reason (that I can see) to demand that others write their code to your restrictions. If you do have a reason, then please be specific about where the problem exists.

In some countries like Taiwan it is considered a > serious offense. The system is certainly able to handle multi-byte extensions without the changes you seem to be suggesting. It has been able to do so for quite some time. If not, please do file specific bugs outlining where the system fails to work properly. Claiming that it's offensive to Taiwan without providing specifics is just FUD -- totally unnecessary and unwelcome here. In other words, I just don't understand what you're asking for, or why. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[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 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
