I don't think that Solaris's tar hits the bug every time. Do you think Oracle (nee Sun) would ship something that failed 100% of the time instead of 0.1% of the time?
bug? no, this is not a bug. native posix tar doesn't read gzip files, gzip does. gnu tar munged gzip into tar to create a hybrid. gunzip -c filename.tar.gz | tar xvf - or gunzip filename.tar.gz tar xvf filename.tar works just great on Solaris and any other Unix platform. -- john r pierce N 37, W 123 santa cruz ca mid-left coast ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
