Hello all,
Firstly, many thanks to all of you who attended the November LOSUG meeting. I am sure that you all found it very
interesting and informative. Many thanks indeed to Gavin Maltby for a great presentation.

Ganesh,
Yes this agent was developed using SEA. The SSAxxx api is used to register the
agent and trees.
Doesn't this document

Upgrading Solaris versions won't touch the /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file, so
you should be fine.

Not quite true. Upgrade can change those files, I know I've written
some of the code that does it! However it won't (modulo bugs in the
code I wrote and others evolved)

To summarize my experience and what others have alluded to, my suggestion is to
start with Nexenta since you are used to apt-get and Linux. However, much like
most Linux folks don't start with Gentoo but end up there, keep you eye on
learning enough to migrate to a more production-like [Open]So

OK Rich, if "Sun's Solaris" is based on OpenSolaris, meaning it is Sun's

As far as I am concerned, current Solaris is another distribution of
OpenSolaris, most notably Sun's dsitribution of it.
However it looks like we're trying to put as much distance between Sun's
OpenSolaris distro and OpenSolaris.

Very simply, Sun takes what is in OpenSolaris, removes some stuff

Hah,

I simply followed the Brand Z community's instructions and left the

Only real question is that when I've logged in to the system using

did you make sure to enable remote x access via the xhost(1) command

Yes.
However, because of Gtk's refusal to report what DISPLAY, it looks like
it's not seeing the DISPLAY variable at all.

Hi,
I don't play in OpenSolaris. I'm not a developer any more. I work for
Sun and I love Solaris and have lived and breathed and eaten and dreamt
it for almost 16 years. I cannot tell you how much I and all of Sun
appreciate your efforts and blood in the trenches. You are our bretheren.
That
awesome. thank you.
