I believe it is a mistake to concentrate on the GNU coreutils tools. Opensolaris would alienate users from OSX and BSD platforms with an API which roughly changes every six months. It'd be better if Opensolaris starts its own Solaris coreutils project than being at the GNU maintainers ''mercy''.

hello all, i'm surprised that gnu chmod is installed, what are the advantages comparing to solaris chmod? It's very annoying when using ACLs. No reason; several of the GNU utilities are broken in some way in Solaris; change your $PATH and remove /usr/gnu/bin. Casper
