Hi David & Darren - I'm not sure if this was ever responded to, I'm sorry about that. You might be able to install S8 SUNWcry(*) packages on S10, but they won't have the desired effect - they contain completely different binaries than what shipped in the S10 SUNWcry* packages. But, the best solution for you in the mean time is to get these binaries from the SUNWcry & SUNWcryr packages in the on-closed-bins.*.tar files. (which is a slight misnomer, because these are not actually closed source files, but they are not normally included in the distribution) Those are available here: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/current/ Valerie -- Valerie Fenwick, http://blogs.sun.com/bubbva Solaris Security Technologies, Developer, Sun Microsystems, Inc. 17 Network Circle, Menlo Park, CA, 94025. 650-786-0461
