Lots of those tools have (or have had) internal versions floating around for years :) sudo you might get some pushback, as Sun already has rbac (and has been shipping it since, I believe, S7 or S8) instead of top we now have "prstat", which seems to serve the same pupose (though it's been years since I used top, so maybe it has some newer bells & whistles that make it cooler) These all appear to be in the companion CD already, so packaging already exists: SFWgawk SFWprcml SFWncur (screen) etcetra I'm not sure what the process would be to take stuff from the Companion CD & move them into the SFW consolidation (or what the particular advantage would be) Valerie -- Valerie Bubb, http://blogs.sun.com/bubbva Solaris Security Technologies, Developer, Sun Microsystems, Inc. 17 Network Circle, Menlo Park, CA, 94025. 650-786-0461
