I'm trying to run Merlin-3.2-RC2 on a Sun Solaris 5.7 host and get the
following exception when starting up:
org.apache.avalon.util.env.EnvAccessException: Failed to access null

---- runtime exception report

Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException
Message: ---- runtime exception report
--------------------------------------------------
Internal error while attempting to access MERLIN_HOME environment.
Tracking through the org.apache.avalon.util.env.Env.getUnixUserShell code,
it looks like
is won't work on systems like Solaris which use NIS for the password file,
where users
are not kept in the /etc/passwd file.
Is there a workaround for this? Perhaps Merlin shouldn't attempt to read
the MERLIN_HOME
environment variable if the System property "merlin.home" is set.
