Here is another, interesting wrinkle: Looking at /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, I notice that a whole bunch of seemingly unrelated utilities appear to be just hard links to a shared file. ( ls -il reveals a shared inode number, same size, and the same link count to groups of them).
I am guessing that some groups of these utilities go through common front end code, that then dispatches to the correct bits based on argv0. Could someone confirm this? This would explain why recompiling ztest and zdb and copying the new bits into /usr/bin and /usr/sbin respectively resulted in a whole bunch of my utilities "becoming zdb". -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
