Wow, I always thought Solaris was the last to distribute new tools! Yep. In the short term, you could maintain the old allow/unallow C code. The kernel interfaces haven't changed, and no new functionality has been added, so that should work fine. You could also use the python code, but notify people that certain subcommands will only work once you install the python package. --matt
