There was a very long discussion about this a couple of weeks ago on one of the lists. Apparently the decision was made to put the GNU utilities in default system wide path before the native Sun utilities in order to make it easier to attract Linux users by making the environment more familiar to them. It was apparently assumed that longtime Solaris users would quickly and easily figure out what the problem was and adjust the PATH to their liking. Whether or not this was a good idea remains to be determined. From my vantage, it makes about as much sense to make Solaris more Linux-y in order to attract more Linux users while annoying current Solaris users as it does to change the speedometers on cars in the US to metric in order to make it more comfortable for immigrants and tourists to drive. fpsm _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
