-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Kern,
I run bacula-dir and bacula-sd on Solaris 9 on a UE450 and bacula-fd on Solaris 10, on a V20z. As Solaris support is vital to me -- and certainly a large percentage of the userbase -- I'd be willing to help in any way that I can. I am not a programmer, and really would be completely unqualified to fix coding problems, but I can do pretty much anything else (and do have some spare hardware to work with -- and, in the case of Solaris 10, might be able to provide a Solaris zone with tape drive access for testing). I don't have a /huge/ amount of time, but probably enough for whatever you'd need. I'm sure delayed is better than "not at all." How can I help out best? ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - User Support Spec.
