Hi William, Thanks for the comments...
For the ZFS comments: 1. Good comment about pointing to Tim's blog instead of the script directly. 2. The user account that is created during the OpenSolaris installation has root privileges. For example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop$ roles root So, for a student installing the Back to School Kit its probably best to create a personal user account for papers, etc. For the general comment: Please explain how pfexec is safer. :-) Thanks, Cindy (William) Brian Leonard wrote: > Hi Kathy: > > Is the intent to keep this command line focused?
