Good to know; I'm definitely looking forward to this. 1024 will hopefully suffice for at least a while :). > The "change request", then. It must have a bug id. The only number I have unique to my request is the SR #. There has been no bug opened, and as I mentioned they are referring to an existing RFE regarding increasing the maximum number of groups supported by the operating system (these references are in the thread I forwarded you directly) which is simply not relevant. In fact, it appears my service request has been marked as "canceled" without my knowledge, leaving pretty much no official trail of my request :(. > Well, I can understand the sense of that. (Not for OpenSolaris, but for > S10) A backport cost a bit so perhaps that's what they want to avoid. I can't see the cost of applying a three line patch as being particularly high, but I guess there is some inherent cost in quality control, testing, and packaging a patch. But upstream just released some security fixes for the 3.0.x branch, which hopefully they're going to incorporate and release in a patch, and the incremental cost of adding in my simple fix must be negligible. -- Paul B.
