Whoops, of course, when the response arrived back in my inbox I noticed this
was on openindiana-discuss, not the opensolaris-discuss I thought.   That
last bit referred to security-discuss at opensolaris.org, not an openindiana list.

(And of course OpenIndiana is another fork/replacement distro for the
discontinued OpenSolaris, but presumably you knew that when you mailed
the OpenIndiana mailing list.)
