[OpenIndiana-discuss] SunRay on hipster; was Surprising bug (???) migrating a root pool

The problem is certainly the "development" model a certain OS/Net version OpenIndiana/Hipster is based on (something like, remove all stuff which somebody who proudly stated that he never runs Illumos on the Desktop *believes* is legacy).

We saw many individual cases of broken stuff as a result, from Flash-plugin over Xsun-drivers to Sun-DHCP and hence among other things SRSS.

However, if you want I can repeat these tests for you on Hipster x86/x64 (last time I dealt with SRSS was in 2015 on OpenSXCE x86/x64 and sparc). Thanks to the helpful community member who back then guided me through this and offered me not only a donation but also the bins for download  :)

If someone interested I could successfully run SRSS on /hipster with the 
following workarounds:

1) removed all references to dhcp configs or dhtadm from SRSS scripts
(/opt/SUNWut/lib/dhcp/edhcp/utdhcpservice , 
/opt/SUNWut/lib/dhcp/edhcp/utdhcpopt , /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utadm, 
/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utfwadm )
We use ISC DHCP for Sun Ray networks.
2) created /etc/hostname.bnx0 file with my hostname (however, ipadm is 
used to configure network interfaces)
3) utpolicy -a -D -z both (perhaps, unnecessary, but we anyway use it )
4) utcrypto -a auth_up_type=none (without this got 44D)
5) Added X11 font paths to /etc/opt/SUNWut/X11/fontpath (earlier, IIRC 
SRSS read /etc/X11/XF86Config)
6) Added to  /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias
fixed   "-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1"
