thanks, that was of no help whatsoever in this technical discussion.

if you prefer it that way, I'd suggest opening a service call for your
contract once the next Solaris version has been released to seek
support on behalf of the OpenAFS project.

you may also consider funding a project for OpenAFS Solaris port
to rip out the syscall misuse and change it to use a driver's ioctl
which is the only offical way to achive the technical needs.
