Solaris

The Solaris bundled package can't be updated but it can be removed and an alternate third party, up to date package can be installed instead of it, or even built from source. I already suggested a location where to find such an openssh package in post #2.

So you did, apologies!

I have lots of reading to do, clearly. I have some plans for it. I'm upgrading it with an Ultra 10 case, 1Mb RAM, 60 gig SSD and Solaris 8. I may fit a 440mhz processor card too, because it's got 2mb of L2 cache. Will see how fast it is without, first.

My problem is that, while I used Solaris and OpenDesktop professionally as a software developer, I never did any system admin. Employers didn't tend to hand root passwords to devs back then! So it's new direction for me, and a more intimate relationship with the OS.

It'll be fun...

In the meantime, thanks for your advice.
