I'm pretty sure no one is running netatalk on suns under anything later
than SunOS 4.1.3. This is (presumably) the last BSD-based version of
SunOS. We have Solaris 2.0 running on one of our test machines. The
similarities to SunOS 4.X are few and far between. Since Solaris 2.X
is based on SysV Unix, the kernel structure has changed significantly.
Moreover, things like socket(2) and send(2) are now libraries.
The next release of netatalk (1.3) will not initially support Solaris
2.X. We do hope to have support for Solaris 2.X eventually, either by
doing the work here or incorporating changes from people on the net.
