I've used 5.1 un-patched on solaris 10 for some testing. It's not thatit doesn't \
work, it's just that it doesn't know anything about thesolaris 10 init and inetd \
systems. After installing it, you need touse the inetconv utility to convert the \
/etc/inetd.conf entries intosmf entries. I've never tried it on the server side, but \
                suspect itwill work just fine - as long as you get around the changes \
                sun made.
