No, he has been a VAX Admin for 8 years and then moved over to System V
about 4 years ago, but the dept. he was in never upgraded it, so he has
been
using the version they first installed 4 years ago.  He has just
recently
starting using Solaris... which is a new learning curve for him.

BTW - I was able to catch him this afternoon and found that he had
rebooted
the workstation with the Solaris CD to rebuild, but never got around to
actually doing it, so I was able to catch him before he rebuilt it.

Thanks
