While on this topic, does anyone know anything about SIMS (Solaris Internet Mail Server)?
After upgrading the root drive, my mail didn't work, complaining the box was read-only
so now I'm back to the original drive.
I'm thinking now I'll stick with the original drive unless anyone knows of a solution?
I copied the drives with ufsdump and piped output to ufsrestore, and I did the installboot thing,
so everything else worked.
