Let's take a closer look at OpenSolaris, particularly its use of ZFS, network problems that people have reported, the use of bash, and differences between OpenSolaris and Solaris and Solaris Express. Note: This is the latest article in our OSNews Article Contest.

Porting a driver and actually making sure it release ready are very different things. Your ignorance is very evident as well. [/q]
So.... speaking of OpenBSD...
How come Solaris's SSH is so broken, much more broken than the OpenSSH port to Solaris (build from openssh.com or get from sunfreeware). No ForwardX11Trusted, PermitUserEnvironment is supported now but the --with-default-path is anemic and there's no proper way to set default environment vars for users (rsync via ssh fails without --with-rsync-path), no ControlMaster, etc.
And yet as mickrussom pointed out before, Sun broke X11 forwarding recently and apparently has yet to withdraw the patch. No one's bothered to set up an automated regression test for X11 forwarding via SSH yet?
Yeah, Sun sure has something to teach the OpenBSD people about release readiness.
