> First off, both the x86 and the sparc package advertise themselves as x86 -- which isn't too bad, since Solaris' packaging couldn't care less, but might be confusing to the careful admin who installs the package.
> Next, the pre-install script is broken on Solaris 10, since Solaris 10's ``id'' doesn't know either of the ``-u''  or ``-n'' switches. One could evade this by using /usr/bin/xpg4/id -- but who guarantees that's installed?
> ``getent'' is always installed. Unless you managed to break the libc/Sun-Core installation. It should also work on all (Unix) platforms, so here's the patch:
