     Here is a list of non-showstopper problems that I found (some of
these are generic, some are SVR4, and some are Sol 2.x):

- the filesystem I was using filled up
  - I recommend 'make clean' after 'make install' to reduce disk usage

- some status seems to be kept in the distribution directory; after the
  disk I was using filled up, I tried to unpack on another parttition and
  it didn't do a complete unpack causing the build to fail (I ended up
  redownloading)

- tin is compiled with default server of 'news.dal.ca' instead of the
  server listed in vars, and needs to be compiled with NNTP_ABLE

- pwedit used a '*' instead of an 'x' for the passwd in /etc/passwd
  - /etc/shadow was correct

- wtmp-rotate needs to handle /var/adm/wtmpx as well as /var/adm/wtmp

- /web/csuite/lib/zapline doesn't know anything about SVR4 tty handling

- complaints from SGMLfilter about errors in some unspecified file

- no support for NIS+

- guest account has blackouts by default
