Re: Solaris 8: out of memory

Hi, przemol,

I recently posted a message on comp.unix.solaris asking whether spaces around = in the set commands in /etc/system on Solaris are allowed. Pretty much nobody thinks it matters. But I clearly remember once we wanted to allow regular users to chown and we added set rstchown = 0 and it didn't work. After we changed it to set rstchown=0 and rebooted, it worked.

Can anyone using Solaris in this newsgroup check your /etc/system? Can you leave spaces around =? Note that if you have spaces, it's possible the setting is simply ignored rather than causes problems during reboot.
