I had Listserv 14.5 working with Solaris 10 up until I tried to convert
the startup script to the new SMF format.  I don't recall having any
problems with it when it was still using the legacy startup scripts,
however it's been a couple of months since I've worked on it.

Is there anyone else out there that has Listserv and Solaris 10 playing
nicely (and using SMF)?  I'm going to have some questions of my own in a
few days if I can't figure out my own issues. :)

Graham,

I could not get Listserv 14.5 to work with Solaris_10. I had to use
Solaris_9. Everything works properly in Soalris_9.

Subject: Problem starting ListServ via init script

Hello,

I am running a Solaris 10 box.

When I restarted the box, the script that runs ListServ doesn't load 
properly, hence preventing all of the other rc3 init scripts from 
loading properly.

The script will run properly if I run it from the command line.

Here is part of the output from 
/var/svc/log/milestone-multi-user-server:default.log:

Thanks in advance!
