[M3devel] Fwd: Solaris at last

[John Polstra]

Hmm, I assume it's not just something simple like forgetting to run 
CVSup as root, or running it as root unintentionally.

CVSup passes users and groups as names, not numbers.  If there were bugs 
in CM3's getpwdent family of functions, it would cause problems. 
Probably no other application uses those functions, so CVSup could 
easily discover new bugs in them.
