19 Yes, I did see that it's there. I'll build a Gentoo VM over the
20 weekend to use as an example to take a stab at getting it running in
21 my Solaris alt-prefix. I thought it best to start with a Netatalk
22 ebuild, because know it works on Solaris. :-) I've been using
23 Virtual Box for things I can't run under Solaris (like TwonkyMedia
24 Server, a commercial product). There are a few other things I'm
25 hoping I can get ebuilds going for so I can move them to native
26 Solaris.

31 I wouldn't be using Gentoo init scripts, I have xml manifest and a
32 script I can modify to put it under Solaris' Service Management
33 Facility.
