This SYSV-ism predates Solaris. ... > One feature does not make a system into SYSV. But it also implies that the system can't be considered a 'pure BSD' system, since it obvious incoroporates various SYSV features, which up to this point have been the inclusion of 'install -d' and the above mount changes. SunOS4 != BSD, but neither does is it SysV. It's a hybrid, that happens to be more BSD'ish than SysV. Thank goodness they stuck with most of the BSD semantics. :) Nate
