Hi all,

FreeNX doesn't work out of box on Sun Solaris, so I made a patch for it 
and got it working on Solaris. The patch basically fixes some 
not-so-portable commands or command options, which are not supported on 
Solaris or some versions of Solaris such as `egrep -q', `ls 
--time-style', mktemp etc, and some other little things (md5sum etc). I 
also put together a little HOWTO here:

The patch can be downloaded from here:

FreeNX is great stuff, thanks to the FreeNX team! Please keep up the 
good work!

Enjoy!

Rongsheng
