Hi, your patch is similar to mine but may not be very portable. I would 
highly suggest that you link it to blastwave (And implement blastwave 
like package dependency as there are too many pit falls the way you are 
doing and breaking all sun dir heir structure for the third party 
application). Upgrading this version will also be a bit problematic...

I've created a Sun SPARC package (under contract). I'll see if I can 
submit my patches (which need to be applied to NX and FreeNX). As the 
work involved (Supporting Solaris 8, 9 and 10) is too complicated, there 
needs to be some packaging consistency.

Also note that Sun did not ship with a version of SSH in Solaris 8, so 
we need to install (or suggest) to install OpenSSH (Solaris 8 can be a 
nightmare if you think about it *grin*). Solaris 8, 9 and 10 have weird 
passwd gecos fields which need to be played with during nx user setup 
(*LK* vs. *NP*).

My two cents.
