I can get it to work with all of Solaris 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, and 2.5.1 libraries.
I haven't tested 2.6 libraries, but they purportedly work.
Verify, again, that /dev contains all of the following, with these device
numbers. If these files are not in /dev, network connections will _not_
work (well, ptmx doesn't matter, but the rest do, particularly "tcp" and
"ti*").
crw-rw-rw- 1 bin bin 43, 10 Nov 5 1997 ptmx
crw-rw-rw- 1 bin bin 43, 37 Sep 7 1997 rawip
crw-rw-rw- 1 bin bin 43, 35 Sep 7 1997 tcp
crw-rw-rw- 1 bin bin 43, 38 Sep 7 1997 ticlts
crw-rw-rw- 1 bin bin 43, 40 Sep 7 1997 ticots
crw-rw-rw- 1 bin bin 43, 39 Sep 7 1997 ticotsord
crw-rw-rw- 1 bin bin 43, 36 Sep 7 1997 udp
These would be created if you did "sh /usr/share/examples/svr4/etc/MAKEDEV all"
as specified in a prior post and compat_svr4(8).
Also verify that /etc or /emul/svr4/etc contains a "netconfig" from either a
real SVR4 (Solaris) box or from /usr/share/examples/svr4/etc/netconfig.
