Re[2]: Solaris 2.6 not y2k ready (?)

["Richard Gombert" <Richard.Gombert@alltel.com>]

     I'm replying to the list so all will see.
     
     We have a couple of very critical systems running 2.6 and these were 
     fully tested and monitored over the rollover. No problems were 
     detected. These are 7x24 systems that are in full production mode 7x24 
     (no downtime) with feeds to other systems every 60 seconds.
     
     Sun released a Y2K tool called SunScan which we used each update to 
     check the systems.
     
     Today is day 3 and still no problems.

It was a while back (>6 months) in some of Sun's printed literature,
I believe. Solaris is such a small part of our operation that I haven't 
pursued it further, but it's nice to know that they're willing to speak 
for versions <2.6.
