Solaris 10 zones (was Re: I have a security-sensitive customer...)

[David Collier-Brown]

  I spoke to one of my Smarter Colleagues[tm], and Samba runs happily
in a Solaris 10 zone, and in a very unscientific test with
a locally mounted filesystem (not a network one!) is faster than
it was on Solaris 9. 

  My personal machines have mostly nfs-mounted filesystems underneath
Samba, so they're not a good test site (;-))
