    Hi everyone,

    In case you're still using my modified scsiinfo (my changes hadn't been
    merged, last time I checked), there's a new version available (not much
    has changed but it may make it easier for some using, esp if SFK 4.x is
    installed):

    http://step.polymtl.ca/~coyote/scsiinfo-4.7.0.11.tar.gz
    http://step.polymtl.ca/~coyote/scsiinfo-4.7.0.11.tar.gz (md5)

    MD5 Replicated here:
    f6468267c8995170a1bfac41b4b7e8b8 scsiinfo-4.7.0.11.tar.gz

    There are still two major outstanding issues:

    1) If you install patch 111095 (San Foundation Kit, verified with 4.3 -and
    4.4 which was released a few days ago),
    /usr/include/sys/fibre-channel/impl/fctl.h will be changed so the
    fc_port_t structure now references an fc_rnid_t structure. Problem is that
    fc_rnid_t is nowhere to be defined (Just opened service req 37097738 on
    this subject). I have included an ugly workaround at the top of qlc.c
    (fake an fc_rnid_t) so that it compiles and works. That is mostly harmless
    ( I guess ) since the fields I'm using in fc_port_t are located prior to
    the use of fc_rnid_t in the memory representation of fc_port_t.

    2) Although SUN has aknowledged that the C headers are missing for the
    'qus' driver, they are nowhere to be found at this time. I was told of
    internal bug reports that made mention of 'missing qus C headers' but
    qusvar.h, qusreg.h and qusmail.h still haven't shown up in either a
    SUNWhea patch or a SUNWqus patch. As a result of this, I cannot yet remove
    the fake qus header files from the distribution until I can point people
    to a patch with the real headers.. The consequence is that scsiinfo will
    think that 'qus' is supported on platforms lower than Solaris 8 and will
    not compile. Sorry about the inconvenience.. :(

    Thanks for reading....

    I have it in me so much nearer home
    To scare myself with my own desert places. - Robert Frost
