Or do I have it backwards and it's Linux that doesn't allow this?

Neither of them will allow you to modify a running binary. There is a
difference in implementation though, which is probably what you are
remembering. I can't remember the exact details of the different
though. I believe Linux would let you do some things that Solaris
would not involving different ways to replace the executable with
another or rename/remove it.

If anyone remembers it precisely, please post the details.
