Dear prospective sunmanagers poster,

Before posting, please stop for a minute and consider whether or not your
posting is suitable for Sunmanagers.  The list is not intended for just any
possible question related to managing Sun equipment or software.  The only
appropriate questions for Sun Managers are time-critical questions about Sun
system management problems that are not answered in the manuals or system
documentation, or in the Sunmanager's FAQ.

In particular, the following kinds of postings are not appropriate:

	- Subscribe and unsubscribe messages.  Point your web browser to
	  http://www.sunmanagers.org instead.
	- Test messages of any sort.
	- Discussions about anything, including discussions about the list
	  itself, or followups to any posting, with the exception of a single
	  summary to one's own question summarizing the email responses.  Use
	  instead one of the Sun newsgroups, eg.  comp.sys.sun.admin,
	  comp.sys.sun.hardware or comp.unix.solaris.
	- Replies to any SunManagers posting, even if the reply is a
	  separate question.  Please send a separate message instead.
	- Postings not related to Sun equipment or software.  Use the
