Works fine for me. Been using it for a year now. Even survived an
upgrade from 2008.11 to 2009.06 -:)

The most time consuming thing I had to do was install the required perl
modules.
I did this via CPAN.

Make sure you have gcc and sunstudioexpress installed first.

Also, install the latest rsync.

Add the following repositories. these will give you more package
selection:

$ pfexec pkg set-authority -O http://blastwave.network.com:10000/
Blastwave
$ pfexec pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.sunfreeware.com:9000/
SunFreeware
$ pfexec pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/webstack
Webstack

To find a package just do a pkg search.
Such as pkg search rsync
>>From blastwave you would get something like:
INDEX      ACTION    VALUE                     PACKAGE
basename   file      opt/csw/bin/pentium/rsync pkg:/[email protected]

Use the package string to feed to 'pkg install'
      pkg install pkg:/[email protected]


I can also send you my http and backuppc config is you wish.

Thanks!
