It must be ok too under Solaris but as far as i have never tested the mc
Solaris engine before, you will have to verify this by your self. If all
the mc unixes engines are builded in the same way, this will probably be
ok. Perhaps will you have to ask some help about that to Scott to avoid
to have to use your old Linux box.

Your mc config is ok too if the permissions are set as needed. What i
meen in speaking about "an mc long running process" is the way to have
mc running in the background (even in console mode) as any other server
with the key ability to wait for the requests coming from Apache trough
the wmc.php (or wmc.xml, it's the same file in my previous post) without
to have to quit after each request as the simple ".mt" cgi scripts does.
Because this long running process mode, the mc-based web applications
server is able to handle persistant global variables alike flatfiles
databases, alike persistant sessions to the clients and so on. Is that
more clear, yet ?
