update_phishing_sites on solaris 10

[Eugene MacDougal]

 Thanks Julian.

And for the record, "/usr/sfw" is where SUN puts software that they obtained
from Sunfreeware.com and repackaged.  Software obtained at
sunfreeware.comby yourself does go into "/usr/local".  the "sfw"
stands for "Sun FreeWare"

I have added /usr/sfw/bin to the $PATH in that program. Solaris 10 has
changed a lot of things!

        I'm running MS 4.60.8 on Solaris 10 and had the following problem
with
        update_phishing_sites:

        # ./update_phishing_sites
        ./update_phishing_sites: wget: not found
        ./update_phishing_sites: curl: not found
        Cannot find wget or curl to do phishing sites update.

        I knew that I had wget installed so I checked the PATH in the update
        script.  Solaris 9 and 10 have a "/usr/sfw/bin" where it puts
software
        that was obtained through sunfreeware.com <http://sunfreeware.com> <
http://sunfreeware.com>
        (mostly gnu type stuff).



    Not true, /usr/sfw/bin is the standard Sun location for open source
software
    included with Solaris.  Anything you get from sunfreeware is installed
under
    /usr/local.

    You only need to modify the PATH if you are using the programs installed
by
    Solaris, usually old versions (very old in the case of Solaris 9).  If
you had
    newer ones from sunfreeware you wouldn't need to change the PATH.
