I just tried building and testing 2.5 on a Solaris 10 box at work. The uuid
test failed with
sh: ifconfig: not found
sh: ifconfig: not found
sh: ifconfig: not found
sh: arp: not found
sh: ifconfig: not found
sh: ifconfig: not found
sh: ifconfig: not found
sh: arp: not found
In our environment at least it's uncommon for /usr/sbin to be in the PATH of
non-privileged users:
piggy:% type -a ifconfig
-bash: type: ifconfig: not found
piggy:% PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin type -a ifconfig
ifconfig is /usr/sbin/ifconfig
Perhaps test_uuid needs to do a little investigation to find ifconfig and
arp.
