Another uuid problem
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.

It checks for ifconfig, /sbin/ifconfig, and /usr/sbin/ifconfig (same
for arp). The problem is the os.pipe command doesn't hide these
issues. It doesn't cause the test to fail, but is still broken. The
test is presumably failing for the other reason I mentioned
(unixdll_getnode). Let me know if you see that when running with -v.

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.
