I know that their website says that they no longer support 2.6, but I just placed a call 2 months ago (Oct) to Sun for an NIS+ problem in a customer's Solaris 2.6 environment. After telling us that "support had been discontinued in July", they proceeded to assign 3 people to help us through rebuilding the credentials on each of the NIS+ servers/replicators.
Maybe it was because the customer still had a current support contract (or maybe it was a weekend and they had nothing better to do)?
"How do you know when you wake up in the morning that you are really the same person that went to bed the previous night? You don't have continuity of consciousness through the entire night. Maybe the "you" of yesterday died, and you are just a copy; how would you know?"
It doesn't. And I'm not sure how many customers would be pleased to find out that their mail was bounced after their CC expired on Friday and they didn't try to access their account until Monday (or in the event of a vacation, for 2 weeks).
At the ISP I work at, we simply change the shell in the user's password entry. The new shell will display a message explaining why they don't have access (non-payment, suspended, etc...), sleep for 10 seconds, and exit (disconnecting them if they are on a dial-up). Then we have pop3/imap modified to check/etc/shells to see if the customer is allowed to access their email.

Truly Funny!
I would mod you up if I had points.
Does this mean that the boycott of Sony has ended?
