Last year, alex noordergraf (sp) posted something to one security list
I'm subscribed to and mentionned some updates for sol 10. Not sure if
he was talking about a new version of his old (2001) blueprint.

I know JASS has been fully supporting sol 10 since last august:

But that's just a starting point.

BTW, for Lionel, watching a DVD under Solaris is basically:
pkg-get -i goggles (from blastwave)
plus a wget for libdvdcss + pkgadd
