Thanks for the reply and info.

I will do this and see if there’s any clues in the debug output.

No - same error “Unknown error”.  This is what makes me think there is some common code that’s unable to open sockets on Solaris.

Do you know what option this is ?  I probably scrolled past it, but I did look for something to disable it.
