Even though Solaris 9 is not currently supported, a modified install script is available that allows you to install eDirectory 8.7 on Solaris 9 into test systems. Do not install eDirectory 8.7 into production systems on a Solaris 9 machine. The filename is edir87sol9.tgz and is available in the eDirectory 8.7 Beta Patches section of support.novell.com.
