I believe that the Air Force is using it - I used to work in HQ Consulting, and the initial work on ARM was done there by Kevin Fox. You may want to contact them about who is using it.

I just got it. Plan on installing it by the months end.
On paper it looks like its everything we've been looking for.

We're using it, at the expense of some processing power (the system gets a bit slower and if something goes wrong, you have to manulally correct some control files). If you're the one and only administrator at your network, you won't find the time to operate it too! --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Antonis Kyriazis antonis@intranet.gr | | S/W Design Center sil.icm.icmakyr@memo.ericsson.se | | UNIX networks & comms adm. phone: (01) 66 44 961-5 | | INTRACOM sa (01) 88 43 715 | | 19.5 km Marcopoulo Ave. fax: (01) 66 44 379 | | PEANIA 190 02 (01) 66 43 718 | | Greece | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I only installed it on one machine so far. One problem I have is that I keep getting the following message:
Jan 7 10:05:34 sasun1 rpc.armd[130]: filesystem containing "/var/adm/armd_trans" is above (75%), please create space Jan 7 10:06:35 sasun1 rpc.armd[130]: filesystem containing "/var/adm/armd_struct" is above (75%), please create space
Since, I can't go below 90%, it is kind of annoying. Even more so because those messages go into /var/adm/messages which of course fills up the file system even more! I haven't called Sun on this one yet, so it may be solvable.
