)a)  find someone who has compiled the server for SunOS,

It would be a nice idea to have the server accept a -f option for its
config file, and figure out where the rest of its files are from the
config file.  Similar to the way Apache works.  Hard-coding the path 
into the binary breaks in a number of situations, including this one.
It's good to have a hard-coded path, but you should be able to override it.
