Well, if you browse Solaris' known security vulnerabilities on (for example) securityfocus, you will see there are plenty of them. You can find 3 times as much known holes in Solaris 7 (2.7 renumbered) as, for example, in Linux Redhat 6.1 - not to mention Debian Potato. Not that this is a good way to evaluate a system's level of security, though, but that shows that assertions about Solaris being a "pretty damn secure" OS should be taken with a pich of salt...
And, yeah, despite Sunsolve, our Solaris servers were cracked a few times, using buffer overflows problems (rpc.ttserverdb) or bad security checks (ff.core) from the system.
anyway, the above post was clearly a troll.
