The SEAM packages in Solaris are based on MIT, though they are not 
identical, there are
some minor differences.    Solaris 9 SEAM does not have TCP support, 
which is needed
to work with Windows 2003 server.   There are workarounds, as others 
have pointed out.

I'm not sure if we have a patch for Solaris 9, but I do know that 
Solaris 10 has TCP support
and does not suffer the same problems as the Solaris 8 and 9 versions.
