Don't see many posts here but hey, I'll pop the cherry if you don't mind ;)
Question: I am very new to Solaris and I have a problem now: How to open RAR file in solaris?
Can some one let me know how I can open a RAR file in solaris?
RAR is a compression format in windows and all windows users will need it when they come to open solaris.
Thank you.

Unrar itself; freeware.

The Gnome Archive Manager (File Roller 2.20.0) has RAR support.

It at least knows how to open and extract files from a RAR archive.
I'm not sure the decryption stuff works but let us know if you try it.

/usr/bin/file-roller

should do it.
