Associated with the large heat conduction in the solar wind is a skewing of the ion and electron distribution functions. It is shown that this collisional skewing of the electron distribution function can linearly excite collisionless ion-acoustic, electrostatic ion cyclotron, magnetoacoustic, and ion cyclotron waves in the steady-state solar wind even though the net equilibrium current parallel to B is zero. The initial growth rates for these unstable waves are derived, and the effectiveness of the wave-particle interactions in heating the ions and in altering the thermal and electrical conductivities is discussed.
