that still leaves a mess in the kernel (and even in the user-semantics). Let's take the icmp error rate limit as an example. If I say # ipadm set-prop -p icmp_err_rate_limit=val1 bge0 # ipadm set-prop -p icmp_err_rate_limit=val2 bge0 while supporting the # ndd -[set,get] /dev/ip old_icmp_err_rate_limit <..> what is the kernel going to track for the older "global" definition? No matter what I print for the global "ndd -get" value, it's going to be a lie. --Sowmini
