Correct. After executing the above command if the user runs 'ifconfig', 
then I would presume there wouldn't be any output for net0. It's the 
world where you have both 'ipadm' and 'ifconfig', and the user using 
both of them interchangeably scares us.

'ifconfig' would show output for 'net0' only after above command is 
executed.
