Folks,

As we all know, the new /sbin/ipadm(1M) will allow to set/get few TCP/IP 
tunables/properties that were supported by /usr/sbin/ndd.

Today, to access or set TCP/IP network parameters, one needs 
PRIV_SYS_IP_CONFIG and it's defined in privileges(5)

---------
PRIV_SYS_IP_CONFIG

Allow a process to configure network parameters for TCP/IP using ndd. 
Allow  a  process  access  to otherwise restricted TCP/IP information 
using ndd.
---------------

Now should we restrict the output of following subcommands

(a) ipadm show-prop (show's module specific NDD properties)
(b) ipad show-ifprop (show's interface specific NDD properties)

like we do for ndd(1M), today?

However, for dladm(1M), with Sebastien's PSARC/2008/473 push, some of 
the 'dladm show-*' commands needs no privileges. What is the expected 
behavior here?

thanks
