Gotcha! On BFU'd systems (only), there's a /dev/lo device. That node is most definitely not DLPI -- it's a STREAMS SVr4 test driver used for the validation (SVVS) suite. It's not related to networking at all. The DLPI library doesn't realize that this node is spurious, and it tries to open it and talk to it as though it were a DLPI Style 2 driver ... and it times out when it doesn't respond. 10 seconds seems a bit extreme for a timeout here, but in any event, the library in use here should probably be a bit smarter, and should avoid trying to talk to the SVVS driver at all. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
