It's a bulk agreement: my strongest agreement was with the first two points (no install question; don't try to satisfy all parties). A specific, *supported* tool to rotate into some other convention is *not* needed. Pointing (from a FAQ or web page) to an unsupported script that loops through the interfaces invoking dladm(1M) would be nice, if one existed. - Stephen -- sch at sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/sch/
