BTW, I know this has worked this way since Solaris 8 and works this way to this day, but looking at net-physical, I cannot see how this works at all! There's code in net-init that plumbs IP tunnel interfaces, but there's no code that I can see in net-physical that prevents them from being plumbed there... I must be missing something (perhaps shell scripting magic that escapes me.) -Seb
