Right, but I thought the whole discussion centered on what race would exist if we were to change daemonization to be after all of the above. Assuming proper SMF dependencies, it shouldn't happen since the linkmgmtd service won't be considered online until after daemonization, at which point it will be ready. Any door requests that come in before then are spurious. -- meem
