Thanks. I'll follow up with the person who made the comment to find out his reasons for preferring this approach. I'll also make the change for the newly-introduced users, but unless he has *really* compelling reasons, I don't see the need to change dladm here. I'll file a bug if the change seems necessary. Follow-up will be on nwam-dev, where we've been having code review discussions. -renee
