The plan is to stick with the nwam name. > I'm just wondering because I see things like "nwamcfg" and "nwamd" > mentioned in the spec. Something like "netcfg" or "netd" would seem more > intuitive. Yeah, the 'nwam' acronym is definitely not obvious. However, it's been around (both as an opensolaris project and as an smf service/daemon in solaris) for a while now, so I think renaming it would cause confusion. > Of course I see no problem with using nwam until such time as it > replaces traditional network configuration completely (assuming that is > the plan). ...and we're still working on what that future looks like! There will be much more discussion on this topic, as well as future projects. > (still reading through the spec) Excellent, thanks for taking a look at it.
