It's an accident looking for a place to happen.

If the problem can be avoided relatively easily, I'd recommend doing it. Yes, I agree that kmdb should be smarter here (or maybe redesigned if that's what's necessary), but adding new commands that just fly apart when used as directed won't make anybody happy. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[email protected]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
