Brian,
I've not followed along for a while, so excuse my ignorance.
How will this relate to/affect things like the recent work in
uadmin(1M) to bring the system down properly with relationship
to the audit subsystem? I've left this intact and Cc-ed Randy
because recently he said that he was doing stuff in this area
relative to lid closure events. I believe there's also some
work going on to EOF sys-suspend(1M) (/usr/openwin/bin/sys-syspend).
Is there any relationship with that project?
Thankx,
Gary..
