The two are actually separate issues. I should have made that clearer. If there's a convenience function, then it'll still need a name and (as a tiny nit only) I think avoiding "_np" might be a good idea. Regardless of whether or not there's a convenience function to set this flag, I'm not sure that using an entire property group as though it were a boolean is the right thing to do in SCF. That's an architectural issue, and (at least for starters) I'd like to know if this issue was discussed with the SMF team. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> 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
