FYI. I made some more minor changes to the case material, mostly to
address the arc review opinions for PSARC/2008/693 (VRRP). Specifically,
the changes are:
a. Change "-o no_preempt" to "-o un_preempt" for vrrpadm options (jdc-3).
b. Speicfy the characters restrictions for VRRP router names (the legal
characters in a router name are: alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) and
underscore ('_')) (jdc-2)
c. Add vrrp sysevent to the interface table (Consolidation Private). (jdc-5)
d. Change the path of vrrp.conf from /etc/vrrp.conf to /etc/inet/vrrp.conf
(comments during the code review)
e. Add more protocol details to vrrpadm(1M) manpage.(jdc-98)
Seb already helped me to put the new material to the case directory.
Thanks
