Yes remove the tcp part from the FMRI at least, but there may also be a better place in the hierarchy for example: svc:/application/management/npre:default svc:/network/nrpe:default It isn't the ARC's place to design this for you, ask for advice in the SMF community smf-discuss at opensolaris.org. -- Darren J Moffat
