The right answer is probably a config method for smf. That's a bigger project that we have time for right now. For now, I'd like to suggest the following: Each package that wishes to install a sysidconfig method delivers a symbolic link to it in /etc/.sysidconfig.dir. We modify /lib/svc/method/sysidtool-net to first rebuild the /etc/.sysidconfig.apps file using the target of the files in/etc/.sysidconfig.dir if its modification time is newer than /etc/.sysidconfig.apps, prior to invoking sysidconfig. Packages could then deliver the symbolic links and no post-install or other special actions would be required. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/barts "You will contribute more with mercurial than with thunderbird." _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
