No. Sorry for confusing you earlier, I missinterpretted you're earlier mail, I though it was a script you were using. zoencfg will always show the create -b, basically the default zone type is sparse, and we crate this by using the default blank template ( the -b bit ) then add teh inherited dirs to that to make it sparse, so zonecfg was correct and i missinterpreted it. bash-3.00# more CIS2-zone.cfg create -b set zonepath=/zones/CIS2 set autoboot=true add inherit-pkg-dir set dir=/lib end add inherit-pkg-dir set dir=/platform end add inherit-pkg-dir set dir=/sbin end add inherit-pkg-dir set dir=/usr end add inherit-pkg-dir set dir=/opt end add net set address=156.12.1.129 set physical=eri0 end bash-3.00# ***Thanks, ***F.V.(Phil) Porcella ***PS This is a bit confusing and I would appreciate any help you can offer.
