That makes it difficult to do innovation, since we need to convince other OSes to use our technology before you will use it :-). So far we've succeeded w/ DTrace and ZFS; while many OS developers like SMF because it solves a bunch of hard problems, many system admins have complained loudly. Personally, I now hate dealing w/ pre-S10 systems, since i have to remember how to enable/disable each sub-system separately... and I have to redo that every time I update the OS on the box. W/ SMF, I always know where my log files are, how to do basic admin and (above all), I can now log into my machine when the building yp servers are completely fubar'd. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance barts at cyber.eng.sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/barts "You will contribute more with mercurial than with thunderbird."
