How would we get around the fact that the global zone /etc might have information we do not want the local zones to have? ike keys, ipsec information, possibly some hostnames and addresses, configuration in /etc/dt, apache configuration, lots of things come to mind. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Jan Parcel, Sustaining, Trusted OE Internal Trusted Support Pages: http://trusted.sfbay
