Or the admin decides to run DHCP server outside of SMF, dhcp-server service is deleted and its manifest is removed from the system(similar to pre-S10 case). In this case, we really want to find out whether dhcp server was enabled. Is this even possible? dhcpsvc.conf(4) suggests DAEMON_ENABLED though I'm not positive that's the right option. I maybe splitting hair here as Darren's logic is good for most use cases. cheers, tony
