It's bad only because you're modifying the running system, and that itself is arguably an inherently bad thing no matter what precautions are taken. A better and safer answer is to modify an alternate boot environment (with everything still up and running), and then switch environments. With ZFS root, this should become very low cost: zfs snapshot, clone, write changes, and switch. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
