I know that when putting together my own manifests, I've been able to use the 
"dependency" configuration to say that my service depends upon some other as 
well as (IIRC) "dependent" to say that some other service is dependent upon my 
own. (Eg, if I wanted ssh to be dependent upon some service I'd written, I 
would list ssh as a dependent in my own manifest rather than changing ssh's 
manifest lest it be overwritten by a patch.)

My question is thus:  Is it possible (via svccfg) to add a 'dependent' stanza 
to an existing SUNW-provided manifest and have it be persistent through 
patches?  In this particular case, I'd like to have network/ssh (and SRSS if I 
ever change that to run via SMF rather than init scripts) be dependent upon 
zones being up and running as my KDCs are in local zones.

Thanks,

-Coy
