Dan, Thanks for the posting the doc -- I'm still reading it, but one question that I have at a high level is what the daemon itself is used for. In other words, this document talks about configuring the links and naming them, and storing that in SMF, and providing a nice API to examine things etc. But if the configuration is stored in SMF, the API itself could just be in effect a wrapper around libdlpi and libscf -- so what is the need for the daemon? (I assume there's something else going on here, but I didn't see it mentioned in the document -- sorry if I missed it) -Mike -- Mike Shapiro, Solaris Kernel Development. blogs.sun.com/mws/
