Looking at the SMF properties for IPFilter, one of the entries is presented like this:
config/entities fmri file://localhost/etc/ipf/ipf.conf If I wanted to use http:// here, is this an appropriate property to use or should this one be deprecated and another used? Which leads on to the real question and desire... If I want to store a file location in an SMF property, I'd like to be able to use that file location from a manifest without having to build knowledge of how to interpret the string as a URI into the manifest. Hmmm, in case that sounds like double dutch, as an example of what I'd like to be able to do in the startup script for ipfilter is the following $configfile = smf_fetchfile(`svcprop -p config/entities svc:/network/ipfilter`) ipf -f $configfile In this instance, smf_fetchfile would retrieve a file via http, if required, and return some kind of local pathname. smf_fetchfile would be something provded by /lib/svc/share/smf_include.sh RFE material? Or not in the direction being considered? Darren
