Did you give svccfg delete the FMRI of the service, or the instance? If the instance, then the instance would be deleted, but the service would be left. Most manifests are written with most of their properties on the service, to be inherited by the instances, so that would have left your dependencies. > I then > manually used svccfg to delprop the multi-user dependency.

However, from the command line 'svcs -l <service>' still shows > the multi-user dependency. svcs -l reads the information from the running snapshot. To update the running snapshot you must run "svcadm refresh <service>". David
