The documentation's always been pretty good. It probably has a lot more to do with any given admin's expectations of malleability. Some environments may be too complex for their own good but malleability matters.
I was reading on another board about some admin that claims to jumptart 500+ workstations at the same time once per year in less than 3 or 4 hours with tons of customizations that allow him to connect to the machines as they're jumping to get status on the progress of each system. Not sure if this type of scenario was considered by the designers of these subsystems. At this point I'm mostly doing installs with nameservice as NONE and handling all customizations in post jumpstart. Haven't had too much time to mess around with looking for a good solution to the ns_none manifest running on first boot which turns ldap off. Seann This message posted from opensolaris.org
