You should declare the manifest to be in the "manifest" class. On Solaris 10 Update 2 (or Solaris 10 with patch 121901 or 121902), the manifest will be installed with the i.manifest class action script, which will appropriately install your manifest, even on another root. (This is implemented by simply copying the manifest into /var/svc/manifest, and allowing the manifest-import service to import the manifest on boot.) David
