Yes, as developers most of us _have_ moved on. The advantages of using SMF are pretty clear, and for new daemons, etc, being introduced into Solaris there isn't even a "we've always done it this way" argument to make. If I hear of a new service in Solaris, I _expect_ to be able to enable/disable, examine status, etc w/o having to read man pages. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance barts at cyber.eng.sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/barts "You will contribute more with mercurial than with thunderbird."
