I'm afraid using the RC scripts on the backend to the SMF frontend interfaces would result in inconsistent operations and would fuzzy users' mental models. Maybe it wouldn't be too bad if svcadm said "warning, this is a legacy service, I'm just running the rc script, things aren't guaranteed to work like native services". David
