I have attached the proposed changes and addition to the SMF FAQ. delta.txt is the change, smf_faq_next.txt is the whole thing.
* denotes changes to the original. X denotes proposal to withdraw. No mark is new. I want to withdraw 3.12 because the description for this case is confined, and the answer given is unsatisfactory. I have doubts about 1.13, I think saying that /var/svc/log is the location for SMF log is unnecessary. I do not want to see this FAQ become the kitchen sink in that at every revision more stuff is thrown in but nothing is ever taken out. There should be an attempt to keep this relevant and up-to-date. A user should not have to slog through pages of out-dated information to find one thing he needs. So, I'm all for trimming, trimming, and trimming. I realize there are *still* stuff from Bernd's old suggestion list that I have not included. I just don't have time. Everything new has been tested, and as far as I can tell, they work. Additions are made by appending to the old section to make it easy on whoever has to update the FAQ page. Therefore, you may not see questions presented in the most logical order. For example, Section 1. GENERAL starts out very nicely with files, directories, and commands, and then leaps a mile to end up with location of files and documentation. I'm sorry about that, it just takes too much work move the questions around and doctor up the numbers. Please send comments to smf-discuss, I don't need to be cc'd. Thanks!
