It is completely enabled. However, enabled doesn't mean the service is online. It means that we're trying to make it be online, but its dependencies may not be satisfied, it may have failed, or it may just not be online yet.

It'd make a great OpenSolaris RFE, though. :) In the meantime, you could wait a little bit to see if smf_get_state() returns SCF_STATE_STRING_ONLINE before continuing. liane -- Liane Praza, Solaris Kernel Development liane.praza at sun.com - http://blogs.sun.com/lianep
