Yes, that's likely a good answer if it's truly a global-zone-only service. How linkmgmt should be handled by zones installation is a property of its package, governed by the SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES, SUNW_PKG_HOLLOW, and SUNW_PKG_THISZONE attributes; see pkginfo(4). Most likely what you're after with this solution would be: SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES=true SUNW_PKG_HOLLOW=true SUNW_PKG_THISZONE=false Dave
