I've gone over the blog entry (haven't followed through to the links within it 
yet), and there *seems* to be a contradiction with what David was saying. It 
seems that there is actually more detail that I missed.

I didn't notice before that there are actually two different multi-user 
milestones, "multi-user" and "multi-user-server". I had always been assuming 
just "multi-user" which would equate with runlevel 3. Seeing how there are 
actually _two_, equating to runlevels 2 and 3, help explains some of the 
confusion in my discussions with David.

So, (most of) the milestones actually do relate to runlevels, but the milestone 
names need to be read carefully.

So going back to the original question from Christine, it seems from your blog 
entry (not explicitly stated) that a system, without changes, would default to 
milestone=multi-user-server. So am I correct in assuming that you would 
actually need to make a change to go to milestone=all? (eg. svcadm milestone) 
And, going back to one of my comments, telnetd is in multi-user-server? And, 
why would you want to go to "all" anyway?

It might be nice to have a listing of all milestones (in order from none to 
all), and mention those that actually relate to one of the old runlevels. :-)

Thanks again. I'll go ahead and put the link to this blog entry into the doc 
list, and eagerly await the follow-ups. :-)
