hmm ... NWAM is very tightly coupled to SMF (service management facility) at the moment, and I don't think we should even consider configuring the network without NWAM on Solaris going forward. I do agree that on other platforms, the situation may be different ... but we were talking about (Open)Solaris, IIRC :-) Michael -- Michael Schuster Sun Microsystems, Inc. recursion, n: see 'recursion'
