(No pun intended.) :-) For example the longer Type 30s and 42-6's. We strongly recommended - to OUR customers - not to use it for chucking SMF around (except in highly specialised circumstances). IFASMFDP is the one to use. (Presently I'll be writing up the Logger-based implementation in the SMF Management wiki as well as my developerWorks blog.)
