On a somewhat related note: In 10U1, ifconfig(1M) does not even mention dladm. As a user coming from another OS (Linux, BSD, etc), I expect "ifconfig" to be a network InterFace CONFIGuration utility. So if I need to configure some network interface, the first place I'll look is ifconfig. It would be very helpful if the ifconfig man page mentioned dladm in the "SEE ALSO" section. [Apologies if the man page in more recent versions is up-to-date.. 10U1 is the most recent I have] Drew _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
