That decade of experience has led to network administration with Solaris reaching the breaking point (pre-dladm). I don't want to go back there. With regard to the manpages: we need to fix stale documentation, not expend engineering effort working around it. It has much broader consequences than dladm tunables. Things have actually gotten much better in the past few years manpage-wise, but the networking driver manpages are still a ghetto. -- meem _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
