Assuming it's just for OpenSolaris itself, an obvious-sounding answer would be to have a single text file in ON that serves as the authority for at least the device IDs. Projects wishing to allocate a number will need to merge changes into that file. Another (not incompatible) possibility is to set up some space on the web site and use the ARC to run a registry. That's slightly more work but would probably be more flexible. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
