It seems a bit awkward to have to use a property group itself as though it were a boolean property, rather than having an actual property. Since SCF doesn't admit the possibility of temporary properties, and since having the system clear out a persistent property would probably be too hackish, did you consider creating a "config_ovr" temporary group with the new flag as "config_ovr/fastreboot_default"? The design for the "general" property group seems to use this scheme: temporary settings go in "general_ovr" (a non-persistent property group) and permanent ones in "general." Things that have to deal with those "general" properties look in both places. One other very tiny nit: "_np" as a suffix has historically meant "non-POSIX." Are we sure we want it to mean "non-persistent" as well? -- 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
