The existing best practice would seem to be that the service is disabled until _some_ explicit administrative opt-in enabling action is performed. Whether that's a "svcadm enable ..." incantation, or something else that implicitly enables the service would both adhere to the best practice (the ypinit command is one example of the latter as it implicitly enables appropriate network/nis/* services). In the latter case, to be symmetrical an implicit disable mechanism should also exist when the feature is disabled or when the software determines that the service is no longer needed by the implementation. > If we agreed we do not need to follow such precedence, I can change how > VRRP works. -Seb
