Bodie, Thanks for the information. This would be an elegant solution for pure zfs world but in a a heterogeneous environment I wanted a more generic solution.
That said, I made some changes that got me where I wanted. * disable nwam -- This allowed me to run virtual nics to do things like internal DNS services * drop the per-user pools -- This allowed me to to the rsync backup for all users in a single shot * enable root as a user -- This allowed me to use ssh to log in remotely to do backups. Now everything is happily running again. I'm not happy about enabling root login which opens the door for a brute-force password attack. Can I give another user the "root" role so I can use that user for ssh? Gary -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
