(The only place it occurs in the project''s current materials is in dladm(1M) man page diffs.) I think that Clearview Nemo UV (2006/499) made it Obsolete, and given the lack of Nevada release, removal probably isn''t wrong, but it should have been documented. -- 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
