I *knew* I remembered something about SMF from your "rethinking pid 1" blog post. There, you say: However, in many ways it is overly complex and, let's say, a bit academic with its excessive use of XML and new terminology for known things. It is also closely bound to Solaris specific features such as the contract system. Yeahhh. So, that's what I'm sayin': let's avoid bringing in its "academic" complexity and terminology, in cases where we can just be straightforward. :) -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx> Senior Systems Architect -- Instructional & Research Computing Services Harvard School of Engineering & Applied Sciences -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
