There's an /etc/svc/repository.db that's a transactional db which gets updated continuously as svc state changes, including at system boot as svcs start up. There's also a backup of that db made at every boot, /etc/svc/repository-boot-$timestamp, since if you corrupt /etc/svc/repository.db you're in trouble (you'll crash down to single-user at boot and have to restore / regenerate) I'm not aware of the updating of that file being a cause for major complaint amongst Solaris types though ;-) later, chris -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
