+Subject: Solaris 10 service manifest
+To: dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk
+
+
+I've found dnsmasq much easier to set up on my home server running Solaris
+10 than the stock dhcp/dns server, which is probably overkill anyway for my
+simple home network needs. Since Solaris now uses SMF (Service Management
+Facility) to manage services I thought I'd create a simple service manifest
+for the dnsmasq service. The manifest currently assumes that dnsmasq has
+been installed in '/usr/local/sbin/dnsmasq' and the configuration file in
+'/usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf', so you may have to adjust these paths for
+your local installation. Here are the steps I followed to install and enable
+the dnsmasq service:
+ # svccfg import dnsmasq.xml
+ # svcadm enable dnsmasq
+
+To confirm that the service is enabled and online:
+
+ # svcs -l dnsmasq
+
+I've just started learning about SMF so if anyone has any
+corrections/feedback they are more than welcome.
+
+Thanks,
+David
