I don't agree. Nwam is a service for me to set up the suitable/correct 
network environment based on the information gathered from 
system/network. It uses some system service management mechanism (don't 
know the correct term) like service represent/start/stop/rollback etc to 
achieve its goal. I think SMF is only a tool for Nwam, and the idea can 
be introduced to non-Solaris system without SMF.
