Hi,
I'm having trouble starting time-slider on the text version of oi151a. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install oi151a text. 2. Reboot. Login. Run: # pkg install time-slider # svcadm enable -r time-slider 3. Obtain error. Time-slider put in "maintenance" mode. # svcs -xv svc:/application/time-slider:default (GNOME Desktop Snapshot Management Service) State: maintenance since January 23, 2012 10:30:10 AM MST Reason: Start method exited with $SMF_EXIT_ERR_FATAL. See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-KS See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M zfs See: /var/svc/log/application-time-slider:default.log Impact: This service is not running. # cat /var/svc/log/application-time-slider\:default.log [ Jan 23 10:29:12 Disabled. ] [ Jan 23 10:29:12 Rereading configuration. ] [ Jan 23 10:30:06 Enabled. ] [ Jan 23 10:30:06 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/time-slider start"). ] crontab: can't open your crontab file.

In addition, they are present in the gui version of oi151a, and time-slider seems to work fine (assuming one runs the graphical time-slider-setup). What I need is the autosnapshot capability of timeslider. Is there a way of enabling autosnapshots without the security work-around or using the graphical setup program?
