Thanks! Should I just remove the reference to compat.linux.osrelease, or do we need to make other wider changes to the text around the area. It currently reads: % <sect2 id="configtuning-sysctlconf"> % <title><filename>sysctl.conf</filename></title> % % <indexterm><primary>sysctl.conf</primary></indexterm> % <indexterm><primary>sysctl</primary></indexterm> % % <para><filename>sysctl.conf</filename> looks much like % <filename>rc.conf</filename>. Values are set in a % <literal>variable=value</literal> % form. The specified values are set after the system goes into % multi-user mode. Not all variables are settable in this mode.</para> % % <para>To turn off logging of fatal signal exits and let Linux % programs know they are really running under &os;, the following % tunables can be set in <filename>sysctl.conf</filename>:</para> % % <programlisting>kern.logsigexit=0 # Do not log fatal signal exits (e.g. sig 11) % compat.linux.osname=&os; % compat.linux.osrelease=4.3-STABLE</programlisting> % </sect2> % </sect1> _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
