Dear John, I have specifically addressed this concern of yours just several weeks ago. Please see the following message, which you've never replied to: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/p4-projects/2007-September/021121.html I've used the documented parts of the FreeBSD's sysctl interface to preserve 100% userland compatibility with OpenBSD. I cannot possibly see why you would have a problem with such an approach other than for the fact that OpenBSD is not a proprietary system with wealthy sponsors. Cheers, Constantine. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
