Anybody want to make a few bucks doing this? Hi Jaye, I did this, I submitted "sysctl" patches against 2.1R, and I don't think anyone ever committed or did anything with them, because sysctl had "changed" and I didn't have a -current system to hack on. I can probably dig up the patches, if you are interested, if you are willing to go Round Two of getting them integrated into FreeBSD's -current tree.. it is running on several of my machines. (If I sound a little exasperated, I am, since one in ten little feature patches I submit actually get applied, and it's been a really crappy week, and my tolerance is at an all time low). If you want to send me a few bucks that's fine too. I run a free public access UNIX system that is always short on resources. ...
