I just cvsup'ed to 4.8 stable branch and making changes. I recentlyl found this mod for sysctl.conf: net.inet.tcp.blackhole=2 net.inet.udp.blackhole=1 kern.ps_showallprocs=0 So I added these three lines. 1) Can someone email me the URL to where in the manual covers all my options in regards to adding kernel values to sysctl.conf? or otherwise a URL to some guru's page that discusses sysctl.conf? 2) Do I have to reboot or restart a process after modifying sysctl.conf? Though I have been BSD'ing it for many many years, I never seem to run out of newbie sounding questions! Thanks as always. FBSD rules. 'nuff said. Kris
