It is, I used it a few weeks back to force a scsi reprobe when I couldn't
reboot the machine.  I needed to get it to talk to a tape drive that had
been hot plugged in.... :-O  I created an LKM for the drivers since it's
not a normal part of the kernel.  I dropped into DDB while doing it to 
ensure a quiet scsi bus, crossed all fingers and did it.  It actually 
worked! :-)  I thought it was kinda neat actually. :-)

I remember Julian showing it to us once when he was over here speaking at 
a the local unix user group meeting.

Cheers,
-Peter
