Inside of sysctl() and > the SYSCTL() macros you would update the time every time a write was made, no de > added, node removed, etc. However, it is a gross hack. You're right, it would be a gross hack. :) Also, I can see where it would be valuable to be able to distinguish between tree modification (nodes entered or left) and an existing node simply being written to. Maybe a compound type, just to make it even grosser! :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
