This should be documented in LINT (or NOTES if using -current). I did this--and it turns out to cause problems. After a couple of days aof poking, I've found out that with this line included in my kernel, networking doesn't work (but everything else does). I remove the line, and the system is back to normal . . . Who should I tell about this, and what kind of traces will they want? hawk -- Prof. Richard E.
