A version of FreeBSD made especially for you, without any traces = of >IPv6. Does exactly what you want. Why the long diatribe asking for >something else once you've been shown how to do what you want? Rebuild kernel+world is not exactly a quick solution. And god only knows how much will break once I've done that. How many othe= r people have tested -all- of the resulting binaries, seriously, on actual production systems? (I may be the first one ever, at least for 12.0.) But this is all besides the point anyway. I am now resigned to my fate, and I am already up to the fifth stage of grief with respect to this issue= . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%BCbler-Ross_model Regards, rfg
