Netgraph cannot be loaded by hand because of the private namespace between dependend modules (a symbol not explicit exported but global in a module can be seen only by other modules if loaded via a dependency). Compiling into the kernel is hardly an option if you are going to fix things taking into account compile times on sparc. harti -- harti brandt, http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/cats/employees/hartmut.brandt/private brandt@fokus.gmd.de, brandt@fokus.fhg.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
