This complicates the sysctl a fair bit. Can't we find some way >to build this list automagically ? Oops, I forgot that the SYSCTL macros hid the use of linker sets when John asked me about this. Perhaps you should implement sysctl again :-). Something needs to be done anyway to support it in LKMs and fix it in vfs's. One idea: attach everything to one linker set and encode the tree structure in the oid struct. I think this doesn't lose anything except possibly space. Bruce
