If you are close to done, I would appreciate it if you could let me use the code. I was thinking of adding an ioctl for local use myself. Or a sysctl provided I could figure out how the sysctl interface works. (Any body have notes on the 4.4BSD/FreeBSD sysctl interface?) I guess sysctl would be nicer.... Thanks, --rohit.
