My plan is to finish adding Netgraph-related features by the end of this week. Also I plan to do some research work to understand how to handle sysctl change attempts in the kernel. This will be required to implement systcl change handler. Hmm, what are you planning to do in regards to a sysctl change handler? I believe the kern.feature.* sysctls should be read-only by design. -- John Baldwin
