Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2002 20:02:47 -0700 From: "George V. Neville-Neil" Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hey Folks, I was just wondering if anyone had considered making it possible to control PCBs from the sysctl interface? I'm not completely familiar with sysctl yet, is it possible to add information to the database dynamically? It would be nice to be able to disconnect, or modify, long running connections, for instance on a machine under DOS attack or perhaps for debugging. Just an idea... Thanks, George -- George V.
