IMHO it's time to define a general style for new sysctl names. The first two points could be a) "foo" vs. "nofoo" for boolean knobs, and b) underscore usage. Presently there seem to be few "nofoo" knobs in the system, e.g.: # sysctl -aN | fgrep .no kern.nodump_coredump -- should be coredump_nodump net.inet6.icmp6.nodeinfo -- false match debug.nosleepwithlocks dev.fxp.0.noflow I don't think new ones should be introduced; their logic would be unnecessarily vague. OTOH, there are enough sysctl names containing an underscore to encourage using it in complex names. An exception could be made for really short names, such as consisting of not more than 2 words, each being not longer than 4 letters. What do you think about that, folks? -- Yar
