Wouldn't say "extra-unsmart" as you can try to give enough directions to tell people they need to compile a new kernel immediately after the install with BPF enabled. I do acknowledge the support headache this could lead to. However, if BPF is enabled in GENERIC, I think we will take a lot of heat... for the security implications. Admittedly.. a hard problem. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
