In the handbook we trust: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-config.html "For details of all the possible kernel options, see /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT." However, I'd agree with you if you suggested that the prerequisites for smbfs should be documented in an smbfs man page. I'd even be willing to take a cut at writing said man page (I'm sometimes mocked for not only knowing, but *liking* troff, but it does come in handy sometimes). -- Chris BeHanna http://www.pennasoft.com Principal Consultant PennaSoft Corporation chris@pennasoft.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
