Guess I could have done more research regarding this, sorry. Jon's Patch actually looks almost exactly the same minus the possibility to get the setting from loader.conf. Yes, I definitely would prefer a sysctl solution - not beacuse I do change this very often or on the fly, ( neither do I change the kern.ipc.* parameters all that often :) but because it is, as Jon, pointed out , a root only solution. Regarding Kernel-bloat - valid point, but why not have the Floppy GENERIC Kernel *without* the Keyboard-Reboot code at all ? That will remove all, the shutdown_nice() as well as the sysctl stuff. There's actually a number of options that could be turned off in the Floppy GENERIC Kernel, since it really only should be used for installation - but that discussion should be held in another thread. Well, I'm not going to insist. Too many long-winding discussions here already - I always can apply my own patches to my own kernel :) Regards, Pascal To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
