I appreciate that this is a dangerous operation, and I further appreciate that I have to do a little hard work in order to be able to make it happen. What I was complaining about was the problem with doing a "resetconfig" and then attempting to re-do the configuration, but then running into the need to either unload the lkm (which the documentation indicates works about 4/5 of the time) and perhaps having a kernel panic problem. It's the "resetconfig; exit; sync; sync; sync; shutdown -r now" that I was complaining about. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News/mail/FTP Admin Rue Col.
