Add sysctl for apps is a no-no, sysctl is for=20 system control, not userland control. The rc.conf=20 is not for that neither, it has system wide=20 configuration, not app specific config. The best solution (for me) is leave sh untouched=20 without this functionality. Fork it and make a=20 sh++ port with this (and more) functionality ,=20 install it and use it. Is it really too much work=20 to change your default (non-root) shell? I use zsh f.ex. Take care, if you start the system in rescue mode=20 or singleuser mode, will the new "hook" feature=20 search the unmounted partitions for ports info?=20 will it connect to internet for that? will fail miserably? > <mike L ---------------------------------------------- Si la vida te da la espalda, =A1tocale el culo! =20
