(http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net) to see whether someone also has this issue, perhaps it has been solved already etc. From my point of view, this currently is not a problem but undesired functionality. If the discussion on -net@ proves that this is a problem (and should be fixed); please head back to me and I will be happy to add more information to the audit trail and reopen the PR (I will be closing this in a minute). Do not feel offended please, I am just trying to follow the right lines to insert PR's into the system (they should be researched first and verified and then added to the PR database), apart from that you will most likely get a quicker response on the mailinglist then on the PR list. Thanks. Remko -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder ** remko@elvandar.org FreeBSD ** remko@FreeBSD.org /* Quis custodiet ipsos custodes */
