I suspect that this is something many users of FreeBSD would not be happy about; however, if we want to add a sysctl twiddler for sysinstall (one that knows about common names, and parses the current sysctl.conf) that would be fine by me. > > > NOTE: kern.ps_showallprocs exists in -STABLE, and therefore there is > > an API change. kern.ipc.showallsockets does not. > > How about keeping kern.ps_showallprocs around as an alias? Another possibility would be to introduce the new name in RELENG_4 as an alias, which I something I'd feel more comfortable with. ps_showallprocs is, unfortunately, a rather poor name, and one I'd rather replace. :-) Robert N M Watson FreeBSD Core Team, TrustedBSD Project robert@fledge.watson.org NAI Labs, Safeport Network Services To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
