When I type that in a shell I get "Illegal > variable name". Yup, those are taken directly from my /etc/rc.local, and a cut-n-paste of those names from the message gets back the values I expect. I've been using this since 4.2-STABLE; if you're running something earlier, it may not work. The other possibility is that you're trying to set them before the linux module is loaded. For instance, if you're trying to set them vi /etc/rc.sysctl, that happens before the linux module is loaded. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
