Hi mike, Terry, I've created a SYSCTL_INT.9 manpage. I've appended it so you can comment. And/or perhaps can commit it, if you have commit-rights Next question: If an include file requires another include file. eg. sys/sysctl.h requires sys/kernel.h Does the include for kernel.h go into sysctl.h? Reason I ask, is that there were no errors when I compiled without the inclusion, but that was the problem I could not see the debug.vlinkxlate in sysctl. :-( --WjW .\" -*- nroff -*- .\" .\" Copyright (c) 1998 Willem Jan Withagen .\" .\" All rights reserved. .\" .\" This program is free software. .\" .\" Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without .\" modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions .\" are met: .\" 1.
