Subject:   sysctl for string arguments ?
Message-ID:  <199810061550.QAA06801@labinfo.iet.unipi.it>

Hi,

can someone point me to some code which is already in the kernel and
can handle sysctl for R/W string arguments ?

I see there is sysctl_handle_string but i am totally unclear on how to
make it works, and a few attempts just resulted in panics. Furthermore
i cannot find a single place where this is used!

other strings in sysctl args seem not to be R/W (or at least,
not settable with the "sysctl" command... e.g. kern.hostname and the
like).

	thanks
	luigi
