It sounds to me like this would be interesting to have, as long as it wouldn't be much work to keep it up-to-date now. I have a vague notion that this might be very useful for AFS file servers, for instance. (although that would require some more work on the OpenAFS-side of things...) I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but I might try some tests with it next weekend. I could try it on PPC and Sparc64, in addition to i386. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
