Most notably is NetBSD's use of (for example) $ipfilter while FreeBSD uses $ipfilter_enable. Not wanting to break POLA, I was thinking about hacking /etc/rc.subr to check $ and if that is unset, check $_enable. Any thoughts? I have yet to see any thoughts, criticisms, critiques or anything of the like for the initial patch that I posted (plug http://hobbes.melthusia.org/~gordont/rc_ng.diff). So I'm going to continue working along my current path. I've just moved so it's slowed up a bit, but hopefully I'll be able to return it shortly. -gordon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
