I have a dual personality :-) My original post to hackers from admin2 was
caught by the moderation mechanism, ctodd is what I signed up with, I just
don't like to post under my regular alias because I get spammed to death.
Oh well, too late now.

No, they (snd_*) just don't get built. There is no /boot/modules
directory, at least in 5.3. I put off playing with 5.x until a reasonably

5.x release?
