I've just checked, and my system has that sysctl knob set to 1 already. I don't know how long that has been the case, though: perhaps it has only been since my last boot anyway? I will give reboot another try when I am next in the same room as the machine... I still track -stable with csup, because I believed that to be the officially preferred method. Is it OK to track directly with svn, now? More specifically, how can one correlate svn revision numbers against a csup-extracted source tree? Cheers, -- Andrew
