Also I noticed that the default timeout (what is the default timeout anyway= -=20 the watchdogd manpage doesn't tell) is a little short: I got a watchdogd=20 triggered panic once during a normal shutdown, after "rebooting" was printe= d=20 but before the reboot could happen. =2D-=20 ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --nextPart8106911.aYQrEq6lGm Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBtUs8Xhc68WspdLARAhouAJwIWIS2QC8W1+gVFliVGdGvrozQKQCbB+GY WE0rNufRt+pUgrKKB8vWqv4= =TXFw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart8106911.aYQrEq6lGm--
