You can safely ommit it when setting options with sysctl as shown above. I'd give it a try with out the '-w' flag. Although I don't know if it'll fix your issues. Just maybe a step in the right direction. > Thanks, > Ms. Jimi Thompson, CISSP, Rev. ~Shane Kinney Web: http://www.freebsdhackers.net IRC: irc.freebsdhackers.net #freebsd PGP: http://www.freebsdhackers.net/pgp -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+3XyIgsso3QO013ERAqQ5AKCOOAzKidPBCGCJ2W/Jb23nXdCRwACeIzOO T7nUctlbH/J02Ewo7JO/fX0= =bkPR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
