You might as well just exit, and assume that whoever sees it not running should have enough of a clue to know why it exited. 8-). The only failure mode that gets to the end there is the module not loading, and the error is not indicative of the load failure, was all I was saying. Like I said, it's an OK change (at least if it's OK for ifconfig and mount to load modules, instead of the demand causing the kernel to load them), it's just a bit light on the error message. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
