I don't think this really qualifies as a > bug fix, but it is up to Jordan if he'll let you MFC it. Actually, I'm up for MFC'ing the current set of documentation or applying my patch directly to LINT (and leaving NOTES alone). I'll let Jordan make the call on what he'd like to see in 4.x. I'd really like to see this get done because of what I see on the postrgresql lists and my own experiances not having fun trying to tune for semaphores and shared memory by having to grovel through the kernel source to get a clue as to what each tunable does. It would be a really nice 'feature' to be in 4.2 and not having these things documented almost qualifies as a bug. -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
