When the kernel fails to load a module, kldload(2) returns ENOEXEC, which strerror(3) translates to "exec format error". If you can think of a better errno value to use, feel free to send patches. The only alternatives I can think of are ENOSYS (ambiguous) and EFTYPE (just as vague as ENOEXEC). DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
