I don't think that sysctl(8) is really the right place since there really isn't enough space for nontrivial documentation and documenting many things in a single place doesn't really scale that well. I would like to see something like longrun(4) which described the sysctls and indicated what each longrun level actually means. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Phone: +44 20 8348 6160 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-audit" in the body of the message
