I think that if the sysctl data was reorganized, so that the per module or instance data was at the leaves of the tree, you could avoid the problem entirely. This is the general approach used on MIB definitions used for SNMP; each variable is an instance (usually the 0th) at the leaf. You don't get the opportunity to clean them all up at once by deleting a whole subtree, but you don't get the hair, either. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
