Since you seem to be able to choose which ones are valid, and which ones are not, you can certainly document them. Please don't decline my request, because I'll have to end up fixing any of your breakage, and it is terribly wasteful of both of our time. BTW, please don't waste my time. If you want sysctl better documented, then there is a nice project for you!!! I'll even feed answers to your questions for you to fill in the fields. -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@freebsd.org | it just makes you look stupid, jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
