No; the problem is that there is no clear distinction of which variables must be set in /boot/loader.conf and which can/must be set in /etc/sysctl.conf (or later, manually). The solution presented was to put everything in /boot/loader.conf and have a script run later that would re-do those settings that did not take because they are required to happen after boot. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
