Anyone seen sysctl -a loop forever? I haven't been able to track down the MIB that it's gettinng hung up on, but it looks like there's a flaw in the algo that is walking through the MIBs. Given that this halts the machine while trying to collect entropy (sysctl -a is used to help feed /dev/random) at system start up, I think it's something worth addressing or pointing out. -sc [snip] net.inet.ipf.ippr_ftp_pasvonly: 0 net.inet.ipf.fr_minttl: 3 net.inet.ipf.fr_minttllog: 1 [hangs forever in a for() loop] ^C $ PS I'm still catching up on -current and -cvs if this has already come up. -sc -- Sean Chittenden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
