Sysctls _probably_ shouldn't be relocated, since they point to memory locations and/or functions there's really nothing wrong with providing the old one just to keep people's startup scripts from failing on them. If kern.suser_permitted has only been visible in the 5.x tree then feel free to rename it, however if it has been seen in 4.x then I suggest you rethink renaming something that people may already be depending on being set for security reasons in thier startup scripts. -- -Alfred Perlstein [alfred@freebsd.org] Ok, who wrote this damn function called '??'?
