It's a loader tunable, as I learned from this list some time ago. Don't search to find it in the sysctl list, you won't find it there. :-) In FreeBSD 7 you should be able to set this setting using the file /boot/loader.conf. I think I had this setting on a FreeBSD 5 machine, I'll go and check. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
