Case in point: my sound driver has been marked '0 (autoclean)' for the past 8 hours and it's still there. There's not much autoclean. Is modclean installed? 'type modclean' does not find it and 'dpkg -S modclean' only finds 'modclean.8.gz'. Also I'm a bit confused. My network card is marked '1 (autoclean)'. Does that mean that modclean would unload it? Or would it be prevented from doing so by the '1'? Also my masquerading modules are all marked '0 (unused)'. I assume the difference is that I did an insmod so they won't be unloaded even if they are not in use. Would there be a way to load them on demand instead? Like if one of the clients on my network does an ftp then the kernel would load 'ip_masq_ftp'? And five minutes later (or whenever I run autoclean) it would unload the module. I guess I'm dreaming. -- Francois Gouget [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fgouget.free.fr/ Linux: the choice of a GNU generation
