Even then, only NFS' sysctls were 'fixed' to use vfc_typenum as their oid numbers. Other filesystems with sysctls such as ufs were still 'broken'. It is possible to change vfs_register so that it hacks the vfc_typenum into any oid it finds under 'vfs.' with the right name. I prefer just changing the supported mode of access to sysctlbyname(). -- Doug Rabson Mail: d...@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
