sure I imagine it would work, but I'd want to see someone come up for a darn good reason to need it before bogging the system down with a mess like that. at least in my case, some clever hoop-jumping gets rid of the nastiness of having stale events.. keeping the kernel side as light weight as humanly possible should be very high on the list of priorities here. -- zach - - - - - - 007 373 5963 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
