it is a separator. You can't have it in the name.
a patch that converted . to _ would be a nice idea.
please ensure that the man page is updated as well.
Doesn't FreeBSD care about kernel/userland backward interface
compatibility at all ? ie. will all my scripts assuming '.' as a
separator need to also check the FreeBSD version to use whatever path
separator ? How would you do that with bare ngctl script, which cannot
be really that evolved ? How do you deal with node in the wild already
using '_' in their name ?
well you can't have '.' as it is not a negotiable point..
'.' is the separator in netgraph paths.. like em0:up.raw.inet
might be such a path.
do you want to have filenames with '/' in them as well?
note: you can rename the interfaces to have '.' in them if you want I
think..
just not the netgraph names
Thanks,
