Sorry Joakim, I'll bring this one back to the list.

But if you start mentionning calomel as a source of information, I feel an urge to clarify that your source of information is broken. I have received mails about *every week* asking why something I wrote was broken when that was just an outdated broken calomel example. That broken example still has it wrong and still drags mail to my mailbox. When you encourage others to follow that same broken source as you, I will not take it private because you're publically dumbing people. > And also a comment on calomel; yes I use it but I'm not stupid enough to > either copy straight from it OR use the sysctl...

Are they idiots ? No, some people thought it was a correct source of information because people mentionned it and no one clarified that it was a pile of junk. > If you have a problem with calomel either make sure it does not surface in > every search (above openbsd FAQ I might add). > Sadly I'm not root on Google (yet ? ;p) and Internet is not a source of clean information, which is why some things need to be clarified to also surface in searches ;-) > Just my 2 cents off list. > cheers, -- Gilles Chehade https://www.poolp.org @poolpOrg
