I was paging through the distributed.net client changelog and they
had a note there basically asking for a sysctl interface to apm --
in short, they wanted the ability for non-root users to detect
power state (AC/batt) and battery level. At first, I wondered why
they regarded this differently from

The low-level interrupt handlers are in
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/exc
So, it would appear that in /sys/conf/options, we have the following:
INETopt_inet.h
INET6 opt_inet6.h
Which might seem all nice and dandy - except that config will not generate
"opt_inet6.h" with "#undef INET6" if "option INET6" is not present and so

I believed it and committed the manpage diff within it. :-(
All the other VOP* manual pages just say "entry point", but
VOP_LOOKUP(9) said "VFS entry point", the patch changed that to be
consistent with the rest. Can someon

Please don't crosspost. -questions would have been more appropriate for
this.

This may sound flippant, but it isn't meant to be. If config without the
-r works

Hello,
I think the config program used to compile a kernel lacks some
documentation because there are several points that remain unclear to
me, even after reading the man page. I had several bad surprises with it
! :-)
As I didn't want to recompile the whole stuff, I used a config and
Hey,
I want to get the accurate user-time and system-time used by a process
whenever I want. My code will run inside the kernel. I try to use the
getrusage from within the kernel, but the function didn't give right data.
Then I try to read the p_uticks in the proc structure. But it seems that

Hi Ben,
If you can go to 4.0s, there is /usr/ports/net/mpd-netgraph which works

There's been a problem reported by several people on multi-HD multiboot
systems about the bootloader clearing active flags and making it impossible
to reboot without using a boot disk to use FDISK to reset the active flag.
This was solved by turning on the "noupdate" option with boot0cfg, but I ha

No it didn't. rootvn was still magically wired from rootdev,
with DEVFS mounted first it could be looked up with namei in
a proper fashion.
