Except for the fact that a sysctl node name cannot begin with a digit. I have code for the following. IMO, it is gross, but it does the job: net.interfaces.bridge0.name = bridge0 net.interfaces.bridge0.sndq.len = 0 net.interfaces.bridge0.sndq.maxlen = 256 net.interfaces.bridge0.sndq.drops = 0 net.interfaces.index5.name = xvif1.0 net.interfaces.index5.sndq.len = 0 net.interfaces.index5.sndq.maxlen = 512 net.interfaces.index5.sndq.drops = 0 Dave -- David Young OJC Technologies dyo...@ojctech.com Urbana, IL * (217) 278-3933
