Your choices are: - device, - sysctl, - syscall. You need to think about what you exactly need and which options will be the best. Creating new syscall isn't good idea, creating device is more complicated than sysctl, but of course it's up to you and your needs. -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek [EMAIL PROTECTED] UNIX Systems Programmer/Administrator http://garage.freebsd.pl Am I Evil?
